The Supracharged King Ranch Bundle of Merriment Build

We're waiting on the hail damage for the truck, taking care of the house first and had 3 cars outside and 2 in the garage so the truck didn't have much of a choice
And no I'm not on Instagram but you're welcome to post it!

 

Ah bummer man. I hope it gets made right. At least yours in better condition than mine though! And sweet. I'm itching to post yours. Haha.

 

Thanks for the condolences haha. I have some big mods coming up for sure by the time summer starts, the trucks gonna be on a whole nother level

 

Awesome! I follow your build pretty closely so I'll be waiting!

 

Are these the most updated shots of your truck (before the hail)

 

Yeah post 96 on page 5 is pretty much the last I did to it.

 

A little fun in the sun

Yes, I made it

Snorkel sold separately

 

Not about that life huh?

 

Shit was deeper than it looked man haha!

 

There's a perfect secluded canyon on the other side of this rain pit, but this is the only way to it another day...

 

Awesome looking build! Love the hummer wheels.

 

Thanks man, like I said I got 2 big mods that should be done by the time summer comes up.

 

I have a feeling if you snooped around enough you'd have an idea what those two are haha

What's up with the name change moose?

 

guess I'll have to put on some tunes and browse around and catch up!

ehh.. it was time for a change. the truck never had a name or persona.. and finally nailed down a direction I want to take the truck.. so.. it seemed fitting. lol

 

Ok so I'm going to make a sad attempt at decoding your new name - expo-Toyota-prerunner ?
It's funny cause believe or not I just started listening to deftones, and man it's like melodic crack.

 

But you don't have a prerunner... I'm at a loss.

 

lol.. close!

and yes dude.. zone OUT to some Deftones!

nice catch. lol

Back in July 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 thus leaving 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. There's a nut on the rear that is a sucker to get off without grinding down a 10mm wrench to 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 and spec clean.

Working on the nose cone became a different story; you must keep a socket on each side when completing the new bearing swap. 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 it does not fall back out as you push the shaft with the 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 threading 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!

 

Supercharger install! I have a new hate for slower traffic.
