    I take of my skids too everytime I change the oil, and I have budbuilts. I only take off one skid, but it's still like 40lbs. A lot easier going in from underneath than it is from the wheelwell IMO.

    You have to remove the mirror and after you do that it should just pop right out.

    Hmm thanks for the advice guys! Though don't have access to weld it back on unless I go back to the place that installed it. Just curious, what's the point of dumping the exhaust before the axle? IF I went with this, I wouldn't have to worry about the tip.

    I did it so it doesn't get effed up on the rocks and I don't have to worry about it getting in the way of axle while flexing. I think some do it for sound... something about it resonating differently underneath the truck/pointing at the ground. :notsure:

    Just don't dump it too close to the axle. It may or may not melt the ABS wiring. :anonymous:
