TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

New wheels, tires, and intake.

 

Which wheels/tires did you go with?

 

2wd gets around fine until big hills. Blew my stereo. Those are next on my list. 80watt tweeters. Hump. Quiters.

 

The lightest possible.

 

Except for the tires. Accidentally bought e rated:/

 

I'm just toning for 456 gears ad 35s. I guess

 

Any idea what the wheels weigh each

Ive been looking for some lighter wheels myself

 

You planning on doing 35s eventually? 4.56 and 33s would rip. May be a bit much on the hwy but im guessing itd be livable with the auto

 

Not sure who is local enough but I got some 35s, Duratracs coming up for sale shortly, 315/75r16.

I’ve been on them with 4.88s and can’t wait to go bigger to get back to stock ratios. No answer from Mat, after he just saw my messages and was out all day so probably having to wait another week on the S/C install. Been sitting waiting for my tune to come back for three weeks now.

 

You going to 37s?

 

Are you doing it?!

 

Did it

Bad man. I don’t need any more help spending money. Can you add a Harrop?

Edit: On their site I can add an Eaton.

 

HA!

I don’t know TBH. I only considered the OX. That’s the way to go IMO. Can be air, electric, or cable actuated. No seals to leak like ARB.

The “Drive Away Lock” is pretty awesome too.

 

There was a 9” Ford rear installed by one of the mods that I also thought was supper cool, but I think this wins. You’re a much more hard core wheeler than me, but I’ve worried that with the SC I could take out the rear end. I don’t see how you could break a Dana 60. Did you keep the A-trac?

 

Anyone know how to remove the plastic cap to expose the pulley thread?

 

Put your thumb on the end of it, and turn counterclockwise like you were unscrewing a bolt

 

I believe it’s the SC that was killing my ring gears. Coupled with the traction bar and 35s.

The last time, I drove 2500 miles home after a week of wheeling Moab. The following Monday on the way to work I did some data logging for Scott.

I noticed the rear making noise on my way home that night. No way I drove home from Moab with a few teeth missing off the ring gear and didn’t hear anything. Had to be the data logging. Most likely, just took off too hard once.

After two ring gears in a month, not to mention going up to 37s, I had to do something.

I never had A-trac.

 

I was planning on it but since moving the cab mounts everything is really opened up. I found some Falken 38x13.50r17s that are only 6 ply, Wildpeak M/Ts. I may pick those up this weekend.
