TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I would get the cross tube. My defined engineer rear brace really helped with the rear end on my tacoma

 

I may be in for this. I am bit tapped out since joining this thread and about to take a family trip to Hawaii but if its close I am a sucker for deals.

Also for folks getting it, if you can get a buddy with a plasma cutter you can get the old ones off in a few minutes. Jerry over at BAMF had his out at a mod day and was taking them off super easy. I was thinking of the Archive version mainly because it has the cross tube. Jerry does not have that yet (that I recall).

wow, this guy. I can't afford a staycation!

 

I can't even afford a pair of drawers.

 

I just feel the Archive units deviate from factory leaf geometry and that’s not a great idea. The BAMF units are factory specs, no lift. Let your springs do that work. Plus, BAMF initially offered the cross bracing but only a few people took him up on it. It’s a scale issue I assume. It wouldn’t be a profitable venture to only make 3 cross braces.

However, I will be having BAMF do a cross brace that also ties into an additional frame bracing when I finally get around to installing mine. The backside of my truck just keeps getting heavier and I keep readjusting with new rear leafs. It’s time to start bracing the frack out of everything as well. Gotta pay to play.

 

Plasma cutter makes quick work of them vs the grinder method. Did mine in like an hour start to finish.

 

I really don't know anyone who has one of those. It sure would come in handy though.

 

I wish I got to talk to you more about installing them. I’ve done 3 installs so far and know lots of tricks.

 

Whose mounts did you go with? I don’t remember mine being too much of a pita.

 

Hey now.

 

posted up a gb for these. I'll let @12TRDTacoma have his thread back now.

 

it's the urd tail kit. it works for now. this is about 4" of lift.

 

a cross brace is great, but means spare tire relocation. a steel pipe is an easy add for guys going super wild.

 

Might have questions later

Here is a link to the HH gb.

thanks man!

 

My spare tire has been relocated a looong time ago...

 

If it's a bolt on item that would be a revolutionary thing. It would allow for the spare to be mounted back on anytime.

 

that would be rather simple to fabricate. I was thinking about a square tube on end around a spare tire and bolt on.
