Ok everyone...
Polls are showing that the next meetup will be in North Texas, probably at Lake Grapevine. Now we need a date!

 

I think that's a smart choice. I won't do exhaust because it's a waste just to make some noise with no power to back it up.

I chopped mine when I lifted to dump right after the axel. Didn't change the sound really any and now there's no risk of the tip smashing my quarter panel when offroading.

 

A day that I don't work so that I can attend and do some mountain biking!

 

That is a mod that i need to do, I need to get my exhaust re routed and i need to chop off after the axle...

 

Well what weekend do you have off so that we can put it up on the polls??!!

 

It's easy and quick to chop. I'll get the reroute done whenever I get the $$$ for skids.

 

Ummm for June... the only day I have off would be the 25th if we are talking weekends...

 

I think that sunday will work well for another member on here also. I can not think who at the moment but i know someone else wants a sunday.

Also... you are saying that you will not have another weekend day off for a month????

 

Lets do Northshore. We could all meet at Rockledge or something. They have some grills there. Its opposite the side of the lake im on but then we would be right at the trail head.

 

Yeah i am down for that also. The trail head has a pretty large parking area.

 

I think it was @Naveronski.

I'm more or less free all weekend though I'm thinking about going crazy with OT again for truck parts and guns!

 

can you get a pic or 2 of yours?

 

I switched shift with two people so I am working one of the weekend shifts for 4 weeks starting on the 28th and ending the 24th.

Essentially I work Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 1am then I work Wed and Friday the first two weeks from 11am-8pm and then Wed and Thursday the last two weeks from 11a-8pm.

It makes me a lot of extra money as I can get all the OT I want, shift dif pay, weekend pay, etc. So more money for truck parts and such.

 

Im good for the 25th. Ill be gone to Hawaii the 10th-19th.

 

and no fumes getting the cab for you or anything?

 

Not that I can tell. I tried to cut off the least amount possible and it basically just turns to the side right there anyway.

 

Mine is done the same way... was super simple to cut with a sawzall.

No fumes or really any change in tone, but I like that it cleans up the rear body line and I don't have to worry about it getting crushed on the trails.

I want to cut it again before the axle and have a turn down there instead of having it go over the axle.

 

I guess I have a mod to do this weekend then. I have my buddies angle grinder for something else....time to
