NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

DAUUUUM!

 

Been following this build for years. Handfuls of popcorn going down like never before

 

This thing installed yet?

 

lol not even close... working 6 days/wk limit my project time these days.. and with winter doing well this year, i've been spending my sundays on the mountain.

got the remaining parts accumulated tho and press assembled ready to get the shafts put together...

the truck projects are growing though and need to get a start on them.. april will be coming soon and all needs to be done and tested before heading out on trips...

Taco:
Axle install and break-in
Front diff, tcase, crawlbox, tranny fluid swap
Switch-pro install and rewire accessories
Supercharger maintenance
New ham radio

FJ:
spark plugs
Front and reaf diff, tcase and tranny fluids
Inspect 3rd member
S-Tech install and rewire
Insane Audio install
Speaker upgrade
Rock lights
LP6 install
new tires (maybe after april trips)

 

Sounds about how my list is going... just keeps getting longer and longer and every once in a while I will knock something out.

 

Whatcha doing that for?

 

got an unmolested one from a local guy.. might relocate switches after i go switch-pro which will eliminate switches in front of the shifter.

but i might keep my 4 switch setup there for F&R Locker, Compressor and 4wd. Then switch-pro for all my lights and mount that left of the steering wheel



no idea what the actual name of that part is....the section with the power outlets

 

I changed mine out a long time ago for the ones that had the 3 switch panel. Think the 12-15 have 4? The 09-11 had the 3 if I remember right

 

i completely forgot what mine looked like factory

i cut out more tho so i can fit 4 OTRATTW switches in there.

 

finally making some progress on the ProRock 60...


took a day away from boarding to get some work done on some projects. i finally got moving forward on getting the axle put together getting it ready for install. the axle comes now with only the housing and shafts. i had Dynatrac do the install of gears and ARB locker as well as their toyota flange on the pinion. there's a list of OEM parts that need to be put on the shafts before going on the axle... studs pressed in, bearing mated with the backing plate, and bearing/backing plate pressed onto the shafts...

she's now looking like a proper axle!

 

its really easy to set up a disc conversion with the axle not installed.

 

you paying?

drums work just fine

i get to use that extra money and get some projects done the FJ too

 

Dynatrac ProRock60 install day! went smoothly until the end when i saw my driveshaft was 1.75" too long... getting that dropped off this week to have shortened and freshened up...

for now, she's in and everything else is connected... brakes, sensors and air line.





obligatory no legs shot...


Toyota 8" vs Dynatrac ProRock60




and surprise of the day... no clearance loss...

ProRock


8"

 

WOULD YA!

 

Any reason you went for a Dana and not a 9"?

 

more of a bolt in application (even tho i had to modify my driveshaft)... also bigger, dynatrac also has a toyota flange option that currie does not offer. looking back at it though, if i went for the 1350, i probably wouldn't have had to modify the shaft, just swap the ujoint...

 

I am actually surprised the driveshaft was that much of a difference. Mine ended up being the exact same and didn't have to modify it at all except doing the new U-joint.

 

mine's at the shop right now getting 2" taken out of it.. the the lower shaft and pinion flanges out of the equation and it could have worked.. $100 isn't too bad of an additional cost when talking about the big picture of this project

 

Yea definitely.

When I had my driveshaft out, I said screw it and went ahead and had all new ujoints and a new carrier bearing done on it.

But now I need to get my driveshaft redone and balance since I got it on a rock ledge really good back in December...

 

have you already retubed to a thicker wall?
