Nope.

How many bananas?
General question....how many bananas was the installation of the original TRD supercharger kit? Any special training or tools needed?

You will need a 30 mm socket, a 32 mm socket, a chain wrench and a torque wench that goes to 309 lb-ft.
You dont have to remove the pulley, just the bolt. However it would probably be a good idea to change the crank seal since you are that close to it.
right vehicle
What would the minimum requirements for an 80 to be considered a good candidate for a SC. Example .....miles ,OEM head gasket( or not) ..........other considerations or things that should be checked out on the truck prior to considering a SC

I don't think anyone, unless they have a crystal ball, could answer this. And if you put a S/C on and the head gasket blew you just put on a new one. No biggie. Except that you don't just put the gasket under the hood and it finds its way to the correct location. Installation is a bit of a chore.
Last crank pulley bolt I had to take off...on Sunday...broke one screwdriver I used to lock it in place. Just bent the second one before letting go.
Last FZJ80 pulley/bolt I had to get off....uh yeah, ended up having the machine shop get it off for me it was so thoroughly stuck on!
Hope I have better luck next time!
3/4 inch drive breaker bar jammed against the inner RH frame rail. Bump the starter and it's done.

I like the lawyer-like vernacular here...I live for danger cannot wait to try this!
Smart though, very smart indeed!
Can't help it.

I haven’t driven my truck for a month now. I took it a spin yesterday and wow…
It felt like a sport car.

309 lb-ft actually.
It's that high because the oil pump drive gear is not keyed to the crank, the pully clamps it in place. If it's not tight the gear will slip and you will lose oil pressure and power steering assist.

Ask Romer about this after his SC install. This needs to be where it ought to be.
Yup, my crankbolt was not properly torqued and when wheeling it loosened up on me and my power steering was almost gone. The oil pressure went low. Fortunately, I was avble to stop and get the right wrench on the way home to tighten it to bring my steering back full and return the oil pressure to normal. Got it properly torqued the next day.
I have two 80's that are in excellent condition. On my daughters 80, I just improved the exhaust system to a 3" pipe and new muffler, Landtank MAF and a few other items and it runs great. Still, nothing like jumpring behind the wheel of my supercharged truck.

Hopefully soon I will have that experience...jumping into a super charged 80...already bought LandTank's MAF and ordering the new sensor from CDan. I'll have so many goodies waiting for me back in the States that it will be like Christmas...
what sensor are you talking ?
