Sliders, new exhaust routing, rear bumper and corner guards, then paint at some point after I scratch the hell out of it. Not much wheeling up here so will be wheeled maybe 2-3x per year. Not gonna go crazy
 
What is the best exhaust routing for the tailpipe to reduce the blowback into the back window but still have some wheeling clearance? Guessing just behind the rear tire but figured I'd ask.

Scheduling 2x4 sliders with FoxFab in Rhode Island. He does good stuff.

Looks like now I won't have it for about a week from today. Soon Ralph, soon.
 
Congrats!!! Piggies are pretty neat trucks and there certainly aren't that many in the northeast.
 
I had a feeling someone would jump on it before me so I didn't wait long.

pretty much no good place. behind the rear tire is better than out the back, but you still get blow back when rear window is open.
 
Either way that side pipe exit has to go. Can picture my kid getting burned on it getting into the truck.
 
I'll likely start a new thread when it gets here. Not sure it'll be very interesting but I like documenting things as I go. Not planning on selling it anytime soon btu if I do then I have pics of what was done, timelines, etc.

I'll try to make it interesting. I do have a couple odd things planned for it.
 
can anyone post a pic of what the dash looks like especially all the knob controls etc? I think one is missing on mine so gonna get one made to replace it. Little stuff like that drives me crazy.

Thanks in advance
 
not pretty, but here's a couple of a 73 dash

So are you ditching the spring over since it is illegal in your state? Looks like a nice pig. I would put the exhaust out the side and turn it down a bit as it will help the blow in. Also, don't forget to bring it to the East coast pig run in August.
 
I read through the laws and apparently there is a mathematical formula to determine max lift requirements. SOA specifically isn't illegal apparently as it is basically max 4" total lift over stock height (lift and tire size combined for the total 4") This has spring over on the front and spring under on the rear.

Either way I did some digging and found a Toyota specialist who is very lenient on the inspection regs as long as it's within the height requirements.

Checking with my state police friend again.
 
Went to get my Pathfinder inspected and my mechanic guy said he'll pass anything old as long as the lights and brakes work. He said any other violation type stuff like tires, lift, bumper etc he'll just deny if the state ever comes back to him after citing me for it. he'll say it was all done after the inspectiopn which is fine by me.

That is soooper cool!
 
Pig arrived today!

It's not idling well and I believe it's the timing. Fixing that tomorrow

Truck has AC!!! The PO said it didn't! Nice.....;p

36x14.5 TSL Swampers, rear locker, oem rust, 4 wheel discs, nice interior

Rust is in some body panels but not too bad. Disappointed on the condition of the rubber gaskets for the glass and doors.

Overall very happy!!

Yeah, rides a bit harsh on both ends. Don't think the right springs are on there
