Soon as I bundle up to go outside here in a bit I'll measure it up for you. You want the measurement from the rear side of the toolbox? And the same spot to the front axle C/L?

Good pics.....maybe next Christmas we can do a Toys for Tots run or something similar, or visit the VA nursing home in Norman and spend some time with some our Nations true heroes during the holidays (actually its not too late to do that).

I had a blast, my wife enjoyed it too! You guys are a great group of guys, really made us feel like family. James did an outstanding job on getting this together. Thanks for the patients while I fixed my brakes, they worked great the remainder of the day. I'm sure glad Warthog lived nearby...

Alright no wise cracks tomorrow about my red window frame.....I broke my drivers window today:evil:.....the only window I had to replace it has a red frame.

We're going to have 4 trucks in our southern convoy.....at least that I know of.

Also....if anyone wants to join a us for breakfast, we're going to meet at IHOP (I-240&Sante Fe) at 0730. Plenty of parking in the Lowes parking lot.

Just got the batteries installed, so you guys are off the hook for pull starting me tomorrow:driver:

When I picked up my 818 the throttle would hang up also, but it kinda fixed itself by the time I got it off base, hevent had a problem with it again.

Bringing this one back from the past.....but thought I'd add that I've used the Dupont Flat polyurthane on my jeep and it looks nice. Since its a hardened polyurethane its basically CARC. Its not ultra flat but I wouldn't say its semigloss, its has a slight shean.

one more caution..... IF you do utilize the flange, MAKE SURE the panels are clamped tight together, any gap between them when you weld will cause some problem welding and finishing....hard to explain on here, just trust me and make sure its clamped up with zero gap. Also this is kinda a...

It can be done either way, since its an exterior panel you will still need to stitch weld it completely, usually if I'm doing a large long panel like a quarter panel I will flange it help keep warping to a minimum and allow for less weld material to finish off. BUT normall I'll flange my OEM...

DANG! anyone else notice the front duals!

I kinda thought the same thing....I can always put a resonator on it if I wanted too. Not sure what to say about the chrome stacks though.....not my taste.

See thats whats wacky.....my 818 is just the oposite, its fairly quiet, way quieter than a deuce. I can talk to the passenger if need be and my muffler is even rusted out some in the bottom.

That is true!

LOL.....I think I would be completely happy with that truck if it had a different tranny, a Roadranger would be nice. My biggest beef is the RPM drop between gears, kinda sucks when your pulling a load up hill from a standing start at the base of a hill. I guess while on the subject.....has...

Not only does it sound good, but it runs like a scalded ass ape too. 05 2500 2wd auto tranny with straight pipe with AEM intake, BullyDog Power Pup with Crazy Larry download, needless to say it would boil the hides off of it from a rolling start! Not much could hang with it, stupid fast.

So did your EGT drop any? I didn't figure it would gain any performance, I mostly wanted to know if it hurt it any with no back pressure from a muffler or turbo?

Everyones definition of loud is different......have any of you owned a Dodge 24V 5.9 cummins that was straight piped? I do and it sounds great (ofcourse it dumped at the rear of the truck....LOL), people outside hold their ears when I throw the coal to it though!

Yep, I bet that stock muffler isn't cheap if it can even be found, I don't want to put an external muffler on it since i want the original appearance to stay unchanged. Gosh I can't believe you guys thought I was a kid trying to "bling" my truck.......:doh:
