Um yeah you talk about slight alright. He's got the big v8. 40lbs or so for a spare isn't going to make enough difference to be worth it.

Truck looks good but I'd keep that spare. Suggestion: if you dump the exhaust after the muffler with a turn down, you wouldn't have that exhaust to deal with right up near your roll pan. That's actually what I meant when I said get a turn down earlier. It would sound a little better too. I think a muffler shop charged me maybe $20 to weld on a turn down for me.

His way May have been cheaper than that! Lol

I hope its a flex pipe but all I could think of soon as I saw it was what's with the drain line for turndowns.
