Having to be towed out of the woods and a really big ticket and possibly paying for a large forrest fire in the millions of dollars and a few lost houses and people and pets, other than that, go for it!

I dont understand mrfuelish...
Is it a fire hazard to not run a muffler?

Yep you have to have either a muffler (approved) or a spark arester no glass packs or a streight through type for off road, the rangers around here carry a coat hanger if it goes through you get towed out, alot of guys weld washers in a circle inside the pipe, even in the sand in california you will get a ticket. just cheaper to get a good muffler that flows good and have a good guard on your cat if you have one.

When I got my 2-door in 2002, I didn't have time to put the header on, before I went to Moab, so I just brought it along, and changed it in Slick Rock Campground.  Well, once I had the header on, I just couldn't resist firing her up, before I reconnected the cat.  Sounded like a pissed-off bumblebee...  Humorous!  Now I need to put something on it other than the stock cat & muffler that's still on it.  Spidertrax, on their competition buggy, run some kind of ricer muffler on their 1.6L 16 valve engine.

Bah!  

As a born and raised Canadian I can honestly tell you that I've never seen a "mounty" outside of a parade.

But I should suspect that you think we live in Igloo's and ride dog sleds to work every morning too, EH?

Here's a picture of my Igloo and my Dog sled.   :-*

Sweet Rock Garden in front of the ol-Igloo. How many time have the parents jumped your ass for rock crawling in the yard?

I havent taken a go at the big ones yet, but I play on that pile in the front of the pic every now and then.  ;D

My folks don't really care.  My dad loves my truck and he was the one who origanally suggested that I play on that pile of rocks  ;D
