Yeah if I keep it I'm sure I will be doing way more than I say now just like I did with the blazer! My buddy is already trying to convince me to SFA it lol.

Tajohns I'll know Monday or Tuesday if I can get another set of wheels for you.

 

Got the gas tank from ups nice and early this am and had the truck up and running about 45 minutes later. It runs prefect now that it is getting steady fuel! After driving around the parking lot and a short trip to the gas station I felt it was ready for a solid road test so I drive it about 50 miles without a hiccup... Well there was one minor hiccup lol can you spot what's missing?


Yup about 4 miles from the shop it got louder and then I looked in the rearview to see the muffler bouncing down the road behind me lol! I knew it was going to need exhaust just didn't figure it would be this soon. So I jumped online and looked for some exhaust and ended up with a Dynomax full stainless cat back system that should be here in a day or two. Later on I'll probably add headers and a new y pipe with high flow cat so this will easily adapt to that and at $130.56 shipped to my door for the full kit I couldn't really do any better! Gotta love online discount codes!

 

I love online discount codes.

 

They save me so much money! I should be able to have another set of wheels and tires possibly by the end of next week if your still interested. Shoot me a pm if you'd like.

 

PM sent.

 

Well it's been a minute since I updated and not allot of fun things have happened but I did get the new gas tank in and new exhaust installed and it's running about as perfect as you can ask for! I took it in for safety and emissions inspections so I could register it and everything passed without issue. The emissions are tested at the tail pipe and it actually tells you a bit about how clean your motor is running and this thing is clean!




So it's registered insured and doing DD duty for now. I have about 500 miles I it and except for an unbalanced tire that I had my buddy take care of tonight it hasn't had a single hiccup(knock on wood)!

 

I'm thinking you need a wicked big rack on the roof!

 

Oh great. Rex is starting another "small" build. Here comes another 1000+ page thread about all the neat ideas and great deals that eventually turn it into a freaking monster truck. Check back in a year and the thing will be 18' tall with an elevator installed so that his wife and kids can still get in. You'll see Rex rolling down the highway sucking Prius' into the engine to use as fuel so he can call it a hybrid.

The truck looks good Rex. It sucks about the Yukon, but hopefully it works out well for you in the end.

 

I lol'd because its true.

 

Well not a lot has happened lately but I've made a few things happen! The burban has been running without a single issue for almost 3k miles now and it is time to show it a little love. The hood was dented and the paint was crap so I've been searching around for a factory replacement but people seem to think they are made of gold around here wanting $200 plus for them! I found a aftermarket hood that I have been watching since I bought the burban and the price started at $275 but has been slowly coming down over the last month or so and today I went and picked it up for a $100!! Its in primer ready to paint so I am going to see what it is going to cost to paint it to match my truck and go from there on how I proceed with paint.
