Exhaust routing

Looks a little shy of exiting from under the truck

Just an observation

I wouldn't suggest adding tabs from the box sides to the sliders. That's how my Colorado was and the frame and body flex ripped a nice chunk of bedside out.

I'm putting a fan in the bedside, it'll suck the exhaust out.

Was your bed tied in any other way? I figure if my bed floor is tied into the slider it wouldn't have much if any pressure on the bedside.

I want to do the same thing to my exhaust when I do the blazer tank swap, curious if you get exhaust into the cab.

I'd be surprised if I did.

It has a bed cage that's tied to the frame in the rear and a body box mount in the front, but no the slider wasn't attached any other way.

I probably won't worry about it for now, if the bed sides bang around I can tie them into the bed floor.

Also got the 40" spare mounted on an extra H2 rim I have.

Here ya go @bent72

I'll trim the tail pipe so it's shaped like the bedside after I get a trim ring.

In the words of Forrest Gumps drill sergeant. "Private Skunked your a god d@mn genius". "Now disassemble your truck and continue".

Looks good man. Once this is done, you're going to be famous.

 

[skunked]

Thank you and I doubt that.

I just want to get out on the trail locked in 4 low, it's been far too long.

I'm going to be doing the same rock sliders, but I always envisioned mine sticking out a little further, say with a 2x6 instead. Are you happy with how far out they stick?

yeah it's about what I envisioned but I may add a piece of tube later, notched for a step. Even if they were out another couple inches it won't protect the side of the truck in most scenarios right?

Well, I know of 2 situations where a 2x6 might have helped the damage. Not prevented it, but much less damage. That's what made me think of the 2x6.

I've see it used on some builds.

Been trying to decide whether or not to paint them white or black, leaning toward white so they blend in.

I got a spare section of 2x6, I guess I'll try some fitment and see what it looks like.

You able to see what yours looks like with the doors on?
