Interesting. Why the funky exhaust? Shock hoops or something?

 

[63chevyll]

Yup, just that one header tube on drivers side. My shock brace Jews just a skoach in the way.

Any other headers would have fit fine

Exhaust done finally

 

[63chevyll]

Filled the hole where the spare tire was decided to keep it a little cubby.

Looks good dude. You gonna come to eagle rock this next saturday the 23rd? I think there are a couple of us that want to hit that run for Memorial day weekend

 

[63chevyll]

I have some things up in the air outa my control. If i can i will. The burb is ready for once

 

[63chevyll]

And....i cant make the eagle rock trip
Bummer. But what can i do.

 

[63chevyll]

Well after driving for a while its good to get some street miles on it.
Finaly went through a full tank of fuel.

On the way home was able to play in the mud for a while with the kids.
Pretty happy to see how it does as a dialy driver then blast off road

Nice man!

I've thought about filling the hole in my floor. Or maybe cutting it out and making it square. The round shape makes it hard to use effectively.

you got mud in CO?
I like the spare tire cubicle!

 

[63chevyll]

The round hole was a pain. I cut out some cardboard and made a template. Got it pretty close and welded it in. Then still had one gap..ahhgg.


Yeah its been raining here for a month. Crazy, but most rain since the 1930s.

Thanks guys...and oh yeah, i went out again yesterday. Figured might was well have fun in the mud while its here.

Well with all this rain we have been having i seem to have found a leaky rear window. All kinds of water coming into the back.

Time to start looking for a Blazer to cut up

August update.
Just picked up some decent used tires today.
These IROKs have great traction but damn. A heavy BB suburban on these soft tires and street driving isnt good on them

 

[63chevyll]

This isnt an offical For Sale posting, but would anyone be interested in some real good 3/4 trad 39.5 x 13.5 x 17 IROKs..

My rear two tires are in great shape. Thinking bout selling them

 

[muddysub]

What did you get?

 

[kgblazerfive]

I need some newer street tires

 

[63chevyll]

40 inch MTRs.

And i cant post pictures. Sorry.

I found another set of 39 inch BFGs local
