    Made it out to Anza for a last minute trip. Was able to test supercharger mods and everything worked out great!

    Thank! The desert has been beautiful this time of year, hope to get out a few more times before it gets crazy hot!

    On another note, I finally pulled the trigger. Picked up a Ford 9" rear end to complete the build. This thing would cost well over 3K to have Currie build me a new one (have the original invoice to prove it, but I got a deal on this unit.

    Race Case
    Equal length 35 spline extreme duty tapered large bearing axles
    Fully Trussed

    Other than a little surface rust she should clean up nicely. Will be a while until I can have it installed due to the cost and amount of work required but this is another big step forward!

    I picked up an Extreme ARB dual air compressor, this has been on my list for some time. Will finally have on-board air! Time to stock up on air tools, air horns, air tanks. air lockers and beach floats and whatever else air is good for! Really bought it for the lockers however because I will be losing my elocker when I switch to the Ford 9" and I will be installing a front and rear ARB locker. Also will have 35"+ tires you need a serious compressor to keep those filled.

    On another note I was recently having rough starts where then engine would run rough for about 30 seconds and then smooth out. Every so often I would get the P0303 code so I replaced all my coils, wires and plugs. Seems to have worked but I'll give it a few days. Also have new injectors on order should that be the problem.

    Last few parts for the on-board air are flowing in, now to find the best place to mount this baby!

    Did some fine tuning on the OBA, replaced ARB's splash filters with lines coming from the intake tube for cooler, drier and cleaner air. The unit is now completely sealed from the elements

    Damn nice work and nice idea! Figure if you have a snorkel might as well use that air elsewhere too. Probably will keep your filters virtually always clean.

    Great idea. Little details that maximize reliability.
    I first thought it was some type of forced induction using the compresor to boost the psi.

    Ya the snorkel w/pre-filter keeps the main filter super clean. Would have to replace the filter after every other trip before with all the dirt that got in there. Can basically run the compressor under water now.

    Would have to reverse the flow of the dilithium crystals first, along with tuning the flux capacitor.

    Rear axle is getting prepped. Installing the ARB air locker and adding some differential armor. Everything is finally coming together.

    I have a 2015 tacoma v6 sr5 and i will never buy another vehicle! I'm currently looking for a good offered suspension kit but the ones i find look like shit. can you recommend a good one with a three inch lift. i go up north a lot from where i live but i want a reliable suspension when it calls for it.

    I would say for a full package go with Old Man Emu, their setup served me well, can't be the price. It also looks like you live up north, the fancy coilovers often don't hold up well to road salt. OME can give a 3" lift depending on what setup you go with. I even think they updated their lineup.

    Thanks! Has served me well. Don't use it as often as I thought I would however, need to take longer trips..

    With the locker hopefully going in soon along with the the air tank I can finally get some use out of the setup. works great for cleaning the dust out of your computer however lol

    I want a low profile rack that goes level over my cab and shell. The rack on my shell sits up a little too high for my taste

    Cant got back nearly as far as you once did. I'm sure someone will clear it, looks like some rigs have tried to get over it but failed. Would damage every body panel if I tried with my rig lol

    Buddy mapped it out.

    Apparently here
