    Do you think those belly pans help your mileage at all? Would seem to cut down on all the wind resistance from all the crap down there...

    Haha. Mileage? What's that? I highly doubt it, they're quite heavy. I do plan to remake them all out of AL after I finish up some other projects. If I had to guess, id say I get 11-13 mpg in this thing.

    Fired the truck up tonight. Afr is perfect and hits a little rich at wot at exactly 6 lbs of boost. Truck runs great with no pinging. Spins the tires through first. 5. 29s and 35s. Headed out of town early in the Am. I'll post some go pro footage of the rear suspension next week.

    Thank you. The front end and rear axle housing are still to go.

    The links and shock towers still aren't coated but they'll get sandblasted again anyways. The rear axle won't so I had to make sure to get it protected.

    So I found a Centerforce dual friction clutch for $431.00 shipped. Anyone have any better alternatives? My buddy with the turbo truck likes his and the pedal isn't bad so I'm thinking it might be the best way to go.

    Stuff and junk and things...

    I have an ACT for 80K now, I haven't been nice to it and with 10 PSI it's on its way out.

    The pressure plate is wearing out so the petal has gotten very hard and will slip under hard accel and quick shifts. I think I'm going to try marlin HD clutch next time around.

    supercharged with MCM front kit

    I ran a centerforce dual friction for 7 years or so and was happy with it. I switched to the LC engineering dual comp a couple years ago because I though I had a clutch related problems, which I didn't. The LC seemed alittle more aggressive but that could have just been because the centerforce was old. Sitting side by side they looked almost identical.

    My truck is supercharged with most of the bolt on goodies. It was used to pull my enclosed trailer and beat on offroad. I would recommend either.

    just got a simple lift on her
    your favorite used to be the LCE dual composite clutch or something right?

    change your opinion to the TRD? care to explain why?
    i have the LCE and i love it.

    I wouldn't call it my favorite. I have recommended the heavy LCE flywheel to a few people focused on crawling. JLee has both. I'm sure my truck will get another TRD clutch within the next year.

    and picked up a Currie sway bar to put on the Tacoma. Modeled it up tonight and got it in place. I'll design the mounts tomorrow or so. It will be nice to have some more stability at speed.

    Got some more hardware placed in the model tonight and some tabs drawn for the lower swaybar mount. Should have this thing on by Tuesday.
