SupraT's Build

Hey Tony let me know how the S/C goes, Im really looking at one just debating on armor or that first, so if it goes well for you you might be pushing me in that direction.

Then we can show colton how fast 1st gens can be lol

 

So had a long day yesterday...Started with painting my homemade Rock sliders and then changed my oil and attempted to fix my gear oil leak coming from my front driveline seal, but that was unsuccessful due to that nut not coming loose. Well off to something else so I took my box off to install the new fuel pump that came with my 7th injector kit, got that done piece of cake Then I moved on to the Supercharger. That was a pretty easy chore so I also added the 7th injector. So I decided to read up on how to wire in this module that came with the kit to control the extra injector, in my discouragement I found that those instructions were not put in my kit and I cannot even open URD homepage to try to find help. Needless to say I am kinda pissed off! I figure I will mount the box today and prep everything for ounce i actually get some help with that Here is a few pics....

 

I am undecided if I want to cap those My end thought was that water will just flow threw...I might just cap it with a rubber or plastic cap..
Thanks for the compliment

 

Great build man trucks lookin amazing! What brand of fans did you run with? Ive been thinking about switching over to electric fans.

 

Thanks Man! Flex a lite is the fan type i went with.

 

Cool thats the brand Ive been looking at. How difficult was the install?

 

I have done some electrical work before so I thought it was cake

 

mmmm supercharger lol

looks sweet man. I am jealous of the SC!

I dream of twin charging my truck....

 

I'm jealous of that motor you built up for that car

 

Lol thanks man! gonna be a BEAST! i hope..haha

sometimes a get ideas of putting it in my truck...

 

I have thought the same thing a 7m transplant would be bad ass!

Wait till you here the sound of it!

 

I will work on that

 

No worries man I got that barrel roll thing down

 

How did you make the bends in those sliders? Looks like you put a fence post in a vice and pushed until it bent. The corners are totally collapsed. Better than nothing I guess but I can see you having problems with those. And if you keep them, I'd cap the ends.

 

I used a manual tube bender and that is as good as it gets with 1 1/4 gas pipe that has 1/4+ thick wall. For the first thing I have ever fabed that is that big I thought I did pretty good Found some caps today...

 

I don't have the tools either, I had friends like JDenney and a friend from work help with welding and cutting. I hope to expand my tool selection

 

Don't take me wrong.....I'm all for building your own stuff so nice work on that! I was just making an observation on the bends and wondering how you did it, and then maybe making suggestions for improving the results for the next time.

Like I said before, they're better than nothing for sure. So go beat on them and if they don't hold up, you can build another set and try to make them better. Everyone is the same. I build stuff sometimes that I think is gonna rock but it doesn't live up to my expectations and I have to build it again. No biggie, just part of the process, and why it's fun to build your own stuff.

 

I did learn alot just building those and there is a few things that I would like to do differently.. I see on your sig that you've fabed a few things, but no pics in your gallery? Got any ideas on a tire mount for the bed?
