Eric's Supercharged Shit-box

I scrolled fast...


























It was worth it

 

Sure is a pretty blue, lol

 

Yea, I don't have cruise anymore, or a horn. Full hydro ruined that haha. My stock wheel was just worn out and I hated the size it was. And now I can recenter my wheel much easier with the quick release.

It was a brand new windshield I paid $250 for and I broke it the next day wheeling. This happened about 3 years ago. I was so fucking pissed at it I threw my snorkel at it and smashed it again. Haha

Why yes it is, looks snazzy

 

I'm not worried about mine, its trashed from welding slag anyways. I was just pissed it busted without anything hitting it haha. Rock got sandwiched between the windshield and lower windshield bar... Body moved, cage didn't aaaandd crunch.

 

Damn that's weird and kinda shitty! How big of a rock was it?


I put mine on and the next day I hit a tree with the snorkel and it shattered the corner. Tree ripped off the snorkel head and I got out and kicked it as hard as I could and then ran after it and was still so pissed I chucked it at the window again and that's where the giant spider crack in the middle is from... STILL mad. haha. Oh well.

 

Mine broke sitting in the garage! I came out to drive it one day and there was a crack running the length of the windshield right where the wipers stow. At least you guys got to see yours break!!

 

Damn that sucks!! stupid glass...

 

My windshield broke while tucked away under my bed. I was saving it for Eric, but my 7yo was playing hide & seek and put a hairline crack in it from top to bottom.

 

Used a bronze sleeve/bushing I had laying around. It fit perfectly in the splined coupler and over the OEM splined section of the steering shaft to get it centered before welding it on.

Where'd you find your wheels and tires? I might be in the market for a set of 17x9 6x5.5 racelines if you come across a set.

 

Pirate, came with the tires... Oh and along with that fucking price tag!

 

Still better than buying new

 

Like.

 

Same, still the original windshield though! Every year the crack grows about an inch.

 

OK, got some time finally. First.... Thanks again to Jon (45acp) For making this shit happen... muchas gracias!

First step, remove old axle...







Went with blue accent to match the kings.



Jon put the new wheel on for me. Slightly smaller and got rid of the ugly beat up tacoma wheel. So much nicer it's stupid. I should of done it years ago.







Got the T100 1 ton MC... DIRECT BOLT IN. Awesome.





Test fitting



Looks SO GOOD in there.









It's tight in there.





Mils from the oil pan.





Bump stops Jon designed...



Driveshaft doesn't have enough droop... it's never ending with these fucking trucks I swear.



Adding the bump stop reinforcement for the pads (not the actual pad)



It's IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Jon putting his truck together for a photo... GTFO JON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

much win.

 

Sweet!

How's the t100 MC work? Make braking better???

 

Thanks for getting me in the picture, you ass. I look fat as fuck!

Hard to tell just yet, Monte. We got the front calipers bled. But despite using penetrating oil, BOTH rear bleeder valves ripped off they were so seized up. Both rear calipers will be replaced.

On that note, does anyone know why the bleeder valves are ALWAYS a pain in the ass? Is the brake fluid acting like loctite? Good or bad idea to put anti-sieze on those?

 

Dude idk but everytime I touch one I cringe expecting it to strip before breaking loose. I haven't had one break off yet though. My guess is it has something to do with the heat.

 

You could try anti-seize on the threads and see if that helps. I always use a 1/4 drive rachet and 6 point socket when bleeding brakes. Less of a chance of rounding the bastards.
