And specs too...
I'll start
1984 Toyota Landcruiser BJ60 diesel. 5spd stick. 33" allterrains, winch, custom front bumper, airbags (for rear lift) and in desperate need of a lift kit. Looks like a piece of shit (literally) station wagon... But I love her.

1988 Ford Ranger. Not your everyday Ranger though. Got a list of mods a few pages long. lol. Here area few.

5.0 with gth40p heads, roller rockers, cam, intake, holley 650dp, msd ignition, summit fuel cell and batteyr relocated under bed, t5 5 speed, 8.8 out of a explorer. OK. Thats enough naming stuff off for now unless somebody wants more info.





Got Rubber?

'92 Dakota. Under 80k miles, 318ci 5.2 v8, 14mpg, runs like the '04 accord, good for snow drifting,,, Only bad thing about it is that the rpm gauge is defective and it had to be disconnected because it was draining the battery. It's hard to hypermile when there's no rpm gauge. I put a glasspack on it too. Sounds pretty damn good, although my friend has dual magnaflows on his ford (which he worships) and it sounds better... Whenever he talks about his truck, which is all the time, I say hwo much did you spend on it? He'll say like 1000 and I can proudly say I've spent $25 on my truck for the glasspack and muffler clamps.

I could get a cool car like a Camaro, but I like to have a nice running vehicle and I'm scared if I got a different car it would run like crap.

Trucks FTW! My rig has about 527000km on it, runs like a top. That's toyotas for ya.

Some guy got to 2,000,000 miles on his 1966 Volvo back in 2002. He has a 125 mile round trip commute. Guy puts well over 50k on it a year.

Just FYI, this thread already exists. Not that there is any harm in another one!

First is the 2005 Land Rover LR3 (and yes, that's my photo taken on my parents ranch in eastern Montana)


Second is my toy:
2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie Quad Cab 5.9 Cummins, 4" stainless exhaust (kitty ran away), SMarty Programmer, Quadzilla X2 Race, AFE PG7 intake, @450HP at the wheels, 900 ft-lbs TQ.

Question. Why does your 5.9 produce 450 and all the newer 5.5+ engines produce well over 300, and my truck only makes <250?

Because it aint stock!!! Like I said, its my toy....The day I drove it off the lot, I pulled over 25 yards out of the lot and put the first programmer on it.
BTW, That's 450 real HP, not "rated" as you see on most vehicles. Mine stock was rated at 325, but on a Dyno, it would only put down about 260-270 at the wheels.

[Metallover]

How do I make my rated 230hp go up to over 300? 400?

You're talking the 5.9 gasser in your Dakota, right? To get to 400 in that would likely need a full performance build, including a stroker to increase displacement. The 5.9 Cummins can get there almost with only a programmer.
