    After having to travel all around town trying to find a store that had a half inch breaker bar and sockets to fit that were 6 post, not 12 post (didn’t want to strip the exhaust bolts). I was able to bust through 5 years of Minnesota rust on the exhaust bolts. Once I got through that, it took only about 20 minutes to install the @dirtydeeds 10” exhaust with 15 minutes of it being me wrestling with the rubber hangers.

    All I can say is wow, really opens up the exhaust. Butt dyno reads that the throttle is more responsive. Could hear some drone in the truck, so we’ll have to see what the wife thinks before I install the resonator. If it was just me, I’d leave it as is.

    @2020Platinum your YouTube video helped a ton, you gained a subscriber for that detailed video.

    Even if the wife isn't super thrilled with it, see if she'll let you have a few hundred miles to break it in. It seemed to lighten up on mine after some miles were racked up.

    Had to drill out some rivets on the dealer installed tray. Glad I did, much cleaner.

    Climb To Glory. This was the original "patch" for the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), The Pando Commandos, my current unit, but the Department of Defense didn't think that it was tough enough so it was changed to what it is today.

    Well not it's even cooler! Thank you for your service. Pandas may look cuddly, but they are F***ING BEARS! I don't ever want to make one angry.

    I'd like to think that if the tie rods are completely straight vertical, there's no way for the axel to droop down, only up. By rotating like I did, I now have room for the axel to go both up and down.

    Added some Nilight 42 watt led back up lights today. Had these on my Tacoma and loved them!!! Hooked them up through a relay ( with a 6 amp diode) to isolate the reverse circuit from the ignition circuit I have run to a switch to turn them on whenever I need them. This should be the first mod everyone should do to their truck. Fantastic for hooking up trailers or anything else you do at night that’s a pain to do in the dark.
