    Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a good exhaust system for a 56 cj with an f134? I know that there are a couple places online that sell "stock" systems, which I would not mind, but I have no feedback on any of these that are available. Has anyone ordered one of these? Any opinions?
    Also: I have seen a few vehicles over the years sporting new whitewall tires that very closely resemble vintage truck/at tires, and have done exhaustive searches online trying to find them, but cannot. One of them said "wintermax steel radial" on the side and was a normal size like: 225/65/15, but a search online for what I saw on that vehicle proves fruitless every time. Any suggestions on where to find these, (if you can even decipher what exactly I am trying to describe) would be great.

    for exhaust, try your local NAPA or any parts store that sells Walker exhaust. Got mine local, one day to get from dist center and no shipping.

    I had a local shop do my 2" exhaust. It's in the stock config but they were able to custom bend so it fits further out of the way of rocks than stock. ~$200.

    Thanks guys, I will get a quote from a local shop, (really its just the tail pipe that is in urgent need of replacement, but I would like to keep it in the configuration I have now, where it goes straight out the back), and if the local shop is more expensive, (or wont do the work....ever try to get a place to do an oil change on one of these? They all but laughed in my face.....) I will just go for the Kaiserwillys.com kit. Thanks for the tire suggestions as well.....my main problem is, that a po put modern wheels on my jeep, look to be off of a late model cj, and the old 6" tires of course will not fit on the 8 or 9" rims I have.
    By the way: Homebrew; I like the logo....any chance I could get a larger version of that for printing purposes?
