Stuff hanging below truck

okay, I know this sounds stupid, but I absolutely fucking hate looking at the stuff that hangs down below the entire frame on my 3rd gen right below the shifter. It’s visible from across any parking lot and if it’s not too much hassle, I’d very much like to get rid of it. So what exactly is it, and how much of a PITA is it to get rid of ? There’s a picture attached here somewhere

 

One of those is the exhaust pipe, just saying

 

I’m pretty sure your transfer case and your exhaust, neither of which you “need”

 

Armor up,
Cover up with skid plates

 

Lol, i knew I’d catch shit for this thread. That’s fine. Just didn’t know exactly what I was looking at. Was hoping the answer would be something like “oh just buy the TRD catback exhaust and it goes away!” Which would give me an excuse to spend money.

Oh well

 

Exhaust reroute.

 

My friend, you got off easy.

 

Run and open header exhaust, 2wd conversion and the metal bars can be unbolted. They're just there to protect the cats you won't have after running open headers.

 

The TRD exhaust isn’t going to do anything. Like others here have said you can reroute the exhaust and cover up the tcase.

 

the exhaust pipe is re-routable and that's recommended for performance or clearance. the other is a cross member that you can remove if you like. or do like @JaCado and armor up.

EDIT: and by the way you can get that exhaust re routed for pretty cheap. some for around $100.

you mean the Y pipe with rear cat removal. there are no headers on this truck.

 

Oh really? So how does the exhaust get out of the combustion chamber?

 

headers is a specific term, but you already know that. not arguing, sorry.

 

This Thread has potential! and it is not even Friday yet!

 

Ummm yes both headers connect to the Y pipe...

 

Exhaust manifolds

 

My preferred method for removing things from the truck.

 

I was fully expecting to see this when I clicked on the thread.
