damn everyones going to have huge trucks but me-hahaha
msall i wanted that muffler-hahaha o well guess ill just have to pay for one now
this trip is sounding sicker and sicker, my buddy im bringing is totaly psyched about it now too after i showed him the trucks that are coming and some of the trails. im going to try to get my buddy with a stock wrangler to come just to have some more people to come

 

Ya, I can't wait to see them myself. Mercedes, they are 17's. here's a pic, it was taken about 1 month ago. It's all i got right now.

Damn Big. They look in very decent shape. How many miles you think you put on them since that pic? and $200 ay ? I don't think I can pass that up. I'll find something for em !

Madmax: I'll sell you that Flowmaster !

Na, I'm kidding man. If you really want it, its yours. (and msal is still willing to pawn it off) I at least have a buddy who owns a muffler shop, i'll have no problem getting a discount.

Alright, the zuk is now sitting 1" taller ! But a chit load more flex on her ! Got those missing links put on. They are a "double shackle" type deal, giving it PLENTY of droop. Have them both front and rear. I'll get a pic. and sawzall time comes saturday/sunday !

 

madmax, just a little peice of advice: dont put flows on a v6, they dont sound very good, trust me.

I think your best option is a dynomax, you can get one off summit racing for like 40 bucks, then have a shop weld it in for cheap. you could do the whole thing for like 80-100 bucks easily. i think it will sound a lot better than a flowmaster on your truck.

But if you want it that bad you can have it.

 

I didn't know anything about the v6. Either way, definately bring it mSal... one of us will take it off your hands for ya !

Here's the little beast *update*

 

VERY nice. That thing has got to be a blast out on the trails/rocks. What engine does it have?

 

It defintely is a blast. Flying around, not having to worry about it makes it that much more fun. I'm sure a couple of us will end up taking for a spin.

the engine ?? its a MONSTER 1.3 L :o

 

ive done a whole lot of research on exhaust for my truck cause i dont like most of the exhausts in the upper rpm range cause it sounds like a 6. there are a few options that dont sound too bad from what ive heard-flow 40 or 50, small magnaflow, and imco extreme. im not sure how it'll sound its just too good of an option for me or james to pass up,thats all.

mt-looking foward to seeing pics of this thing getting built up and thrashing it at raines.

msall-hows the new exhaust coming? did the shop get your truck in today?

 

Definately getting more and more stoked. Can't wait to thrash that little zuk !
I'll keep the pics coming once I start the SPOA (tomorrow)

 

Well now im pissed.

I go into the shop today, we put it on the lift, and the guy takes one quick look under and says "i cant do it." and i'm like wtf its a simple muffler swap. He goes "you have 3 inch midpipe from your Y to your muffler..." and i go yeah i do...so what. He says "i cant bend 3" pipe, only have 2.5" dremels" or whatever.

what the *******, what kinda exhaust shop cant bend 3" pipes?? such BS. Now i have to wait until monday or teusday when i get home from school to have my guy there do it. seriously what the *******!?

I need a beer.

 

Damn buddy... that really does suck. Gotta hate those half *** shops who pose as a real legit place. Sorry ta hear it man. Put in a dip/smoke , drink a bunch of beer, and you'll forget about it in no time !

 

No more than 500 miles. Ya i'd be glad to bring them up for ya. I have a buddy with a jeep that will most likely be coming too. This should be a lot of fun

 

Thanks big. That'd be awesome if you can haul those up with you. I may have found some 17's for the Sami...

Torn: Completely hypothetical: Is there a tire shop near by that Starbucks meeting place. Wondering if I will be able to meet with Big, then get to a shop who could mount the 35" tires on some rims for me. Otherwise I'm going to be running some 31" muds... Just wondering if its a posibility.


I just got another buddy with a samurai saying he might. If he goes, he'll bring his friends, one of which I know drives a pretty sweet Jeep Scrambler. We'll see. Once it gets closer we can try a "roll call" to get an idea of how many are going.

 

Good call. I still have to run it by all my buddies.

 

yah cause we got a ton of people going now.
