new tires and exhaust progress

Tires are mounted and they are super nice! They're a bit square but I'll have to deal with that until I get bigger wheels up front

The 2.5in 2x muffler exhaust is going well too, it's practically all done. I just need to paint it and finish making the end pipe. It isn't anywhere as quiet as I had hoped, but it'll do. First time making an exhaust alone and it just took forever; I spent so much time on it. I tried to make it as close to the body as possible so there are some weird bends in there. I used 2 magnaflow xl3's, two 2.5in U bends, 5ft of 2.5in, and random metal for the brackets. Made everything from the downpipe back

All hard mounted along with the hockey puck motor mounts and solid trans/diff mounts.

I made a mount out of bed frame, little did I know that this was tempered steel and it destroyed 3 drill bits
