Colorado B.S. Thread

I'm really considering putting one on around Jan. 1... would love to get your opinions on your SC out here.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love my supercharger and wouldn't own a Tacoma w/o one now. You kind of get used to things. What I dislike is the length of time it takes to change spark plugs. I've had a few vehicles that were this difficult and I ended up selling them as a result. I like my Tacoma too much to put back together and sell but man, I really don't want to do this very often.

Here's the before as a reference:


Current:


For the after pic refer to the before pic... hopefully. We'll find out shortly.

FYI, the passenger side three took me like 10min. I'm going on several hours here for the three on the driver's side because someone told me I could change them w/o taking the s/c off. After wrestling w/that for a couple of hours I decided ta hell wit it and pulled the damn thing off. In hindsight it would have been FAR easier to just strip that thing off out of the gate. When this is all done I should have fancy new plugs I won't have to worry again for a while and more booooost!

 

What all have you done to your SC so far? you changed pulleys to the URD undercover also right?

 

If that's what they're calling the 2.85" stealth pulley these days, yeah. That's about it I think.

 

I changed out plugs on a 1st gen with out taking the SC off
its a pain but with enough attachments on your sockets it can be done

 

Then it's not the same because it wasn't a question of tools/attachments.

 

Yeah... it's funny how a bottle of wine will let you sleep late.

 

I went and checked out the car show today in Old Town. Lots of sexy cars.

 

Don't have time to get on here very often due to the new job (which I love... having my own classroom makes all the difference in the world)
But I wanted to say what's up to all you guys and say that I would love for anyone who is up north or willing to travel up here to go wheel or check out a brewery or something after the baby is born. My guess is that it will happen Wednesday and I should be okay to go do some celebrating the following weekend.
I also need some suggestions for a box of cigars. Can't spend a ton, but I wanna treat my friends right too. Any ideas?

 

Wheeling

I'm up for a brewery too if they have some good food.

I went and talked to the school and told them to stop sending me stuff from the mystery person that apparently lives with me lol so fixed that. But now I got his insurance card in the mail...

 

I will defer to Devin. He always has something good to smoke.

 

hey buddy. yes, we need a get together planned. arturo fuentes are always a good choice.

 

on another note.... started to build a new bed rack that is ........ lower

got this bad boy out of the trailer, on a stand, and started tear down with my dad today



and some light reading material from my dads coworker

 

I'd love to meet some of the FoCo TW crew, and am down for whatever. And best of luck on Wednesday - if this is your first, well, watching kids grow is one of the best things in life (even if you have *waaaay* less money for truck parts. ) And you'll have a *whole* new respect for your wife after seeing that whole birthing thing, too. Ladies are *tough*, man.

There used to be a great cigar shop with an extensive humidor in the shopping center west of the Red Lobster - I'd trust their recommendation if they're still there.

 

I like the inch maduro's. but if you like flavored try some of drew estates. Like ambrosia, dirt, toast, van reef.

 

Legit!!

I'd meet up for sure.. But my truck isn't really in a trail ready status. Working on it slowly though!

Does anyone on here go to CORE in Agate? Passed that on my drive back from NY

 

I'd be up (down?) for this for sure. Bunch of gun forum guys and I have been doing a regular brewery get together. Just hit up Grimm Brothers last time and I wouldn't mind going there again if you wanted to. I think Aaron said he wanted to go too.

I've heard questionable things about this place but we're going to check it out next time we go somewhere. I heard the beer was just so so and they rely heavily on the gimmick of the name & such to sell beer. I want to see what their beers taste like but I also want to check out the Blown Spoke hard cider that's at the same location.

So you liked it?

 

Now my little project today seems pretty simple after seeing that pic.

 

Yea it's good stuff. One or two fruity beers, a few ipas and then a mix of stouts.... Bet that helps narrow it down eh? Haha.

I did both of their flights and yes... They use the gimmicks to sell the beer for sure but its a good time. I haven't done much searching but that was the only brewery I've found so far. I just got out here from NY

 

You MUST check out Grimm Brothers in Loveland too. There's also the usual suspects in Fort Collins like Left Hand Brewery, O'dells, etc.
