Thought you might like this
Definitely got a lot of cool going on with it. I’d change a thing or 3 but she looks clean overall. Definitely like the LS swap going on. Been tossing around the idea of picking up an LS and building it for either the Burb or dually. Since I don’t need it I could take my time with it :shrug: at this point, just ideas I’m thinking about. No idea if I’ll do anything with the idea or not lol

Your truck is way cleaner than that one. An LS swap would put it over the top. :)

A few things have been done over the last few weeks but nothing visible without crawling underneath. One of the big projects I wanted to complete this winter was to undercoat the bottom of it with POR15 in order to keep the rust away and protect all the things underneath her since she's been kept so clean for so long. While under there, I replaced the 20+ yr old bags, new shocks and a new black widow muffler for some added rumble. Went with a Black Widow Venom 250 which isn't loud but does provide a good tone at idle and cruising speed.

Anyhoot, on to the pics. Then on to the next things on the list...

Pic right after getting the old bag out on the driver side. Passenger side looked pretty similar.

Looking good with try bags and POR 15. Bet that rumble sounds good.
Very happy with the results of this project for sure. That muffler is the same one that is in your '13 burb so the sound is familiar. Not loud sound but enough rumble for the ears to enjoy it :D

The old bags were holding up but as you'd imagine being over 20 years old (I think they were installed in 2001) it was just a matter of time before their time expired and I'd prefer to pre-emptive in their replacement so this was the perfect time LOL This project was rather time consuming. Luckily the wife was understanding and let me take up "her" parking space in the garage to get this thing up on jack stands for a while and just pick at it as time allowed which was good for someone who never gets large chunks of time but can get an hour here and there :)

Yes I know the rumble all too well. And in a good manner. I think the wife likes it too, even if I have to listen to her on Bluetooth as she runs through the gears around town with it warbling in the background lol

Good to have it out of service and available at will to work on. Nice. Getting ready for summer cruising for sure.
