nj636 DCSB DB build thread

So far no added maintenance. I believe it has a separate reservoir for the oil near the brake fluid reservoir and uses the same belt just longer. I could be wrong though?

 

When did you get a double cab with a supercharger??? That's awesome! I had a S/C installed a few months ago too and wish I would've had it put on sooner. As far as maintenance goes for the supercharger, the nose oil should be replaced at about 100k and I was told by my tech that they can chew through belts more quickly. The reservoir near the brake fluid reservoir is coolant for the intercooler. Mine had a small leak coming out the bottom of the reservoir because the hose clamp wasn't tight enough (or got loose from vibrations), so check for coolant leaks under your truck occasionally too.

 

does it use an automatic or manual belt tensioner?

I've been coming up with a single turbo design for the truck for when I get bored

 

I've had the double cab for about 8 months, had to upgrade due to having my son. Access cab wasn't cutting it.

It would be hard not to own a Tacoma now without a S/C now. It makes it some much more fun to drive.

Only problem I noticed so far was a small squeal last winter when it was cold out at first start up, but once the truck warmed up, the noise would go away. So far so good otherwise!

 

Do it, boost makes the Tacoma's so much more fun to drive

Made that slidah yo bitch.

 

have never been so happy to fail something

 

Crusty as fuck. Good to see you are joining the new frame crew though!

 

I just got the same hinge hood bracket from Relentless Fabrication. I was wondering how you routed your coax cable from your Firestik antenna underneath your hood to your cb radio. If you don't mind can you post a picture underneath the hood so I can see how you routed the cable? Thanks

 

@Chux stopped by Wednesday to do a Redline strut install --- We did both trucks, easy install.

 

We also installed Energy Suspension radiator support bushings on Jay's truck. Can't believe how worn out they were on his truck. Looked at my 06 and they were equally waffled. Immediately ordered them for my truck.

@Chux radiator support bushing install


We used the factory bottle Jack and a block of wood to raise the support enough to remove the bushing and install the new bushing.





OEM vs Energy Suspension

 

I have the pictures from the install somewhere. I'll post them when I find them.

 

Dem bushings were woah'd out

 

I going to have to check mine out. I have a set of Energy Suspension bushing on my Dakars I've be very happy with them.

 

Def check them out! The pic above of the stock bushings doesn't even do justice. They are fubar
