XPOTRPR build & BS

lol its all good. its just getting fixed anyways. no changes. good you sold it tho man!

 

talked to the shop.. check's been cut and they start on it tomorrow. shootin for end of next week or so.

 

truck is lookin good. paint looks great. all new headlights and fogs, etc. went in for an alignment today.. and they found out the driverside LCA is bent. so they are replacing that, then alignment, and should be good to go. hoping for early next week.

 

What shop is doing the work man?

 

Called Coyote auto repair. They are right across from Quintins shop, so have gotten to know the owner and other guys there. They do good work. Honest. Friendly. And the owner drives a 2nd gen. Lol

They have been working with me on the custom headlights, fogs, and grill. Going the extra mile to adjust the fenders on both sides, fixing my grill, etc.

 

hopefully picking up the truck today!

Do you think 456 gears are over geared for a super charger and 33s? Would 410s or 430s be better suited for daily driving?

 

I tell people if they are going to spend the time and money to re-gear.. dont waste it on such a small bump (4.10, 4.30). Yes, you will be SLIGHTLY overgeared with 4.56's.. but with added weight and potential future upgrades (going to 34's - about perfect.. or going to 35's - slightly undergeared) and weight add-ons.. you will be happy you have them. plus.. who doesnt like a little extra power. not much of a hit with mpg's.. but tbh.. I never really cared about it to begin with.

 

How high is the rpm at 70 though?

 

at 70... like 2200-2400

I cruise at 80.. and its around 2500-2700

 

Well.. while ordering parts for the Mini.. I decided to finally upgrade my current Pioneer double din with a newer Pioneer unit that now has wireless Android Auto. I've been wanting one for a long time now.. and this helped make the push. Now I can take the current headunit out and use it in the Minitruck and have 2 new setups. Might end up liking it enough to get another one for the mini too.

 

goodies. new headunit for the taco.. mini gets the current pioneer.

 

this thing is gonna see some action this weekend finally! first time in a while.. and first time after the fender bender. I'm sure I'll have some rubbing with the new bumper/fender. I trimmed them already, but I rubbed a lot off naturally on the original ones. lol

 

Jelly. Where you headed man?

 

Out east of Tucson. Exploring some new areas. Should be a good time!

 

Happy Birthday Bro!!!

Thanks Brotha!
