I think I do

 

it was raining pretty good when I picked the truck up and I didn't notice any issues. went back out to check out the tint in the overcast and I'm already noticing some flaws. hhhaaaaahaha i'm getting soft. should have asked if they warranty their work

 

In my youth, I worked as a tamp and foil machine operator for centerfire cartridges at Remington. The foil was just some red paper that was cut to the size of the primer body and used to compress the primer mix during the tamp operation. We kept the primers and mix wet with alcohol during assembly. I guess it was denatured alcohol.

After they were assembled, the truckers would take them out to the drying hut. I remember we had "primer truckers" that rolled around steel-wheeled carts to cart around a tote box full of primers. They took the primers to and from the drying huts. Once in a while a primer would get run over by the wheel and pop off. The primer mix was green and the dust was in the air and usually all over you. If you had light or gray hair, it would turn green from being exposed to the primer dust.

I remember wearing special grounding shoes so I couldn't create any static electricity.

 

That’s normal price for a trd 4.7 blower. There’s like maybe 100 of them out there and (plus one experimental VVTI blowe I tried getting my hands on) no one makes the TRD blower still. They were discontinued around 04-05 I believe

 

Linky? I know of the elate manifolds to use SVT blowers. But that’s all

 

I think the dogs will be happy and cool in the back now.

Added 35pct over factory smoked glass on the rear doors and back window

 

What's awesome is I don't even know the guy, I talked to the shop manager who started to tell me that won't due to liability and I politely explained why I knew they had that policy and offered to sign a waiver plus told him I'd only be installing OEM bearings and seals. When I explained my sob story of doing all this other rebuild work myself and how I wouldn't even waste their time if I had a heavy enough press to do it myself, he went and talked with his tech.. who said he'd do it off the books with OEM parts


Sometimes being nice and polite and sounding like you know what you're talking about really pays off

 

Tint looks good!

 

So then you're aware of what I'm talking about.

Brake cleaner or WD40 would render them 'inoperable' for a time being, but once they were dry enough, you could still set a primer off.

 

thanks, hopefully it really keeps temps down. shouldn't attract much attention either

 

Badass

 

It really does, a lot of genuine people respect that and vice versa

Oof, over 7k before shipping

 

If you do, let me know if you'd part with it and for how much shipped.

Getting it would prompt me to do more maintenance, and maybe finally getting my transmission cooler installed.

 

Yea my bad... didn't see that last zero on their AUS dollar price lol

 

Oh yea..

 

If it was like 4K I’d be all over that. a TVS blower can make some good power if I beefed up the engine. But 7k? Fuck that

 

I still have tens of thousands of primers; could set them up as a perimeter alarm...
