DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Went and got tags today. Took it for a quick rip up the street. I had not ever driven this truck as I bought it blown up. I appear to have some non engine swap related things judging by all the dash lights. So far no CEL though. This MBRP exhuast is obscenely loud. Not a fan. https://photos.smugmug....

Bummer. I signed up to help marshall/sweep and was not prepared in the slightest for this weekend so while it sucks to be delayed it gives me time to get my shit together at least

V-bands came in so cut apart the headers/cats and welded them back together.

All the studs screwed right out though so I think that makes the job easier. https://photos.smugmug.com/Frontier/i-8mh4JNZ/0/5953fc3a/L/20220922_171514-L.jpg Settled in its new hom...

Oh the crane hits the cowl? Just keep cranking it up, it'll self clearance :lol2: https://photos.smug...

She out grew her boots so she was riding in rain boots. She crashed and the bike fell on her and banged her foot up a bit. Tried to convince her to at least ride back to the truck but she wasn't having it and got a 4 wheeler ride. She was walking on it the next day but was content to not ride any m...

We didn't get there until 3 ish on Saturday so only the kid ended up turning some laps on the kids loop near the pavilion. She out grew her boots so she was riding in rain boots.
