It has rollbar and suction cup mounts for different angles. They take really nice video for the price ($225 on amazon)

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
WOW!! Look at all those awesome toys and that is one heck of a shop!!
Are you routing the exhaust under the trailing arm crossmember? If so, any concerns about it catching speed bumps, driveway curbs, etc? I'm installing a 4/6 drop and have the magnaflow kit ready to install as well but I'm contemplating selling it since I have an aftermarket trailing arm crossmember with cutouts for the exhaust and I don't think I can route the prebent magnaflow that way.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
Looks like yeller will be coming home any day....
The magnaflw exhaust has been on for a while. They dynoed the truck with the exhaust and it made 11rwhp more than the true dual glass packs. I imagine I will gain another 10-15 to the wheels with the long tubes. Hard to rush good free work in the same time frame as Power Tour 2012. The did take some very nice shots of my truck and I think they might use it for some sales ads.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
I have been pretty busy with a new toy.
I have always been a fan of the 2dr/2x4 Tahoes so when a buddy of mine called me and said it was time for his to head down the road I had to jump on it after a little negotiation Its a 1998 with 124K miles. The truck has been well cared for and he is the original owner. Interior is new and it has a belltech 4/6 kit with rear helper bags.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
First order of business was replacing the junk 14 y/o factory radio/speakers.
I tore the whole truck apart and fat matted the back half and the front doors. I had planned to do the whole thing but the carpet kit was glued down and I wasnt about to ruin fresh carpet. After that was done I made a small purchase from amazon for speakers and used the alpine PDX amp and HU I had lying around.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
Well Yeller made it home from Magnaflow.
I don't have the dyno graphs but I believe it made an extra 20-30 to the wheels with the full exhaust and Hooker Long tubes. Whats crazy is there is almost zero cab noise with the new set up. The dual 2.5" X pipe set up made a crazy difference. Its deep and smooth as can be with a nice sound out the back but no more annoying true dual sound or interior droning. I then lowered the rear another 1/2 inch using custom blocks and installed the CPP performance front and rear sway bars this weekend. Truck looks perfect at this drop and the sway bars made a big difference around corners from what I have felt so far. I need to detail her this weekend for the upccoming Brothers show

I would say as long as your mufflers are under the bed you will be golden. Some people will probably thing its too quiet. I like a nice sound but don't want loud or raspy. I will try and get some pics and video this weekend. The mufflers are under the bed and the pipes go over the axel and exit after the rear wheels out the side. You can't really see anything unless you look under (I don't like big tips sticking out from the body)

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
Cole,
Great build thread and nice truck. Can you tell me what factors led to you deciding to stick with 6 lug rather than switching to 5 lug? I need to make this decision this week, and don't really know the pros/cons other than the obvious. Thanks, Jon |

Most guys run 5 lug as there are more wheel choices and I believe the swap might be a tad cheaper. I knew I was going to run custom wheels so I had no fitment issues. For me it was a personal choice. Truck came 6 lug so I wanted it to stay that way to pay tribute to its heritage. Take a look at Ece and cop....they both make quality products Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
cole, I read some highlights of the build (I got here from the GJ forum) did the truck make the move with you? you will need to find time to break out the" deadbolt" and do some crawlin'... now you are in a state that has some good terrain.. if you still have the truck snap a pic with the youngster next to it & see the difference... if able?
take care! rodstored-72 (plain2car) |
