Reading the alignment part hits home! I leveled mine and haven't aligned it yet, I can for sure see the camber is off. I will try to get it aligned sometime soon as I dont daily mine atm, but I can see the edge of the tire rubbing more than with the proper alignment. I had no idea it would eat into the gas that bad though so I will report back with my findings.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked although my alignment was seriously wacked out! Have you driven enough to get a MPG estimate on it since the 5speed swap?

Also make sure you go somewhere that gives you an alignment paper, pretty sure the first place I went just set the toe and let it go.

Quarterly Sam's Club trip complete hauled 95gallons of water home and got 15.6mpg last tank of all city driving.

Also found a good use for the pesky old torsion bars and various pieces if lumber I had laying around. I have $20 in this Pull, situp and Dip station. Only thing I had to buy was the 6x6s which I got from my neighbors lumber yards scrap pile. They were originally a single 24' twisted and crooked poll that they couldn't sell so $20 and they were in the trailer.

I also did the sams club thing yesterday. I grab 3-40 packs of the deer Park when I go. Great mpg for 6.0!

Deer park?

Tried to chase down a squeak that's driving me nuts but failed and broke a zero off my moog LCA ball joints while I was at it.

Also manned up and hacked the over axle part of my exhaust off. Wanted to do some crossmember trimming before it goes to the exhaust shop in 2 weeks. Ended up only cucutting more of the spare tire mount but it gives it enough room to clear the 2010 ram 2500 4" but really necks down to 3.5" rear resonator I plan to run. The 4" axle back pipe I got fits great now even without trimming the body mount cross member so I think I'll leave that alone.

My god the drone now is awful! I think I'll drive the toyota until exhaust shop time, I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Here's some details on the Ram factory resonator, I was worried it would be super restrictive but its straight through! Necks down the 3.5 right where the pipe meets the case then it appears to open back up to 4" inside so I'm not worried about any power loss.

Super pumped to see and hear all this stuff cobbled together by a pro.

Aqua. Funny, you guys in Florida get the red label (can't remember the brand), yet they ship Florida water to TN. I'm a spring water kinda guy.

Haha never seen that before, I don't care what label is on the bottles $2.99 for 40 is a damn good price! I usually go through a case every 5 days or so.

idk how much this is. Maybe $1-2 more than purified. We power through the waters too

and to keep this on track, nice progress on the exhaust!
