Welcome to the Official SoCal BS/ Shenanigans, Tundras and What’s Happening Thread

Oh ya your good

 

where would the meet up be. I would be coming from San Diego

 

Angelus oaks, it's literally 1 restaurant lol. That's near the beginning of the trail

 

Got ya Will let you know Friday atvthe latest If I can go

 

@MadMaxCanon damn, wife just booked my Saturday without checking with me...

 

Been there.....

 

maybe a day trip to anza borrego on sunday. btw gas is stupid... $6.20 at costco yesterday. 2weeks ago it was $5.39 before Holcomb valley

 

Even my 16 gal Crosstrek is $100 to fill again... absurd.

 

Yeah its been going up....I filled up for 5.70 saturday before heading out, but thats with a .30 cent per gallon discount and at Sinclair. All other stations in my area were 6.50+

 

We used to play for moose, now we are in yorba linda.

 

Got ya.. the jr ducks that play in the old grocery store north of the train tracks. Are the boards still loose and pucks and sticks get under the doors?

 

Jr. Ducks are in Anaheim... we are OC Hockey Club. lol But yes that is the location! lol

 

thanks for the correction "OC" in yorba... we were both Jr Gulls and SDIA Oilers

 

Oh yeah, San Diego teams!!! right on!!

 

How close is to close for a spare tire next to the exhaust?!

 

Cut the exhaust?.?.?.

 

I vote you definitely don’t cut the exhaust! If you do, you’ll risk melting a bunch of stuff… brake lines, for example. I’d suggest you run it like that, get it to full performance temperature, then shut off the truck, get underneath immediately, and check it out. You may not want to try putting your fingers between the pipe and the tire, but you should be able to touch the tire very near the pipe. Is it ridiculously hot? If it is… hot enough you think it could alter the tire, then you’ll need to reroute the pipe or move the tire. Picture though, tires don’t just melt… they can handle some pretty high temps.

 

I was thinking of going to an exhaust shop near the house and seeing how much it would cost to have the exhaust dump shortly after the muffler. Idk if that is a good or bad solution. I thought about cutting it but idk if I like what else it might cook. Pretty much what @Sunnier said.

 

Do you like a loud exhaust? Cut off the muffler and have them put turn downs after the cats. Problem solved

 

Yeah, don’t just cut it. Maybe cut it and add a weld-on downturn. We did mine, to fit a cantilever for long-travel. Luckily, I noticed it damaging the brake lines before it was too late. Added a down turn, all is well.

 

Per dirty deeds when I had them install their exhaust, 1 finger width of space is enough

 

Nice
Keith Installed out at his place.

 

Wasn't Keith himself but I did meet him for a few minutes when I was heading out, super nice guy.

 

very true great guy

 

So that hanger counts as a finger or a finger width from the hanger?

 

Just cut it where it turns down.

 

@HAMi do you have a pic, from farther back? Could you cut it as Joon suggested, or would that not work for you.

If the tire doesn’t feel ridiculously hot after running the truck, it’s probably fine as is. That said, if you can go off-roading with Joon, he’ll help you move or get rid of that pipe altogether.

 

A finger width from whatever is actually hot

 

Checking in and leaving this pic here as a teaser

 

Wait a minute……… new truck? Or a wrap? LT?
