Stocker doing work on the trails, pre lift.


Then came the lift, still had the ol' MS2s on 265/75s


The derp bug hit me; Don't derp things you intend on color matching!


One of my favorite mods, the H3s

And of course the synergy spacers beforehand


This is my truck vs a wandering shopping cart LOL

That thing was empty going downhill and picked up some gnarly speed

Got her pdr-ed (Paintless Dent Removal) a week later. And another $180 later...good as new


The most comfiest and luxurious mod to date. "Traded in" the interior for a king ranch edition




Interior shot, w/ wheelskin install


Low beams

Roof light bar


Guess I fell out of chronological order up to here, forgot the trip to Houston to meet up with Jon (Bluepearlshark) to get my s/c!




Got around to fixing the light bar vibration noise with some edge trim. A 1 minute job.


Got a Viper alarm installed and loving the 2 way remote! No remote start.


Hitting the trails again.


Supercharger install!












Some miscellaneous shots:
Replacing the old weatherstripping a while back


Sliders have saved my ass from 2 trees, and a few boulders


Blue skies


Avid yak hauler

OP is a dick.

I'm your bae.

 

Also WOOOOHOOOOOO build thread time!

I like the H3 wheels.

 

Supercharger rebuild

Back in July (2016) I finally got to fully rebuilding the supercharger myself, after many trials and errors I got it done and had the satisfaction of completion.

Here I opened up the nose cone to the smell of rotten bananas and gym sweat

My first manner of fucking up was exploding a bearing. I forgot to keep the spring under the bearing when pressing it out which left the inner bore attached to the nose shaft.



Here I get the intake piece off and you can see the state in which the needle bearings are in. A 10mm wrench needs to be grinded and modified in order to reach a nut in the back of the s/c. This is the only way to detach the housing and access the needle bearings.



Pressing the needle bearings in and out was a breeze thankfully, not much to it.

I made sure every inch of surface for new gasket was scraped clean and was very careful in keeping the rotors pristine.

Working on the nose cone became a different story; you must keep a socket on each end of the shaft when swapping in the new bearings. The bearing that goes in the front of the nose cone, where the pulley is installed, must be kept pushed in as you are pressing from the back so that it does not fall back out as you push the shaft with the new rear bearing in.

Here comes fuck up #2 as I didn't take note of how deep the socket was in order to clear the cone shaft as it was being pushed in (giggity)

Therefore surgery must be done to carefully remove the stuck socket trying not to fuck with the splines on the shaft.

After all bearings and new nose seal installed it was all downhill from here. I promise the surface never looked so clean since it was new.

And done!

Injector. Because $350 is easier to blow later.

Lookin sick man, got a 42" curved bar in route to my house! Can't wait to put it on

 

I'm liking the leather, did the kit come with the door panels or did you do that yourself?

 

No, it came with the kit. It all ended up looking better than I thought it would. Thanks

 

It's not very long yet, but I always enjoy reading through your build thread. Who did the leather for you?
