Chenbro's Second Silver Taco Build

Maybe I should take her up I-70 to the mountains a few more times. Worked for me when asking for the supercharger

 

Pull a couple spark plugs so it's not firing on all of them. That will help.










You could also get a new engine too

 

Won't make it too far on 70 right now! Just saw that on my ups tracking info so I looked it up.

 

How much did it cost you?

 

I don't remember the exact number, but maybe around $300? They did one coat of silver and two coats of clear.

 

I finally got some time over the holiday weekend to upgrade my headlights to LS460 projector retrofits with 35W 5000K HID bulbs. The lenses are etched with the Toyota logo, and in the pic below you can see a hint of the passive blue demon eye.




This photo of the beam pattern doesn't do it much justice because I'm only about 10' from the garage door. The tape marks are where my stock headlights were aimed previously, and lowered slightly on the driver side to reduce the chances of blinding oncoming traffic.



These lights are amazing compared to stock (not saying much, I know). The beam pattern is so wide that an entire lane on my left and right are illuminated but without blinding oncoming traffic. The color temp also matches more closely with my LED aux lighting. I still need to wire up the halos as soon as I decide whether I want them just as halos or if I also want the switchback functionality for turn signals.

 

Spent the evening installing an ARB twin compressor that I got from a recent @ramonortiz55 group buy. It's mounted on a Slee Offroad bracket that locates it next to the washer fluid reservoir. The Slee kit came with a 20" length of plastic tubing and some compression fittings to hook up the manifold kit, but I didn't like the materials so I got an

$24 Viair 92804 18" Stainless Steel Braided Leader Hose without Check Valve

18" Viair braided stainless hose and a

$64 Parker - 4-4 SE-SS Stainless Steel 316 Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Street Elbow, 1/4" NPT Male X 1/4" NPT Female

316 stainless elbow instead.

 

Damn I hope your old compressor and bracket are going to a good home!! Should be nice to air up with the twin though.

 

I've had a couple people ask me about the old compressor already. I'll clean it up and put it up for adoption soon

 

Left the bumper to get necessary credentials today. They were great help and easy to deal with, thanks for the info and reccomendation

 

No problem, man! Glad you decided to go for it!

 

Sub'd!

This picture makes me sad. Glad it all worked out for you, though!

 

Aw, jeez. Not again!

 

@jubei777 is making the rounds....

He's kinda like the Chadspride of Colorado build threads

 

Haha!

 

Thanks!

Not enough BS in your other threads so you have to come gum up mine?

What's your schedule looking like for spring/summer? I have a couple of projects that require a welder and plasma cutter.

 

Yup that what i do apparently, gum things up. And tell me when and ill be free
