Sweet truck!
Nicest 3rd gen Ive seen yet. Keep up the good work, just please please don't be like every other street truck and get "altezzas". It would be hard for me to take a truck so nice off road. Either way, you have one sweet ride. I didn't even mind the plate frame. Anyone that takes something like that seriously needs to laugh more.

 

Turboale-

Thanks for the compliments bout my ride. I guess the plate frame is kinda "damned if ya do...damned if ya don't". I yanked her this afternoon for good though. Ran the exact same frame on my 02' Lightning with a plate reading "BURN EM", and got plenty of laughs as well. I do try to keep the "bling" to a minimum...just having fun. Thanks for your .02 cents. Peace.

Billy, have installed you a s/c your on runner yet. Just a word of warning I had the aircharger on my runner and installed the TRD s/c. Turns out its a bad combination. TRD does not recommend to have any kind of air intake system if you are supercharged. In the end I had to remove the aircharger and left the supercharger.

 

Thanks Biff-

Yeah, definitely would run lean with the FIPK plus the supercharger. I am planning on yanking the FIPK when the blower goes on...it is just temporary. No blower yet, but soon...I think you were the one who gave me the phone number to call a couple weeks ago??...I gotta give him a ring one of these days...thanks again.

Billy

 

You have an awesome 4th gen there. I also think Bethany is a nice piece of work herself and am surprised...no ashamed...nobody commented on her!

 

Without fuel system upgrades, you will run lean with a FIPK and SC. At least this seems to be the case on the 3.4 V6's. I know you have the V8, but I'd image you'll get the same effect.

 

What does running lean mean?

 

Too much air and not enuf gas.
Definately not a good thing.

 

instntset-

You got me laughing pretty hard with that comment about Bethany...I forgot that was on here...but yeah, she deserves a comment or two



One of these days I gotta tell her she's been downloaded 300 times on yotatech...lol

Thanks for the compliments on my runner...much appreciated...and you are all very right on the blower/FIPK scenario...I've seen it done, but it took a bunch of custom ECU/PCM burning, and in the long run probably made an extra 10hp...not worth it at all. I'll have some new pics up of a bunch more custom mods over the next couple weeks...just been real busy, as I am sure everyone else has been with the holidays.

And instntset, next time I am around my cell, I'll pull up Bethany's phone number for ya...later guys.

Yep,can create enough heat to melt a piston.

 

Sweet looking 4th gen! What kind of wheels are you running?

 

Hey man, nice friikin ride you got. What part of Wa are you in?

 

BigBadBlue-

I grew up in Belfair/Hood Canal Area, just south of gig harbor...near Port Orchard and Bremerton. Forgive my ignorance for not checking your locale...I am not in WA much, but am around from time to time in the summers...parents reside there. Hit me up this summer and we could hook up for the trails.

Vato Loco-

They are Konig Tremor's 17x8.5's. Had em on a 99 Taco and just brought em back to life...those pics are actually pretty old...just put on 33's, moved the skid plate forward, added 10,000 lb tow hooks, etc, etc...I think the thread is labeled "4th gen w/ 33x12.5's". Regardless, I will have a bunch of new pics up soon to continue to help all the 4th gener's as well as anyone else.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Peace.

BigBadBlue-

Hey, just saw you were from wenatchee...we used to have a cabin near leavenworth on the wenatchee river...spent a lot of time riding our sleds in the hills way back...nice place.

Billy

 

Forgive my ignorance but what is the yellow battery for?

 

 

hhhhmmmmm I think those boxes are for power or a generator of some sorts, not sure Do I have one????????
Ohhhjust checked, mine Red, that means it's faster like red sports cars.

Did you relize that it is a V8 so battery placement might be different

 

The yellow top in the pic is what runs my stereo...keeps me from blinking like a disco ball when the bass hits.

Billy

 

So it is just a second battery to run sound and what not?

 

jgrimball-

Yeah, the yellow top takes care of all my audio setup...over 6k watts rms/continuous, had to upgrade the alternator, add the optima, and get a battery isolator to make everything work...hope that explains things for ya. Nice ride you have.
