    It’s been on my mind but hate to take away from the look at all. They also sell a black chain cover but I bought chrome chains so…

    For now I really laid on the paint in that area. This matte black from SPEEDOKOTE flowed so smoothly! The easiest I’ve ever sprayed, you literally can’t hose it up!

    I was also thinking of using a clear hose and heating it up to take shape? I actually do plan to use the truck as a truck (carefully), the same way I did for the Marauder. My vehicles must help work off some of the dept LOL.

    Over the years the marauder hauled lawnmowers, it’s current engine from Zacks garage to mine, dirt, mulch, actually just about everything home and car related, even been known to joust with trim boards out the passenger window! Always overly careful but yes they are working queens.

    Bob I was thinking about your chain last nite. I wonder if there is some sort of clip out there that would allow you to snap the chain in place to hold. Maybe at HD or Lowes, Grainger maybe. Keep it tight till needed.

    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    How about using a mate black car wrap material behind the chains?

    Hey David! Yeah I wasn’t gonna rush into anything but this literally fell into my lap so what’s a guy to do?? Hope all is well Bud and hope she’s treating you good!

    Side note, a WHOPPING $17.81/month for $30,000 agreed value from State Farm! Same 100/300 policy and the same $0 deductible that I’ve always carried on my cars. WOW! I thought the Marauder was fairly cheap at $45?? And NO agreed value..

    Yea, you definitely couldn't pass that up! Things are going well and she still hasn't skipped a beat. That sounds like a steal! Definitely not paying $17.81/month for the Marauder. Lol

    Keep an eye on the alt. If it has any flex you may need to add another turnbuckle 90deg to the existing turnbuckle. Looks nice!

    New 3” exhaust. Nothing fancy, not even my normal stainless. 2 box’s of Amazon builder kit and 2 cheap Dynamax muffs.

    I did take the time to at least cut the leaky 2 1/2” 3 bolt completely angled just wrong flanges off the block huggers and weld on 3” V bands this time exiting straight down and looking right at the oil pan.

    All in $352 and it ended up with one of the most amazing sounds I could ask for! Just a nice deep and choppy idle and zero raspy on the revs. It seems I can never decide on the right exhaust and I finally caught a break..

    Looks great Bob. Since you opted for the non stainless route the piping will eventually start to rust. I wonder if painting it with some hi-temp paint would stave off the rust fairies. I think you can get silver hi-temp paint or go wild and go blue or red.

    Thanks Eric! The more I thought about going stainless on something that will never see moisture it just seemed like wasteful spending? I’m in so deep on what was supposed to be a simple budget build I felt it was time to start cutting some corners in places that don’t really matter.

    Besides I could use the gas money at $6.99 for 93 and averaging 7MPG so far.. Really not much different than the Marauder but a buck a mile is just nuts!

    I’ve already spent more on this turd than what I sold the Marauder for and still have a complete interior, front and rear suspension, new big wheels/tires, and hopefully some big brakes! Oh well, that’s adult toys for ya!
