Hey beastie, sarge is my older brother deployed right now, he'll be coming home to Tenn, but we live out in Northern CA, so we're basically on a nation wide 3+3 4x4 search... lol

Exhaust Time! with our dad having over 30 years experience in the pipe fitting trade, this is where it gets good around our place, new hooker headers on then followed by a dual 3" system to a pair of 70 series 3 chamber flowmasters. This past Saturday we got the header to muffler sections mocked up, tailpipes next then weld everything solid.

..Oh and in case you were wondering, that is Stainless; 316L pharmaceutical grade.  This exhaust system is probably worth more than any around,   ;D

picked up body components from the paint shop this last weekend.  They got the old paint code from dads original glove box sticker.   This first phase is solid 'burnt orange', and after we assemble, we'll take it back so they can do the white stripe down the the sides.. 



seriously what a pain to carefully load all components for the short trip home, me and bro used both our rigs and both of our utility trailers..
