The Supracharged King Ranch Bundle of Merriment Build

Hey thanks moose! At least someone appreciates it haha
What's new with you?

 

I honestly reminisce about my 1st gen quiet a bit.. I liked that truck a lot.. and it was the same color so I just live vicariously through you. lol

Not a whole lot man. stayin busy with work.. trying to move up and learn as much as I can.. plus hustle and get my own shit out there.. busy busy..

you?

 

Well the past couple pages here you could probably deduce what my next project is for the truck. Other than the new exhaust which I scored a pretty good deal on.

Just getting off work and now time for some playoff basketball and shrimp spaghetti other than that about to get my bachelors in environmental science so life is...uh going haha

 

YAAAASSSS. I'm pretty excited see it come together man. then make a trip out here!!

oh hell yeah dude, congrats. puttin in work. whats the plans after that?

 

Thanks man! Dude I would love to head out over yonder, y'all are in an off road playground. Also would give me an excuse to use the RTT more.
I want to try to go to ATM kingsville here in Texas and try for my masters and specialize in biofuels and clean energy. I wouldn't be against taking a semester off and travel though, just an idea.

 

see! lets do it.. plenty of places to play out here.

daaaaaamn mr bug important guy over here. haha. thats awesome man! good for you. you lookin to work in that field?

 

No issues with it. The weight I have up front settles the higher spring rate 883 coils all while keeping the lifts integrity. My only problem is the rear but that's because all I have is an AAL on the stock leafs.
You can see a small droop in the rear but rides nicely on and off road

 

Sometimes I find myself wandering the AZ/UT/CO threads. A man can dream...

Haha what I study isn't as much bugs as it is more geology and pollutants. Yeah it's something I've always been interested in, like hydrogen fuel cells. Clean stuff.

 

Nice pick up with the exhaust. Are your Halos only partial? Or is it a camera voodoo trick?

 

The front are partial, the rear are full switchbacks.

 

ah. The "daemon eye" look I think is the option iirc. Looks good though. I still need to just go clean my headlights. Yellow hazed like crazy.

 

Demon eyes are basically an LED behind the projector that shines through. As far as I know only a few people have this style on the halo I dubbed "evil eye"

Do you have retrofits or still stock?

 

Still stock. Making them passable for now. Retrofits are on the list a bit down. Unless I mess up the cleaning of the stockers...hmmm...

Yeah, I remember from research a long time ago about the red led in the shroud for the demon eye mod. Back on the corvette forum the Evil eye as you call it was an option from one of the mod

 

typo... *Big - goin for your Masters. Lol

 

For the build

So instead of selling the TRD exhaust I went ahead and got it installed. It's real throaty and practically no drone. I don't see why there were very few of these around because it is an excellent exhaust system. You'll see how my stock exhaust runs rich and cannot handle all the fuel going through. The TRD exhaust alleviated this issue instantly and helps the truck breathe. Unlike N/A trucks I felt an increase in power without a doubt.

Here's my stock config w/ the s/c for comparison:

And post install. Will need to get some daytime pics of the exhaust:

Every time I start up I say "Yes, breathe...breatheeeee"

Old

 

This is a good looking build man, I love the interior!

 

Thanks man. A E S T H E T I C.

 

That TRD Exhaust sounds pretty sweet! Might actually have to keep my eyes open for one when the time comes.

Oh yeah...



Get back in there and do some more legs

 

Calves are stubborn what can I say haha

 

It's also the shorts I have to admit. My calves are lean, but there...
