Yup. Sorry for the delayed answer I came home and crashed after the double shift. I will try to lay it out and take pics today

 

Nice! I bet you will be happy with it. Sometimes i wish i went with a more mild lift and a smaller tire size for a few reasons. Although i bet if i went smaller i would regret no going bigger

 

I am sure I will like it. The bad part is I cant work on the truck for awhile due to other things that have to get done

 

Absolutely, grass is always greener......

 

Ya that sucks. My lift sat in my garage for a long time. Then i got tires and i was motivated to get it done but had no time. I would work on it as soon as i got home from work 6-10 on weekdays and skip dinner haha. But i also had a work van so the truck could sit on jack stands for a few days which was nice. If you do a mod day ill try to make it up

 

Yep. My main issue is limited downtravel. Driving in and out of NYC i would cringe when i hit a big pothole, my truck just dips right into them.

 

Cool I will let you know. I have typical house stuff that has to take priority.

 

Do I Need To Buy More Parts To Be A Part Of This? Lol

 

Nope the last one I did not everyone worked on their trucks.

 

You Were Supposed To Say Yes! Force Me To Get Something Fun

 

Ok then yes

 

Only those with over $1,000 in parts to install will be allowed

Well then I guess I could go to this.

Scott, I have a hitch for you, just getting a price.

 

Hey Chris, how'd those OCTaco brake lines go in for you?
I have a set just haven't had the time to put them in.

So,whatcha get?

 

Engine theory is like Jesus for me; I'll believe it when I see it.

If the dynos show an increase (even if just a minor) for the Nissan, there is a chance the Yota will see a similar result. If I can make this POS part for under $100 then it's money well spent for even a couple HP and Tq. Solid reliable horsepower can cost anywhere from $20-200 per/HP (oh yeah, nitrous is cheap, and just like Meth it'll end up killing the user).

Supercharger and Installation: ~ $6,000 (for arguments sake we upgraded the fuel pump, rail, did the exhaust, maybe added some URD goodies)

Stock HP is 236@5200, Tq is 266@4000
TRD says they can get 304 HP and 334 Tq
Difference: 68HP & 68 Tq
6000/68= $88/HP

Because I factored in some exhaust work it'll certainly breathe better and give us more HP, as well as the URD goodies. I'm willing to argue that we can reduce the cost/HP to $50/1, when in reality we are still looking at $60-70/HP

So if I can make this silly spacer for $100 or less and it only produces 2HP I'm on par. If it produces 3 or 4 HP at 1500 RPM I'm the friggin' man

 

They were a breeze up front. Just turned the wheel, sat down, swapped them out. Out back was a nightmare because of the bracket up on the frame rail limiting wrench space. I would recommend removing the spare (so you can sit comfortably) and possibly raising the truck up on stands (for the same reason). You'll have to give the stock retaining clips a little extra bend for them to snugly retain the OCTaco lines because of the small difference in the fittings, but they worked out well.

I love the lines.

 

I got a chuckle out of this but well said and exactly what I'm thinking with this whole experiment.

 

20 today...where does time go...

 

Happy Birthday
