its going to be some time as i still have tread left on these. I am just gathering info. But will have you do it once i am ready

 

Hey Eric are you able to get the co2 regulators at a better price than Wheelers? I got a smokin deal on a 20# tank today.

 

I dont think so Dave. Just hit up Wheelers.

 

Kinda what I thought. Just wanted to check first. We meeting up Thursday this week?

 

probably not since theres the Mod Day Saturday? IDK.
Guess we'll have to ask nathan what he was thinking.

 

Prez Nathan

 

I think this weeks meet will be mod day, we can get pizza or something for lunch. Then we can plan a future meet up then..

Sound good?

 

Where do you plan on mounting your tank and compressor. I still haven't installed mine in my new truck yet. In my old truck I mounted the compressor behind the driver rear seat. And put the tank mounted underneath where the spare used to be along with my train horns.

I just purchased 100ft of the 1/4 inch black plastic tubing and 100ft of red and black 16 gauge wire to reinstall everything. Im sure I wont need all of it if you need some.

 

I was actually just out looking for that tubing. Was thinking about mounting the compressor in one of the rear storage compartments and the tank right up by the rear bumper, shouldn't be able to see it once it's mounted up there.

 

I bought mine off Amazon it was like $19 for 100ft. I thought about the rear storage as well but I know how dusty and dirty it gets back there. So didn't want to risk it.

As far as the tank by the rear bumper. I was worried about the lines getting caught on something or hitting the tank on a rock or something. So I mounted it closer to the axle.

 

Thought about that too but mine is a 5 gallon and doesn't fit so good right behind. Could probably make it fit better with a cutoff wheel. I'll check it out more the closer I get to installing it.

 

After looking again I just need to hack more of my exhaust off to put it there otherwise it hits it.

 

Eric, What is on your T4r now for front suspension?

 

just stock coils and 5100's set to 2.5". Soon to be adding in the OME 885x's and dropping the 5100's down to probably the .85" setting so we get a full 3" lift in the front with the V8 and bumper weight.

 

I don't think I will be able to pick up the bumper and get it painted by Saturday for install, especially with the rain. I will probably just come by and pick it up.

 

When you think you might come by to grab it? Before the weekend? Rain certainly threw a wrench in the plan of moving a bare steel bumper. If you brought supplies to mod day you can probably paint it at my shop then. Just a thought

 

There's a wrecked 07 Taco down at airport auto wrecking with some interior parts/misc stuff still there if anyone needs anything to hack up or whatever.

 

Good looking out Dave
