Update after replacing exhaust manifold gasket and exhaust system in my 1997 Jeep TJ

A few months ago, I replaced the exhaust manifold and gasket and then the entire exhaust system, among a lot of other projects (check out the Project TJ Playlist!). As always with DIY projects, not every little thing ends up on camera. This video is an update on how things have been going since the original videos were recorded. I point out some items I’ve learned and other maintenance I’ve needed to do in order to get things running smoothly. UPDATE 8/28/21 - After about4 months, the Idle Air Controller I installed started acting up and I replaced it again. I made a video on how to do that and will post a link to it. Project TJ is the chronicling of working on my 1997 Jeep Wrangler. It's the SE version of a TJ with a 2.5L four cylinder and a standard transmission. At the time of making this video, the Jeep had ~204,200 miles on it. I hope you enjoy!
