Well, the MazdaBishi had been down for a bit... It had developed a profuse oil leak... Because I had not made enough clearance in the oil pan around the front differential, and after 7000 miles it had made contact one too many times.
So
I undid my lower crossmembers that hold the front diff and dropped it .75". And undid motor mounts to lift the motor up 2" so I could beat some clearance into the pan and braze up the hole(plus the one I made making clearance). Got my oil leak sealed up. Decided to finally do some exhaust, as my wife says she can hear me from the Time I leave my folks driveway a half mile away(I've been running straight pipe that dumps under the cab).
2 1\8 tubing is nigh unto impossible to find. So I went up to 2 1\4. Got a glasspack, an elbow, a hanger, and a tailpipe extender. Looks funny (so do I...) But it sounds good. Still plenty loud but it took the sharpness off the exhaust note. Got my tool boxes installed and my graphics on too. Time for work!
