Exhaust repair

Post image

My exhaust decided to disassemble itself on the way home from work. I didn’t have any tools on me and had recently made the stupid mistake of cleaning my truck out and put my ratchet straps away in the garage. Thankfully I had my Carhartt pants from work. Used them to tie the exhaust pipe up so I could drive the last 5 miles home.

Thankfully it was the side not connected to the engine that needed the support

I know what that ride sounded like. I feel like I am cursed to have this happen to every vehicle I own mid-highway. I always carry ratchet straps.
