My Bermuda Blue Hoe

[Jlaughtr]

Took my stock hood and put it on cl. Sold it for $100. Did you cut the mesh off the stock hd grill? How are you gonna reattach it.
BTW--Could you post some bbq festival pics. I loves me some bbq.

I stuck my OEM hood in my shed. I actually remounted it when I had the hood repainted after some defects occurred. BBQ....

BBQ Fest starts tomorrow and goes through Saturday. 4 days of smoking bbq and drinking on the banks of the Mississippi. Will def post some pics!

Go back to post #74 on my thread and check the link to @05Single thread I posted. It goes right to the page where he cut his HD Grille. Check out post #552 it’s has the grille broken down into the pieces

Ok, saw it. Hopefully it won't rain this weekend and I can check it out.

First look! Didn’t have time to cut the grille down so picking it up Thursday! Now just have to wash the truck so everything is clean like the hood

So I am now in South Georgia for some training for 3 months. Significantly slows down modding when all my stuff is in storage and I'm staying in barracks. On the to do list while I'm here will be:

1. Level out
2. Exhaust
3. New Headlights and Taillights
4. New stereo

 

[Jlaughtr]

As far as leveling out, I bought some Ebay keys. Do y'all think I should go ahead and get new rear Z-71 springs since mine are 12 years old? Figured I get the keys, Bilstein 5100s, new rear springs, and coil spring spacers to lift and level.

Thoughts?

Still trying to figure out an exhaust I want. I know I want dual out at an angle behind the rear tires. I've read a bunch about what some other guys here are using, but can't decide. I want a good aggressive tone but with limited interior drone. Of course I already have drone from my tires so a double drone would be terrible I think.

I have used the Flowmaster 70 series mufflers before in other cars, no drone, but not sure one is made for a truck with dual exits. Because of that, when the time comes to do mine, I may just go with Magnaflow. No drone for this old man, though I would like the exits to be behind each tire.

Yea, Ive always liked the duals angled out behind the tires. Gonna have to do some research. Some of these mufflers others guys like don't have a single in/dual out option so not sure i want true duals.
