I will be making my 3rd attemp to finishing this exhaust that came with no instructions tonite.
It's been weird I've never had problem putting on an exhaust sytem in my life. They claim it easily be bolted on and used.... it's not totally bolt on....[sm=icon_beat.gif] [sm=smiley21.gif]

 

lucky you- .. i purchased all new bolts, wiregrinded the rust, and sprayed the brackets with rust primer, i've got at least another coat to put on before i spray the rockguard on it.

the new bumper is just basically a blackOEM. but i figured it would give more of her twotone color. - afterwards it'll just be the front bumper that'll need replacing one day. but its still in faily good condition.

 

Just bought my truck about a month ago and have been loving it after a few problems right after the buy. Decided last night to rotate the tires. Surprise - after removing the front wheels I found the L/F caliper missing the upper bolt and being held on with wire. Real surprise was that the brakes were working fine. The upper bolt was broken off : was able to remove broken stub and re-tap the hole in the caliper bracket and was fine after putting back together. And I did actually get my tires rotated finally. I guess buying a used vehicle is just one surprise after another.

 

picked out some all terrains to go on it next week.

 

i got her on in the nick of time.. its starting to **** rain now. lightning and the whole works.

 

yah there never just "bolt on"

 

yah guess im lucky lol

i built a new one my self, had it pouder coated and put some checker plate alum. on it to break up the black abd put that on ther ill put up a pic tonight or tomorow so u can see and tell me what ya think

yours looks good btw

 

thanks, cant wait to see yours.

after i primed and sprayed the bracket with rockguard it was a pain to fit it back into the bumper.

 

I just got done painting the wheel wells and the cowl. Here's a tip for anyone who wants to do the same thing. I didn't think about it but your whell wells get oil all over inside of them so my suggestion to get the paint to stick is to sand it before you put it on.

 

So did you match the body color on the cowl or go black again?
