[MiniSimp]

Why not? Some kind of liability thing?

[Ramrod]

[Ramrod]

no tube-

shocks from below-

from above-

how i wanted them

[THK Matt]

why couldnt you mount them the way you wanted... did i miss it?

[Hyena]

his tire would hit them.

[kiyul4130]

sounds like he's stoked on how nice it rides from the phone call i got.

[THK Matt]

his tire would hit them.

Bummer

[Ramrod]

ya it rides tits as can be and doesnt have much body roll during normal driving, has a major gangster lean on slow turns like a parking lot or something though but i dont care its pretty funny

[Austin W]

suspension looks sick. sucks about ur bed tho

[Ramrod]

hahaha--------not much more than a year ago.....poor little guy didnt even see it coming........

[Ramrod]

got an appointment to get my exhaust done at muff n stuff mufflers here in sonoma california today and the owner doug did an awsome job on it totally tight fitting and way out of the way.  this is the third exhaust ive had him do and i would recommend him to anyone.....awesome work. pics to come, not your run of the mill exhaust

Thatd be funnier if the name was stuff'n muff

Hahaha

[Ramrod]

ya he's got a cool name

[kiyul4130]

i love muff and uh, stuff. and i love stuffin muff.

[lilbuddy]

i love muff and uh, stuff. and i love stuffin muff.

Pretty much

[Ramrod]

pics dont do the job justice, there are a ton of bends in there and everything is semetrical and lined up perfect





poser shot

needs to come down a notch in the rear

[Yota4life]

thats a sick exhaust setup, the muffler fits perfect like that under the rear or the bed. Nice

[kiyul4130]

very nice. grab a cut off wheel and take out that extra bit of steel holding up the muff stuffer. i know you just got it done!, it bothers me though again, looks nice

[slabcs]

i'm guessing that got taken care of kiyul... looks like it's just there to be mocked up
also your gas tank looks like mine, nice

[Ramrod]

ya he cut that off before he dropped it down off the lift, that thank is cherry   "high clearence"

[kiyul4130]

i didnt think about that. duh! so much for snow building up right there under the bed haha.

[THK Matt]

nice exhaust setup, damn i dig that!
does having the muffler way back there, make it quieter or louder?

[Hyena]

looks tits.  i love the look of brand new exhaust.

[854RUN]

Hell ya, the truck is looking sick. Your exhaust came out supper clean 

[Ramrod]

probably makes it quieter since i would have room for zero tailpipe the conventional way and this has alot more bends to quiet it up also

[MiniSimp]

You have the same custom clearanced gas tank that I do!

[854RUN]

Do you plan on reinforce the frame in the rear??

[Ramrod]

possibly box it in and tie it all into an exo but not much more than that, its pretty strong

[854RUN]

Nice, ya I have heard it will flex a lot since it just c channel in the back

[Ramrod]

i figured that the wieght of the truck is being now put about 18" forward of where it used to be which means less leverage on the rear of the frame, also there is no torque going through the rear unboxed section of the frame anymore either
