    Roll painting a CUCV

    Since I could say we didn't start off on a good note :P, I figured it was time to redeem myself. After I fix my rockers, and get few body blemishes worked out I was planning on repainting my cucv as the current paint is pretty faded (looks good in the rain). I was reading about people having...

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    223k of pure torture and she's still kicking. Used to have a frame but one to many jumps and it broke in half. Ran 5/8 grade 5's through the header of the bed, through the back of the cab and now she's a unibody. Still gets the job done! Now back to topic

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    They were there for viewing pleasure haha! That's at my house, not at the farm

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    I respect everybody's opinion, don't get me wrong. Question here, what muffler makes the 6.2 sound deep, like a diesel, as opposed to the crackly gasser sound it makes straight piped. And just to clarify, not saying farms = stacks, that's just how it is where I farm at. That's what i'm used too...

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    I don't see how this whole discussion came about. Now I don't mean this in a mean way, nor do I tend to be bashfull, but how on earth did a big stack debate start? #1 its my truck...I shall do as I please. #2 I bet 90% of you on this forum will ever in your life see my truck. I drive it 5 miles...

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    Thanks marcus! And thanks everybody else as well. I dont want to seem like a wannabe, stacks bother me just as much as they bother you. I enjoy my truck being an ex service vehicle, and i do plan on restoring it that way, not hacking it up. I just want my exhaust to be up and away. I"m not...

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    all i'm asking is what muffler sounds good on a 6.2!

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    its not stacked just yet. I have my pipes plumbed to the bed, but no physical "stacks" on...just pieces that stick through the bed floor about 3 inches high. Right now its straight piped, and sounds like a gasser. Its much too loud for my taste, so I'm looking to buy mufflers. If I buy mufflers...

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    On a side note, i'm using short (about 38" on each side) 2" pipe, wich will be painted flat black. I'm not going with the stereotypical dual 8" exhast stacks that are a good 45" high

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    reason #1 I park in hay fields, and even though its un-likely (but I've seen it happen before) I don't like the idea of the exits pointing into a dry pile of raked hay. #2 I did a true dual setup, and i'm alone most of the time, so I like to keep an eye on what my exhaust's doing. Bank 1 seems...

    What muffler will make the 6.2 sound like a diesel

    Started constructing my stacks (don't bash me...I have good reasons behind it), cut the pipes off right behind the muffler so right now its straight piped. It would sound good if it was a gas V8, but its a diesel, so that crackely gasser sound isn't what I'm going for...and its so loud I cant...

    Glow plug STOCK wiring

    Tried downloading a TM but it made my computer freeze :( When I bought my cucv the glow plugs didn't work, and the P/O used ether to start the truck, wich I've done as well, but that will hopefully stop as soon as possible. What I want to do is wire the glow plugs STOCK so I get a wait light...

    First time here, from south jersey!

    So surprised to see so many people close by...in the Toyota hobby I was a loaner out here haha, everybody was from the west coast! Anyway, I think I might've found my truck, going to look at it sunday, and hopefully bring it home. My plans are to restore it and keep it nice, yet wheel it on the...

    First time here, from south jersey!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! I'm looking everywhere to find a darn cucv...I remember years ago searching and I could find them a dime a dozen all over the internet. What the heck happened?! HAHA...well anyway, i'll keep looking, i'm trying to find one as soon as possible. And i'm sure...
