Got boost?

(totally agree).  And oh, I hate those posts on wakeworld...yet for some reason, I can't get enough of them?   Another one of those little mysteries, I guess.  

We'll have some phatty Yota pics up there. Let me know when you post, I'll follow. We'll dominate the next "pics of your rigs or somethin" with nuthin' but yotas...and make all those kids driving around in their ugly flourescent green boats and jacked up Chevy's with flames on the side jealous.

Have you ever noticed that the hottest chicks drive (and I quote) "jacked up Chevy's with flames on the side"

[phenom_1819]

Oh...not in Seattle!! The hotties here drive Bimmers -- more drink holders for their latte's. Just wait 'til they see all the cup holders in my Epic...  and this pic of me playin' drunken' pickleball...

Oh, IT'S ON...

You know the Sequoia's got TEN cupholders. And that's without the aftermarket upgrades....

Plenty of room for latte's and scones and your drunken mess.

Derek- you're gonna be stoked about those suspension air bags. WOW. I put my boat on the trailer last night, and it was an awesome experience -- no doubt. The 4runner now tows better than the folks' Suburban...the bags make all the difference in the world, and the truck feels a lot safer now at highway speeds.  You almost forget there's anything back there...and the boat is no longer in control.

But you don't care about that. You just want to know how it looked, right?  Completely level.  Looked so awesome...I'll get pics up this weekend.

And for anybody looking to get a set, you can pick up the bags for only $80. The install is relatively easy for anybody with automotive experience (which unfortunately, I don't fall under the category of).

Highly, highly recommended.

Cal, put them on this last weekend. Despite having to disconnect half the rear suspension components, it was all simple and straightforward. And fun.

Following the directions, I put 10psi in there and the truck (unloaded was a stinkbug with the butt in the air. Dropped them both down to 5psi and it looks good, but maybe still a little higher than stock.

Was a little concerned that they wouldn't have enough capacity to really take care of the boat load, but not anymore. Plenty.

Under $100 and part of a day. Sweeet.

Derek- pics of the supercharger I promised you. I apologize for how dirty my engine compartment is...I think it might be time to divert some of my energy towards cleaning the 4runner next weekend.  This is from above.

[phenom_1819]

In the pic above, the supercharger is obviously the blob on the right-side top of the engine, with the belt attatched.  Note the plastic trim piece in front of the engine had to be cut slightly...that is the only modification that has to be done and the thing drops right in and bolts on.  I didn't do it...but so I hear.

Here's another pic. In this pic, the camera is just above level with the top of the supercharger.  Note the charger doesn't sit above the engine more than an inch or so (if at all).

NEVERMIND.
***PETE: I BROKE EPICMARINE.COM. IT WON'T LET ME UPLOAD PICTURES, SAYS THE UPLOAD FILE IS TOO FULL.

Weird, I was just thinking yesterday about adding an aftermarket intake as I was looking at all of the electrical components on our rough-idle ing motor... then I thought: I better not...

Does anyone know if I can add airbags with leaf springs? My truck sits like an english bulldog with the other Toyota behind it.

...I like the sound of that-with the other toyota behind it.
