Old rusty exhaust, leaking around the inlet. Resonates in the cab, fairly loud.

replaced with flowmaster 40, sounds much better

Can I recommend welding that up on the pipe. It will be much better than the clap is.

 

[crawlin91]

well I would think anything would be better than the "clap" lol.... yea its kindof a ghetto rig with the clamp on there for now. Didnt want to spend a whole lot of cash on the exhaust for now so I can get the lift done. I will get it welded and do a complete exhaust setup eventually.

Nice tires!

 

[engdept]

NICE!

What size did you wind up getting?

 

[crawlin91]

33 15.50 15 On a set of used 15x8 unique black rims with 3.75 backspacing. Got the wheels off c-list for a mere $150 for 5 of them!! Should be perfect.

Holy cow! Be prepared for doing some cutting on those fenders and for the tires to rub like crazy on your radius arms.

 

[crawlin91]

Nice tires, so when are you going to lift this thing?

that is the million dollar question. Gears and lockers arent cheap and working two jobs doesnt leave much spare time. But honestly I would say a few more weeks and it should be on there

 

[motohead771]

figured 12.50.. thats what mine are. It will Look really nice. What type of tires are those Mickey Tompsons? my FC-II's are due for replacement in the summer. Im looking at tires with more agressive tred. Like yours.

 

[crawlin91]

they are the mtz. I was going to go with the cooper stt but got a great deal and a $100 rebate from Mickey Thompson

 

[motohead771]
