NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

removed as the CBI rear comes with a new support bracket

 

oh that's the front....let me check

 

No that's the rear. I just removed it cause I made my own fender supports that seem to work well haha

Thanks Bob

 

Short bed doesn't need the front one after trimming.

 

used some muscles and made it fit

 

How is Kayla anyways?

 

Hey Nyco. What are those flat red and white tanks you've got mounted on your pack rack? I'm assuming fuel and water, but who makes them?
Thanks

^this

right now I have 5 fuel, 2 water and a 5gal jerry can if I really need to push myself.

but these past trips I ran 2 on each side with the jerry can for 13 gal spare. with kayla's 2 jerry cans we have 23 spare gal when we roll. on our maze trip we ran it down close. but typically don't need that much.

 

I want to do the MAZE!!!!!!

 

small upgrade...had some issues with running my fridge and lights running at night without seeing a big drop in my voltage...through some discussions, thought was there might be some gains to see from upgrading my wiring...so i picked up a couple rolls of 1/0 cable to hopefully help out the system..

while i was in there, i also consolidated my aux fuse block into one 12 fuse blue sea and moved it to the passenger side...

just tested the setup by turning on all of my lights at idle, and there was no voltage drop...time will tell...

i also have to still upgrade my alternator and ground cables...






i still have to connect my ARB lines to my compressor and hook up the switch before i am officially locked...but i'm waiting to see how the supercharger install goes and whether or not i have to relocate my Viair at all. i knew the aux block had to go, but i'm hoping the compressor can remain in that location...

 

Bob are the batteries the same age?

 

nope....i forget if i swapped the old one as my aux or if the main is the older one....i'd have to check the dates...but one is older

 

Gonna be hard to keep the compressor there. The inter cooler reservoir goes in that area.

 

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Going to be a tight squeeze if it does stay.

 

yea i knew the aux fuse block had to go...the compressor is only held in by 3 bolts and disconnect the wiring bracket...so i'll see how far back it can sit and hopefully maneuver it around the reservoir and hoses...the aux block relocation was the big project tho...took nearly two days fighting the random storms passing overhead....damn i need a garage...

 

Could the older battery be struggling and thus the drop?
