    What pulley setup are you going with? Do not, I repeat, do not go near any URD stealth pulleys.

    Also yes, I would 100% recommend methanol.

    And just in case you go down the rabbit hole, I ran a solid coupler and it sounded like the supercharger was about to lock up. Like rocks in a steel can rolling around. Sounded so bad I went to OE style coupler.

    It's from Taco Vinyl. They don't make my version anymore, but they make a 2.0 version which I think looks better than mine, it honeycomb. It's just the insert, very well made.

    I went with the 2.8” URD QuickChange Supercharger Pulley.

    Which methanol kit would you recommend?

    Halfway done with my Lil B's bed stiffner install. Had to pause to help a buddy out with some spark plugs on his Danger Ranger.

    SW Mitten, for the moment..
    Vehicle:
    '12 TRD OR ACLB 6MT
    FJ AWD Swap & 3G Pro Suspension
    Finished installing 3G leafs and Trail Edition 1/2" spacer. Netted about 1-1/4" total rear lift over pre-TSB 2 leaf springs. Still need to roll it out and see of that is where I want it, but I think that should be about right. But holy cow, this truck has been a complete unpredictable assortment of like new and stuck bolts, I was not prepared for that to be the battle it was. But it made the drum brake rebuild seem less annoying, hah!

    I also got a tracking number for a replacement CV from the dealer..I'm a little bit in shock, after almost a week of no news I thought I was on my own, but not complaining!

    I made the image using paint, used the owners manual and a USB drive to change the load up screen after the TOYOTA screen when you first start the truck. You can put any image you want there as long as it's Jpeg and not over 30mb. If you want my load up imagine I can send it to you if you want.

    Replacing my carrier bearing today. U-joints seem to be alright but I figured I'd just replace them anyways since I've got the driveshaft off.

    Ordered and received JBA arms. I have a squeak/clunk in my front end. I don't feel like rebuilding my Total Chaos arms.

    Put on a new rear bumper. I'm waiting for my four-switch panel to arrive. Once that is installed, I'll wire up the cube lights.
