Well, tomorrow bright and early, I'm going to attempt to get my exhaust leak taken care of once and for all... I went to the tool store at lunch and bought a reverse drill bit, a stud extractor (The spiral cone shaped drill bit thingy...), and a can of PB Blaster. I've got a friend coming over with his angle drill and we're going to try and do this with the head on the Jeep. We'll drill it out with the reverse bit and hopefully it will come out when I do that, if not, I'll use the extractor bit by hand (and wrench).
If all goes well and fairly quickly, I'll be putting on my LED tail lights and doing a slight mod to the muffler... It sits too far back and hits the lower control arm mount on the frame when I first take off from a stop, so I'm gonna cut off about 2" from the front pipe on it and move it forward.
If anyone has any tips on the stud extraction, let me hear it. I'm really not looking forward to it, because it's the stud closest to the firewall.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
