Thanks. I'm happy with the way it's turning out.
New tires and wheels are gonna have to wait. This build has cost a lot more than i planned.

Yep, always turns out that way!

Not sure if I'll be able to make it to Slade or not. Have the steering rack out putting in some upgrade parts but haven't had time to finish it. Apparently the gremlins visited our house recently and caused havoc....upstairs shower drain started leaking so had to cut out the ceiling to fix it and then patch the ceiling, dishwasher quit so fixing it, icemaker in fridge quit so fixed it, and now the garbage disposal started leaking so that is next on the list. Almost forget that the steering cylinder on the lawn tractor went out and had to fix that also. Too cheap to pay people to come in and fix these things because that takes away money from the toys.......

For the exhaust I bought a few mandrel bent 2.5" fittings from Summit Racing.
I had to cross over to the passenger side to keep the heat away from the tcase and fuel lines on the driver side. I used a u pipe to make a y pipe and ran 2 into 1 down the passenger side. All in all it wasn't too bad to do. I did have to buy a set of aftermarket manifolds so the driver pipe didn't exit on my link bar. I used a band clamp so I can separate it in 2 pieces for easy removal from the rig.

After putting the new windshield in, it was time to finish the front exo. I didn't want to add the bar that most people run across the cowl above the wipers that supports the roof, so I went a different route.
I ran a tube under the hood from fender to fender that supports the the fender exo and the roof support. Just has to notch the fender and hood a bit. Also ties the cross bar to the shock hoop cross bar.
I used tube bungs so I could remove it if I need to. I am still able to remove the fenders and grill with the exo in place.

Here is the almost finished product. I still have to make tube doors, install lights, and a skid plate.

Tried the new rig out at Slade. It did great and no major issues. I made a mistake in thinking all pcm's will utilize the 4 low shift tables. Just because they are showing in the tune, doesn't mean the pcm reads them. So when I switched rigs, I did away with the drive by wire and went to drive by cable. My old pcm would not work, so I used one from a 2003 Express van. After spending $100 on HP tuners credits, I found out that it wouldn't shift in low range. So now I have to find a 4x4 pcm that had drive by cable and spend another $100 in credits. Live and learn I guess...

Didn't take long to knock the new off of it.
