MatthewMay1's SUPERCHARGED Build Thread

Visited the Rendezvous in the Ozarks and had the first shakedown with the RTT. I loved it! I figured out some ways to make it more comfortable for next time, and I can't wait to go camping with it again soon. There just so happened to be a fly-in happening this weekend as well, so I got to see a few cool planes too I didn't take hardly any photos of what we were doing, but I'll share what I got.

I started using the Gaia app for trail navigation and it was awesome. I should have bought this subscription a long time ago! I bought a cheap suction mount to use as a trial. I'm now going to order an X grip iPad mount.




We camped with an awesome group from PF Adventure, a company based in the Tulsa area that sells a whole lot of overlanding gear. They were displaying gear on new Tacomas and 4Runners and I caught a serious case of the "I wants." I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to BS around the campfire with. Oh, and @Pistol Pete and @PinnaclePete were there too



I've never seen so many rigs parked so close together, but space was at a premium at this event! Finally, I was included in the RTT gang


Here are the only pictures I took on the trails... Some were mild, some were more technical.



Finally I got tired of looking at trucks with big tires so I went to look at planes with big tires

Nov 10th visit to the Ozarks with @PinnaclePete @TerraNerva and my buddy from class. Special thanks to @Dave_M for getting quality pics

I spy .....

 

Looks like I needed a little more camouflage on my hood. Haha

 

Got the engine broken in finally!

 

I was very concerned about the upside down Jeep for a second...

Looks like a fun trip. I definitely want to go back there!

 

Just having a little fun with the odd man out

 

Are those trails car wash falls and falling water road? I had a couple GPX files of places I wanted to hit on my way home from Moab last year and those were on the list. Just ran out of time on the journey back so I couldn't.

 

One of the waterfalls is Falling Water Falls, but we didn’t run Car Wash Falls on this trip. I actually haven’t even done that one...yet

 

Dang! The little airplane driver has been busy!

 

I do my best

 

Hmm.

 

Mine threw the same codes a few years ago. Start with cleaning your MAF sensor and resetting the ECU. It requires a specific cleaner to prevent damage.

Mine actually did wind up being the downstream 02 sensor though which is the first time on any vehicle I've ever owned that an O2 sensor code was actually the O2 sensor. I put in an Auto Zone special and it lasted for about a year. Ordered Toyota OEM online and haven't had another issue from it.

 

Tried to clean the MAF yesterday and realized that it is held in with brass screws...ugh. Those things stripped faster than a $2 hooker. Now I'm going to have to wait until mid December to get the truck back to Texas to clean it because all my tools are in the shop at home.

 

Can't say I know much about $2 hookers but as far as tools hit up the AR thread. I'm sure someone would be willing to loan some tools and if you're running lean I'd try to avoid driving it that far to prevent internal damage. I'd volunteer mine if I was home.

 

If I can find time might talk to the mechanics at the airport and see if they can lend me a hand. I hate not having my own tools here!

 

LOL. I almost said something about you being a pilot and surely knowing at least one A&P mechanic. Some of the best tool collections I've seen belonged to A&P mechanics.

 

I might run by there one day after class when I get back from Thanksgiving

 

For some reason one of my headlights didn't want to turn on tonight....That's annoying. Looks like I have something else to add to my to-do list
