well i got the truck home. Ive drivin it a good bit on the road. ive got some stuff i need to do before driving it too much.

1. needs to be aligned
2. brake pads need to be changed
3. need to lower the PSI in the tires down to 15 PSI or so. 30 PSI is too much
4. Need to change the exhaust, its causing me to run extremely rich. i can smell feul in the air.
5. Shifter lever has some play in it, needs to be fixed
6. Need a bigger master cylinder
7. Fab up a steering stabalizer
8. clean it, shes dirty

truck looks great but i agree ^^^ i have never been a fan of the single in the middle. it just doesnt look right to me. i think the duals look meaner. if i were having a single pipe it would come out under the bed to the side. IMO those are the only 2 options for diesel exhaust. but it is your truck and to each his own. either way, that truck is insane. congrats on getting it done man!

u know now that you mention it^^^...a single offset wouldnt look too bad i guess. i am trying to picture it and it might look pretty cool. im still not liking the idea of it being it in the middle though.

Pics are kind of hard to tell what it would look like. The only single stack that I've liked is one on a jeep with a cummins in it. Stack was straight up through the hood. It was pretty mean looking.

Maybe a different angle would show it better. Trucks looks awesome either way though. It just swallows those 40s.

true on all the opinions, i still like duals the best...but when i think about an offset stack, that sounds kind of cool, and also more unique...def. dont see those alot around here at least...your truck though, do what you want!

lol guys the bed is just too small for dual stacks, put two up there and it just looked clustered with the two 5", plus id have to move the gas tank. the stack is actually gonna be offset to the passanger side. not sure if i have another picture of it at a different angle. i really didnt take many. but i can slide my bed back tomorrow and slide it back on the bracket for a quick picture.

Anyways i made some gap gaurds for the rear, nothing for the front yet still thinking about that one.

im gonna do a write up and how to. ill post pictures of that.

that sounds good...passenger offset. i understand what your saying about it being too clustered with dual. definetly cant wait to see that diesel in it with smoke comin out the stack on that truck. gonna be even more insane than it is right now. lol
