Re: Frankentruck

With the rear end back together, I started driving it some more.

I replaced the rear shocks after over a year of driving it. The front shocks were replaced when the disc brake kit was installed.

I also finally got around to attempting to install my new Venom 250. I cut off the old Sears muffler that was too quiet, and had a dime sized hole, so it needed to be replaced. I ended up not being able to replace the muffler myself, so I took it to an exhaust shop that had some pretty neat wall art.

The Black Widow Exhaust Venom 250 is stainless steel. It sounds great when I floor it, but just cruising at speed, there is no drone at all. It improved the sound of the truck ten fold.
