I am curious too. I am gonna try to run the angled back and down. I will know more tomorrow once the welder is cooking.

 

Yea post pics once you get it welded together. I'm interested to see what it looks like when all said and done

 

lookin good.

 

Looks awesome. i like the factory fill location. I may have to try that next time i take the box off.

 

Well i am finally done.... It took longer because i had to tie up a lot of looses ends (wires, vent lines, fuel lines, etc)... Basically i did everything i could so the i would not have to take the bed off again until the 4-link starts going together and that is a ways off... Also i pressure tested the cell, and i had a little leak at the fuel sending unit, so I had to tighten it up some, also one of the vent line AN fittings was a little loose (my buddy put that one on...)

The exhaust sounds freaking awesome.. it is whisper quiet at 60mph, it gets throaty as **** when your going WOT, and flat out screams at 6500rpm!!! It talks a little bit at idle, but if i had a bigger cam you would really be able to hear it...

I have the tips pointing down at an angle, basically pointing right at the tire, which thinking back that was a bad idea so i gotta fix it...

OH part of the 1 hour long ordeal after everything was back together and getting ready for the first drive... Apparently i had a screw going through the rear wiring harness. It was shorting out the wire to the fuel pump, which was popping the PCM B fuse... Once we found that everything was all good.


OH and taking the factory fuel lines and EVAP lines out in 1 piece was SUCH A PIA!!!!!

Below are the pics!

 

BTW, removing all those crossmembers, now i have SO MUCH ROOM under the truck!!!

 

Looks good. Can't wait to hear it!

 

Need to go get some new times with these changes...

 

Do you have any better pics of that upper shock crossmember? Specifically about how you attached it to the frame?

 

Looks good. Any sounds clips?
