Id be fine with a covered car port actually in pa, just don't have the space for one yet
New GM cats for Moby. Thanks Derek for your help getting these!
This set-up causes the exhaust to run down the passenger side. Did you have to chop it up to make it run down the driver side?
This is how it came from the factory. We had an exhaust shop cut it up and route it as needed.

You just aren't paying attention. Moby has/had the old style.

Yea was looking back and can't find any pics of Moby with the new style, but I thought he did at one point.

What the hell was that bolted to? The tub bolts for the rear brake line hanger? Am I seeing things or did it just pull straight out of the tub?
No way those hanger bolts are backed enough to support the weight of the EVAP.
Good eye. As a matter of fact, a part of the mounting plate was secured to those studs on the bottom of the tub. Unfortunately, the other part was secured to the spring perch which is part of the frame. Of course, being that the JK's come with true body mounts that are isolators which allow for significant movement, this setup was doomed from the start. Truth be told, had this thing been secured to the e-brake line hanger bolts alone, it might of had a better chance of not breaking off.
In all fairness, Moby was delivered to them without having anything done to the EVAP. I think they just did what they could with what they had. I should have given everything a good look back then but took it for granted that things would be done right.
Actually, I think they just broke at the weld so there aren't any holes or, nothing too big anyway. Just gotta figure out a better fix for this.

Brand new to this forum, signed up when I saw this thread
First off, I've seen the Wayalife videos on youtube and loved them. I'm in AZ, was surprised to see that you've done a lot of trails out here.
I am working with a local guy to get the EVO bolton coilovers front and rear coupled with the Double D. I am also coordinating a 6.0 LS swap with Motech. I'm only on page 11 of this thread, but I wanted to ask this now since my JKU is scheduled for the swap soon.
Has anyone know of bolt on skids compatible with the LS swap? I asked ORE about theirs and they said that their skid kits will not work. I'm guessing because parts of the kit bolted onto the motor?
Anyway, I don't want to go crazy with the armor, I just want something under there for the unexpected. If I have to stay stock, no biggie. If I have to get something custom-fabbed, then I'll start planning for it. I'm guessing if anyone knows of a good, compatible kit, it would be this crowd.
Thanks, in advance!
