Chris's Long Travel Supercharged do some of everything build

Trying out another set of tires. Cooper STT Pro. Hoping they will float like my ST Maxx do but have alittle more bite like my Toyo Mt. Same 295/70-17 as the others. They are a set of takeoffs i got cheap so i figure it was worth a shot.

 

They look nice on the truck. Now I have to get out to test them.

 

Well the truck went to prerunner invasion with a list of things broken and came home with a list twice as long. I did get alot of sand miles in and alot of good air.

 

I am not sure why I always break stuff . I must of hit this jump at least 20 times that day.

Started tearing into the truck. And this list is:
-radiator and fans
-fix broken header collector and redo some exhaust
-weld cracks/ plate and add a cross tube on frame where engine cage lands
-fix coilover retab control arm
-add more engine cage and coil bucket/ bump stop bracing. Doubt i will have time to move bumps to upper but possibly.
-new seal on the rack that decided to start leaking.
Figured i would put this here so maybe i will actually fix it and remeber what needs to be done

 

New pulleyboys 2.1 supercharger pulley. We will see if it last longer than the URD 2.1.

 

So I thought the Pulleysboys pulley was going to be steel but after receiving it I realize its aluminum. After looking on there site it says it is : Made from hard anodized 6061 T6 billet aluminum.

Anyone else think they were steel? Maybe that was a long time ago when I think they only made a 2.0, or at least that is all people talked about.

It does feel harder than the URD one but time will tell I guess.

 

New cooling setup:
Griffin 56222-x radiator
dual Spal 30101522 fans
Allstar 30064 fan shroud

Now just have to make mounts and make it all to work together.

 

Radiator is in, fits like a glove.

 

Well it was pretty rough at the dunes and the truck was working well, but t\it did not survive the weekend. Now the rear housing had to come out and get fixed.

A peak at the damage

Screwing around at my house last weekend

 

I guess next week i should probably pull it out of the back of the warehouse i abandoned it in before winter.

 

It is the start of another dune season here. So for I replaced my Uniballs, Balljoints, and Tierod ends. Didn't get time to address much else. Next is new seals in the steering rack and a new powersteering pump. I am also going to have to make some mounting changes to my radiator.

Anyhow a video from the weekend.
