Austin's Supercharged Mid Travel Build

I’m fairly certain @Blackdawg wanted to see this kit actually welded up.. maybe you were more interested in the shocks that one guy was using/ maybe you already saw this... i dunno.

 

I'm watching Jace do his install currently. He is cycling the packs this weekend for it.

 

@Mike's Custom Toys finished up the Total Chaos shock relocation.

 

Got a chance to take the truck out for a test drive. Out boarding the shocks has greatly decreases the amount of body roll the truck had. The shocks have a good road feel, maybe a little on the stiff side, but that makes it handle well. Off road they're also a little on the stiff side at speeds below 45 mph, but they may just need to break in. If they don't soften up as they break in, I will likely have them revalved for slower speeds. The tires do rub slightly at full stuff, but that can be easily fixed by a u bolt flip, and extending the bump stops about a half inch or so. Overall I'm happy with how it all came out, just need to fix the little issues.

Specs on wheel width and backspace? Tire size? Any wheel spacers?

Looks good man. Thanks for the tag. Looking forward to future reviews.

 

Sweet dude! Plus one on the ? above re specs on wheels, etc.

 

and sub!

Loving the hot water shower system. Gives me a good idea of what to do when I delete ABS. Couple questions, to supply water, you just let it dunk into a jerry right? What coolant line are you tapping in the bay to heat it?

Also not a question but an idea, not sure if they sell hose caps but might be a good idea to run them since it's on the front end? Really digging your rig man, you've got my gears turning.

 

Nice truck, I've seen you a couple times. Are you the kid who used to have the red Frontier with the Methods?

 

Thanks RogueTRD, I've seen you around as well. Your truck is very nice! Yeah that frontier was mine.

 

Thanks! You should come wheel with us sometime!

 

@rngr @quetzal Wheels are 16'' method NV's, 8'' wide, and 4.5'' back spacing. Tires are 285/75/r16. Running 1.25'' spacers just on the back right now, but getting the same spacers for the front on Friday.

 

I'd love to. I was thinking it would be fun to get a group together to go snow wheeling soon.

 

We are going Thursday evening, wanna go? We'll getcha into some shit. lol

 

Yeah I can probably make it. Where are you guys wheeling?

 

Up 140 somewhere. I'll pm you with details.

 

Sounds good! Thanks for the invite.

 

Cool. I really want to do this to my truck too. I'm kinda surprised that you didn't take this opportunity to install some frame reinforcement plates? Or maybe you can't with the shock relocation kit

 

Went out and played in the snow with a local group of Toyota enthusiasts last night.

 

Had some 1.25'' wheel spacers installed front and back this morning. Really like the added stability they provide.
