I swear it's some kind of tard complex. I cringe more so when I see such moves done on actual big rigs!

I like the ones that realize that can't get much from me when both my bumpers are solid steel.

There's also this great invention if your pipes come straight out of the rear of your truck. Melt or light up their whole front end with this piece:

won't work...it's a diesel. diesel won't ignite from a spark. it takes a hot flame (as in not a lighter flame, but a blow torch flame) or high compression to ignite diesel.

believe me...he didn't want to stay back there for very long anyways...



I'm not kidding when I say it has the ability to black out a road if I really want it to...

I'm very good about keeping it clean on the road, but when some A-hole like that is riding my *** being a total douche....he is asking for the black death cloud to surround him...

Used 1999 era Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear 4.10 gears and rear LSD, got a great deal on them to boot, Thanks Colton. Next is new wheels just need to pick a size under 18" Dia and colour, then gear ratio. Not too many parts left to get before I can start the new lift and diff install. The new trac-bar is on its way up from SC should be here next week sometime, Thanks Jeff351 for the great deal and your time.

Did multiple things to Rammy yesterday. Yes im about to picture *****!

Had to redo the exhaust with my uncles help to move it away from the mudflaps. However I seem to be losing a ton of mpg. Im not sure if its this exhuast setup causing it, or the mudflaps themselves.




Added these god awful plastic rubber swinging things. Saw the same officer that pulled me over for not having these flapping rubber bands today. I just smiled and waved back.






Added some power ports for the inside.



Also picked up this new license plate holder to match the truck. Im not getting paid to advertise for the dealer. Also had to make sure I didn't block "AZ" or cops would be riding my tail again.




Next mods,try to find out why my mpg took a hugh hit...

Those flaps are godawfulfugly.

I'm sorry for you. How short can you make them?

As for your MPG, you sure you just haven't been calculating it right?

Also, I got the valve stem replaced on the 76 today. WOOT! No more flat tire!

I cringe each time I look at my truck. The mudflaps cannot be higher than 8 inches off the ground according to the sheriff. Mine are currently at 5 inches and rub all over hugh speed bumps. Ive actaully never calculated my mpg before,this would be a good time to start though.

In Arizona mudflaps are required on any vehicle that has any modified suspension or tires past fender wells. Im not sure if this applies to SUV or Suburbans. I got away with it for a year but now recently im seeing my fellow lifted trucks getting pulled over left and right.

It's all about revenue for the town/state obviously. Besides, we need a few more laws in the most free country in the world.

Then cut 2 inches off.



Going to storm here soon, my primer is uncovered. Can I leave it and put paint on it anyway or do I have to sand it down and reprime again?
