Re: [Amc-list] Jeep XJ Rear Shock Mount Question

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

If it works for you.
It'll last till the shocks wear out and if it can't be undone you can cut the holes in the floor then!
Probably what I should have done, but I don't have an air chisel, hate the noise!
I hope to keep this one for a very long time, though rust is starting to be an issue :[ 
Wife is starting to talk new car and at this time I expect to trade the Dakota and keep the Cherokee.
It has less miles, better mpg and sounds really good too!
I put a magnaflow cat on it and Dynomax cat back exhaust.
It sounds sweet! Just the right tone for an old guy who doesn't like an obnoxious six droning on!
Cheap too!
$135 for the cat back from Summitt got me $50 summit bucs.
Cat was $110 for a bolt on and less the $50 made it $60!
$195 for the whole deal and I put it all on in less then two hours. 
Nice stainless steel tip too.
