    Yee! We are all coming out to chase for Austin, he is racing the durty. Are you guys entering a truck?

    You could say I am definitely in the market for a internal cage & saving money here and there. I can't afford to make it a top priority though. If 5k fell out of the sky and hit me on the head, I would be driving straight to Dirt Designs though. :D

    Brian said it, check out lowrangeoffroad, the pulley was correct, it is a 7 groove just like stock but I had to press it on, literally nothing was assembled except the pump. The lines had to be trimmed a little but all the fittings went on just fine. Its pretty straight forward once you figure out what everything is. You could figure it out no problem, just have to think a little:thumbsup:

    The only hard part was mounting the pump. The mounts are close to stock but the bolt holes are different diameter (smaller) than stock so I had to drill them out to fit better bolts in there and we had to shim the pump backwards to keep the belt on the pulley. Idk if they have even listed this kit on PSCs site yet, they called ME asking what pulley I needed. :rofl:

    Thank you sir! battery relocated, k&n stickers, massive aluminium fluid reservoir... super charger... ah just kidding, sorry I am dreaming :rolleyes:

    You were there in spirit:taco:

    I wAnt to know how the stock rack holds up! Only time will tell. Keep us updated. This is an absolutely necessary mod for rock crawling if it works out!

    I will say i have been driving it non stop since the install on saturday and all seems well so far. Definitly do not turn your wheels with 35s unless you are rolling. I think that is how i did so much damage to my first pump... Also hitting whoops does not help:D

    One thing i left of the racetruck list was my cross over tube, i forget tacos dont come with that:rolleyes: i think the cross over tube wouldnt allow for a super charger so my first upgrade would be gears and headers

    i couldnt imagine trying to drive with 37s and a blown pump.. 35s were a work out for sure.

    Mint 400 was epic, we finished the race!!! 47th out of 150 with two major pit repairs required to keep going. Had to pull the radiator and JB patch first lap race mile 38 and then a loose AC line blew serpentine belt off and had to limp into main pit race mile 90 lap one very hot, got the belt replaced and an amber dust light remounted on the truck. Lap two was smooth sailing and only needed to top off on diesel and fuel in pit A and B before limping across the finish with the turbo making no boost. Austin had a nerf war and got three 30" light bars ripped off on course. GNARLY experience

    Nerfed so hard we lost all dust lights and had both spares pinched into the backhalf rendering them useless on course.
