The Sax Hauler: S/C'd TRD Pro lux truck

Just waiting for you to move into a place that needs some trees turned into firewood, I'll be right over!

 

We can pose but we know you're the one true TRD BRO

 

You are the creator of the "BRO!"

 

It's been awhile since I've put some love into the truck. Time to make it faster, starting with

 

Installed it this morning. It REALLY wakes the truck up, should’ve had this in with the supercharger from the start!

AFE Magnum Force Stage 2 Si Pro Dry S 51-82342

 

Hmmm...maybe found my next mod.

 

Is it much louder Ryan? Remind me - you have stock TRD catback exhaust, right?

 

Right, TRD exhaust. It sounds about the same at easy acceleration and cruising RPM, but the s/c whine is quite a bit louder when you get on it. It’s fun! I haven’t done any long pulls yet but it feels like it has more in the high rpm range now, where the stock s/c setup has a lot of torque down low then tapers off.

 

Cool, thanks. It might be added to the mod list.

 

Nice looking intake! Been considering an afe intake for my 4banger

 

Nice truck and nice saxes!

I still have my ‘20s vintage Martin tenor that I played in jazz band. Love that thing.

 

Just got back from driving some more with a smile on my face. Definitely opens up the high end, which is exactly what it needed. Do it!

 

You’ve got a 2.7 L??

 

Oh right on, those are cool old horns! From the heyday when they were stamping them out like crazy. Is it a brass or silver plate? You still play it much?

 

I had a gig last night for an event in Park City. From my house I can either take the freeway out and around, or I can go up past the ski resorts, over the mountain then drop down into Deer Valley -- same commute time. Easy decision!

Utah is beautiful, especially this time of year.
View from Guardsman Pass yesterday:


2 saxes cause I get bored playing just one:

 

Love the top of guardsman! Also love when it is melted out and you can rip a MTB all the way to PC, then grab an ice cream cone!

 

I'll have to add that to the bucket list! Man I keep thinking about getting a bike. I mean I have one but it's the skinny tires / spandex type of bike and I'm over it.

Headed up to the Uintahs tonight, you been up there lately?

 

I got 2 spare mtn bikes. Lemme know and we can go for a trial ride to see if you dig it.

Can't say I have been up there recently, but I need to make a trip out there sometime soon!

 

Hang on, I've seen your bikes and ain't no way I'm worthy, those things look like they're worth more than my truck. Know anyone with a Schwinn?

 

I mean...I wasn't gonna give you my GOOD bike. There are plenty of bike demo places in PC as well. Let's go figure out a day to hit the trails. I mean we're basically neighbors for goodness sake.
