Lol that's exactly how I had mine for a while. I was able to move that upper bracket in a way that allowed me to use the hanger properly but the pipe now dumps toward the middle of the jeep instead of straight down.

I'm having the same issue with mine. I'm just going to unbolt the bracket from the frame and tac it where I want maybe a little more outboard

I haven't had a chance to mess with my exhaust because I got distracted on a different project. I found some casters in my downstairs and decided to make a door dolly (Yes I still play with Dolly's[emoji23]). I drilled holes just a little smaller than the nut so they would be a tight fit
here's the nut pressed in
To make things more secure I used 2 part epoxy to hold them in.
Heres the finished dolly
and I added the center support for the doors to rest on and carpeted the bottom to prevent scratches.

That's what I was thinking and it would be better on the paint than other options.

I second that. That be a cheap, easy option that's easy to apply and remove.

I agree, I would just use one I have laying around but they're pretty gnarly looking lol so I'll buy a nice new one. The sad thing is that it's looking like rain here so the doors are already back on.

Looks good already! Good luck!
Just an idea for the dolly would be velcro. Get the tape kind and cut off a piece of the soft and a piece of the hook. Peel the tape side on each and stick them together so that you have loop on one side and hook on the other. Then you wrap it around the top of the doors so the soft part is on the paint and voila. Security without scratches.

That's another great idea, I haven't had a chance to try anything out because it been a little cold since I made the dolly. Don't laugh but anything in the 60s or lower is cold to me lol.

Thanks! I finished up the fronts but I still have to do the rears and get the door edge trim to clean up the edges. Here's a comparison picture and I'll get a finished pic in the morning.
I'm from GA and I feel your pain. Luckily 4 1/2 years at West Point and now being in Colorado has hightened my tolerance a little bit. I like your build, love the color.

I can't imagine going through a real winter but I guess you get used to it. Also thank you it's coming along and the funny part about the color is that I went up to buy a white jeep and came back with an orange one!
