slacker you Canadians get all the good stuff jeez

I mean Toyota truckwise that is yeah that's what I meant man (best Ch and Chong imitation)

Tex we should commission like a drawing/ a cariacture -like a cartoon on a Tshirt- you in your hat with the S/C spinning wildly and firing off rounds at the varmint Fords/Dod/Chevs as you crush them descending a hill and those lights blazing

I wish I had an artistic bone in my body but it did not descend into my gene pool just like the mechanical gene.... alas...

If you have checked out my build , you'll see i'm in no rush to purchace , so I'll wait for the "best deal "

I just picked one up with 15K miles on it for 975 shipped. Check car-parts.com for used superchargers. There's always 2 or three around.

http://montana.craigslist.org/pts/986942522.html Dont know how close you are to that but that seems like a pretty decent deal. Doesnt matter where you can one from just get one! I have one on my 3.4 i love it, its awesome just having instant power whenever you want it. O and nothings better than smoking a ricer in truck

You said it!

And with my truck it looks/sounds stock from the outside, and since it is always in 4wd, it looks like i am not even trying when i smoke them. The looks you get are sooooo much fun!

Same here well the sound anyways, my exhaust is really quiet and so is the engine tell you get on the gas then its just plain loud. They just look at it and think its a big lifted slow 4runner but little do they know...........hahaha

I was in the same boat, do like i did and watch craigslist and ebay for months. At some point you will find a good deal. then start putting together the rest of the kit as you can afford it.
