Finished my "Honey Do" list at Le GF's new apartment. I have a few hours today to get a few items on my list sorted.
Early Sunday morning and neighbors are going to love this!
Exhaust Install
-Unhooked Front Pipe from Downpipe by removing v-clamp.
-2 cuts with Sawzall just behind catalytic converter and just in front of it. I left a couple of inches each side.
-Removed Front Pipe and removed Cat from hanger.
-Unclamped extension pipe and removed from hanger.
-Cut a few inches from the back of the muffler and removed muffler.
-Unhooked 2 other hangers and removed tail pipe extension.
Pretty straight forward. I did it laying on the ground in 15 minutes.
A fresh sawzall blade and a floor jack will help keep things from bouncing around while you cut.
Unpacked new exhaust. Shiny! :datass:
Leftovers
The straight pipe w/ hanger in the leftovers needed to be cut and used with MBRP GM943 Regular Cab Adapter
Aligned, leveled and clamps are tight
Tip installed

Lol rust prep and chassis paint cometh!
I can work on that and wiring on my fog lights while I try to decide what's next.
Tires, Wheels, Lift, Tune Etc.

i love this truck !!! and it seems fast just a suggestion over lifting it.
Kinda liking this.. Chrome for my truck.. but makes me wish I had done all black highlights on red.
you can pull this look off with chrome no problemo, i am not sure what his suspension set up is but those look to be 20x12's and i am 90% sure they are a 305/50/20 tire.
if i where you i would get a 6" lift decrank so you angles are flat and run a 20x12 with a 305/55/20 a/t or 420's but they are a bit out played IMO
No to me thinking I would have been better going with blacked out components?
Or no to the entire stance?
420's are played out? or the whole 305/55 (33") His rims look like 22" and maybe a 32" tire? I should find his thread and see.
probably both lol
but honestly if you aren't going to be driving it a lot and not going too make a 1000+hp truck then if you have the money for it just do the cognito 7-9" with some 37" turz and 24x14 AF's
Lol you want to see this thing on 37's? It will have to be done proper of course..
I don't even know if it would fit in Le Garage
You read Jordan's mind. I probably have about $5K-6K budget left. Leaves open some possibilities.
