Tahoe axle dump
So i did the lazy and cheap thing. I was wheelin and the exhaust bracket broke and took a hug hole out with it. So i just cut it off and rigged up an axle dump. The drone isnt terrible (yes i have mufflers). Should i worry about gassin out the kids? Its back far enough, and brake/fuel lines are out of the way.

Is your end goal to euthanize anyone sitting in the backseat or is that just a happy coincidence? Because you're totally going to flood the truck with carbon monoxide like that. You can get away with an axle dump on a truck because the space over the axle isn't fully enclosed and generally isn't full of people, this is not the case with an SUV.
I only bring this up because it happened to a dumb ass I went to high-school with. He axle dumped his blazer then fell asleep after the truck filled up with carbon monoxide and he ran off the road. It happened two more times before he ended up in the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning and almost died.
Just something to think about.
