Happy birthday!

 

No excuses to not boost after that..haha

 

Hey thanks man!

 

Well isn't that handy

 

What about no extra fun money? Especially 5k worth... I need new tires soon, and maybe gearz too.

Really loving the headers the more miles I get on them. They make all the right noises and powers!

Got up on fairfield hill today which is a rocky ass trail with some low low 1st gear crawling and noticed a nice improvement in how the truck just keeps moving in low first instead of dying like before. I still killed it but because my passenger front was trying to climb a huge rock i couldnt see in a rocky section.

 

So is it indeed impossible to run these URD spec headers with the TC Tower Gussets?

 

He doesnt have the tower gussets

 

Yup don't have tower gussets. Would be tough with the gussets in there to tighten everything if the headers even fit.

 

Sounds like my kinda road.

Gears and tires will be very nice. But boost after!

 

Yeah I know. Just curious about it especially since he installed them himself.

 

Thank you sir

 

Diggin the exhaust. That's a cool little set of dunes there!

 

Thanks, yea its a nice area for sure. Lots of fun to just drive around on. Gas goes fast driving out there haha. Sand is a power hungry surface for sure.

In other news my header on the passenger side is rubbing pretty good on the coil bucket. Not sure if I need to be really worried about doing damage beyond what is happening go the header pipe? @Torspd I'll get a pic later. I don't want to jack up a head stud... The contact is pretty solid under flex it looks like :angry:

We both need these.

 

I knew that was really the only solution but didn't want to hear it lol. Moar vibes!!! Much race car... So that gb ended and nobody got mounts? Also depending on fitment that could move the header closer to the coil bucket which is no bueno...it shouldn't buuuut

 

Well thanks to @Bonzen I've got some solid motor mounts in the works. I knew the rule of change one thing and three others need changing would apply when I put the headers on. Its kind of a bummer, but i'm excited to have the motor solid mounted. Seeing how solidly the header on the passenger side is contacting the coil bucket i cant believe how much the motor is moving It's literally got to be just flopping around in there during a good romp. Gonna have to take it easy till the new mounts go on... Thanks @Torspd for linking me to the mounts!

 

Gonna have to make new tranny mounts too now..there's your third thing haha

 

...four

 

Four?

Headers-engine mounts-tranny mount...or did i miss something???

But yea, you'll want to do something to the tranny mount. It looks like the new mounts are poly bushing? Will want some a bit stiffer for the tranny too. Although it may be fine stock.

 

Was planning to leave the trans mounts alone for now...

Four because three to fix the muffler back portion of my exhaust piping. It's limiting power big time with how many kink bends are in it and its small pipe.
