Here's a good cheap source of mandrel bends:

Or you could always buy a Flowmaster truck universal truck tailpipe kit. It comes with a few mandrel bends and some pipe, cut to fit.

Thanks man, I wish I could just use my JD2 to bend it...just don't have the dye for it.
Would be funny if I could, I would see if I could bend the whole thing after the down pipes with one piece of tube. ;p
If youve just bought 33s I guess the 6 inch lift is out
Man that thing would be cool with 6inch lift and 37s

Yeah....it sure would.
There is already a two inch lift on there just by knocking off a 1000 pounds from the 80 series...
But I already have a trail rig. If I dint have to DD it so far I would be game. If a diesel ever makes it way in there I may move up in tire size to a 35/37. It just doesn't make much sense to have the same tires as my trail rig at the moment. When I graduate this January and hopefully get a better job with some better cash flow it might just get lifted...
Til then I am gonna try to be practical
Looks like a diesel swap might be in your'e future
That came out fantastic. That will be one hell of a driver.
Keep it up! I wish i could be working on my s***.

Woohooo...
Tires got here today....
Took 5 days to get here from Cali....freee shipping turned out to be 484 for a set of 4
Gotta love pizza cutters (33 by 9.5)
Anywho...got some more work done. Started in on the exhaust....Super stoked, I found out that the stock size exhaust tubing fits in my tubing bender. Which means I am going to bend up a nice new exhaust system.
This weekend I will prob just spend removing the wheels and cleaning them up, Hopefully I will be able to find a tire shop tomorrow to mount and balance the new treads. The weather suppose to be crappy, I dont mind working in light rain but if it gets to bad I might not even get the tires on.
But....if ever thing works out well hopefully I will have some pictures of the new shoes on the fj68 tomorrow night..
Til then...

Heres a not so great picture...
Ill grab some better ones this week.
I cleaned up the rims a bit when I got them mounted...I really dig the look of it. Worth the money even though it was on my credit card and will take a bit to pay them off.
