My brother is running the Patagonias and loves them. Amazing grip on the Colorado trails last weekend. Plus $186 for a 35 is legit.

Thank you good sir, all I am missing now is a 5.29 gears and @eimkeith 's rear bumper. Then the little creature comforts, though nothing really comes to mind.

Haven’t done much lately to the rig but anticipate @eimkeith rear bumper.
I did purchase a “complete” 1st gen trd blower and when it arrived it wasn’t what i was told.
The pulley was missing, and the nose cone shaft didn’t have a woodruff key, so there was no way for a pulley to actually turn the damn shaft. Called up Gadget from URD to confirm that there weren’t superchargers without the woodruff key(ridge) and he confirmed it. Sending it back and picking up my buddies blower next week.

That's a real bummer! At least you were able to return it and get what you needed elsewhere.

I agree, its funny, my buddy reached out to me the day after I sent payment for this blower and was like yo I'm selling my blower... I would've rather bought from him cause I know it has been rebuilt and running on his truck vs someones word that its been rebuilt and just hasn't been installed.

I thought it would be a good and stupid idea to get a supercharger. Here goes nothing. Install happening on Saturday.
That paint just added 10 more ponies. Down the rabbit hole you go. Looking forward to the finished product.

I hated the tan so much that in the beginning I didn’t even bother looking at the 1st gen blower.
Little update. 1st gen vs 2nd gen.

Went on a camping trip, about 250 miles round trip. The supercharger is damn nice in the hills and trying to get up to speed on 35s. Can't wait to get some proper fuel management to avoid all pinging. I also fixed the 1st gen supercharger hose routing diagram. See attached.

Placed my order for the mapecu3 piggyback, pillarmount dual gauge pod thing, and a boost gauge. Stoked to get it installed and tuned.
Also got these sweet Oem style decals that include the carb stuff and whatnot. I’m in commiefornia so it’s a must.
Question tho, take a look at my tranny kick down kickcable going over the blower, see the metal stopper, it’s supposed to be inside the black rubber sleeve but i don’t have enough cable, or am I not looking in the right place,?

Gauges are in, getting about 5-6 pounds of boost at WOT, it’s what I expected with the stock throttle body limiting air flow. Just need to weld the wideband bung into exhaust and AFRs will be giving me an actual reading.

Welp, front drivers side bearing decided to kick the bucket on the way home from camping. It got so bad near home that when braking the pedal would travel in and out because of how unstable the hub had become.
Going to refresh the bushings in the LCA, UCA, and change out UBJ. Current LBJs have 10k on em. Oh and welding on spindle gussets. My body wasn't ready to shell out $500 today.

Explain this shelling of money from body. I have been trying to pull money out of my ass for years to no avail.

Must come from swallowing quarters as a child. Shit in a hole and now you have a money tree?

Wait, are y'all saying you haven't shat in a hole and out came a money tree?
