"Wheeler's Anonymous"

I would have used something like bailing wire. Melting plastic smells like shit. I agree with everyone else though, there's Cannon Muffler here in La Habra that would bend you up some new hangers for almost nothing.

Mine is dumped before but I have a straight through "race" muffler. When I had my Flowmaster it was in the same spot, present, but not overwhelming at all. But my tastes may be a bit... more tolerant.

If it makes you feel any better a simple radio turn up fixes it easily? Although with the Blackwidow muffler around 75-85mph conversation can be a bit difficult with the in-cab sound.

I wouldn't worry about that. It's so hot it'll burn off any water and push it out pretty easy. If you're really concerned you'd need an all stainless steel exhaust from the cat(s) back. Remember: (healthy) catalytic converter by-products are CO2 and H2O.

I've gone through some good water crossings with no issues so far. If in doubt I just keep my foot on the accelerator even lightly so there's some extra push.

If the 3rd gens are like the 2nd's there's two little arms that hang down from the tire carrier under the bed that will get in the way first: cut those off if you're worried about where the muffler/exhaust goes.

Lastly, no one mentioned the possibility of damaging the exhaust when it runs out the back! @eon_blue

 

Great point!

I guess out the back becomes a possible clearance issue. Hmm... Maybe I'll have it dump after all.

 

You've see some of the puddles I go through. You know I'm not really worried

 

Be prepared for that exhaust to find its way a bit louder inside!

 

Loud exhaust is better than quiet exhaust imo. I hate how quiet and wimpy the exhaust in the Tundra sounds

 

Damn this is a lot further than I thought, mine as well go to Hungry Valley

 

Where is it? I can't find it on my maps app

Definitely agree. Which is exactly why I went with my Blackwidow Race Venom!

I'd say if you were camping at Hungry Valley it's a great offshoot on the way out? It's a cool trail even for a day trip. If you like climbing shit, huge views, and a fairly relaxing drive? It's pretty cool.

 

Hungry valley will be another time, maybe next

 

Maybe a Hungry Valley/Miller Jeep run the following week?

 

Yeah, that's a distance lol

 

I can set something up for July for larger group.

 

I'd be down for that, maybe a weekend or an over night trip

 

I can help
The earlier I can get plans set the better a chance of work letting me have the days off

 

What do you guys think of Gorman? For a future meet. Not too much further than Rowher, I haven't done it yet myself. Looks like fun from the pics I've seen

 

Since there is a lot if people subd to this thread it's easier to keep this going.
Will set it up for 2nd or 3rd weekend of July

 

It costs a few bucks but has a bunch of areas available for camping. I've been there once but it's quite large & would take a few days to cover every inch. Also a decent variety in difficulty on trails

 

Gorman is cool lots of dirt bikers though and some cross traffic on busy days.
It can venture back far and id like to do that havent yet. Just done the main stuff

 

My vote's on 3rd
