After a full day of work, we thought it was time to ride in style. We thought wrong, as the 18-inch KMC Diesel wheel boxes were filled with 17-inch wheels. This is a big problem when you have 18-inch tires ready for mounting. After an exhausting search to track down 17-inch tires for the shoot, we ran into our second problem.

We didn't have the MagnaFlow exhaust at the time of the suspension install, but once we did have it, a short drive to CarrTech Muffler, reachable at (949) 951-6143, in Mission Viejo, California, completed the Fantastic Four treatment. Once there, Chris removed the factory exhaust in one piece, by removing the two bolts from the head pipe and popping the hangars free.
