    Why are you doing a turn out? I cut mine right after the rear axle (where it turns down) after I smashed my tailpipe on RTS. Never have to worry about that again and my safety check friends said its legal....

    The first time it was stock application...this second time I dont like how the muffler was on sideways so my friend put it laying flat up against the cab but closer forward then the last time. I wanted to side exit it, but my friend talked me into putting a two foot section on so it can dump by the rear axle(we didnt get to that point tho).
    Now I dont need to worry about it and i'll have to go buy a new flange and have something else made. Or go buy something off CL.

    I like the tone of side exits and was gonna exit it right before the rear spring hanger...kind of tucked right there. I know its supposed to go after the passenger cab but i dont care.

    Depends on the girl...some like corny stuff, some hate having stuff that reminds em of home, some dont care as long as you put some thought into it. Get to know her a lil better. Get a taste of what she likes.
    I like alcohol and most girls I meet I like to enjoy it with them. Girls from different countries, I like to buss a bottle of some local stuff, then try something from where they're from(even if I gotta buy it). Girls are always different though.....

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Hey Big Islanders, I have a curiosity question that will neither cure cancer nor solve world peace; its just me having to know. Anyways, i was down in Polula Valley last week and while hiking the hills right off the beach I came across the remains of some type of heavy machinery.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about or what it is? There is not much left but it is either the tracks/wheels of a dozer or back hoe of sorts... or what I would like to believe is a tank. I figure the tank is far fetched, but you never know.

    I can posts pictures later if necessary. Let me know if anyone has a clue what I'm talking about, I know most of you don't live on that side of the island.

    The military tried using the valley as a camp during the war...so they opened up the valley, brought in the machinery, then found out it was too swampy. The machines couldnt make it out of the valley.
    Thats what I heard but maybe google it. Its definitely some track vehicle though.

    Im sure he was talking about Pololu Valley. It's a very interesting place and when you walk into the back, it's pretty clear. There's a lot of house sites in there and a waterfall in the back, with no above ground river. It's pretty marshy in there from the cattle, but when the military cleared it out, im sure that didnt help.
    The track vehicle thing got me interested and last night was shitty, so I googled it myself and found this article.

    Reading some peoples blogs are pretty funny too.
