I thought he said something about one of those contraptions on the front that eats small cars struggling with a Yakima roof carrier and turns them into fuel.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I removed the last stock cross member today and welded in the new. Now I have to remove the rear suspension, and get welding holes up. Then it'll be on to boxing the frame and getting the 4 link brackets placed and welded on.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Yep, pretty much sums it up. Exhaust routing is going to be fun. The easy way would be a stack, but IDK if I really want to go that route at the moment.
It fits in there pretty nice. I need to get the frame boxed, set the bed on, and see how much room I don't have above the frame first.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
You dont have, pretty much any... the bedfloor supports are at the top of the frame. if you want to notch them you could have some room.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
You should go with the regular exhaust, I dont think a stack or dual stacks would look good on that truck. plus it will be cleaner for the truck an any trailer that you haul.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I like the gooseneck hitch. What did the top part you welded in come off of? I wouldn't worry about it breaking!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I guess no matter how big the truck ....... When it breaks you will eventually need a bigger truck to get it home !

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Thanks. It was a B&W from a 02 Dodge and I just unbolted the center section and junked the rest.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
maibe you could put the exaust outside the frame then you only have the drop under or over the frame to get there and a leafspring to go over and you might even not need to go over the frame if you exit through the front inner fender

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
straight up through the hood..................just kidding. don't do stacks, hideous in my opinion. could you just notch the lower parts of your cross members slightly to keep it tucked then dump either ahead of or behind the tire?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan is about to feel this pain.
looking at the rear axle. not much room from the side, not much room. there are not a lot of options, so i am thrilled to see what Mr. wrencher comes up with |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I wonder if you could come under the frame between the transmission cross member and the 4 link bracket and come back to right in front of the rear tire?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
With a lifted truck I doubt they would look very good. And might burn a leg trying to get into the truck if the person is very short.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
If i could make the side pipes step tubes as well, I'd do it. I won't have it in front of the rear tire.................. Been there done that. I'd rather have a stack. I think I have an idea on how to get it through there. But it might be a while before I get there. I still don't have my dom. I just got my stuff from Ballistic yesterday.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
