MY first step in making the truck breathe better. Snorkle is on the list of things to make
-
Hey I threw in a 16 valve with one of those and I prob. gained about 53 horse power, so those filters Do work ;D
-
maybe I shold get a hurst shifter knob. Those are good for 20 hp. :D
-
dont forget the pedal covers that give you 15hp ::)
-
I got my K&N filter (stock airbox style) a few months back and I really dig it.
-
Ya I just installed one.
In unison with my new Calmini exhaust system, the zook really likes to go.
-
ya but if you get about 100 decals that say, "NOS" on them and thats got to be like 35 HP. and don't pick on those hurst shifter knobs, i have never had my hand slip off that shifters. but i still think they give you an edge on every one else, and mabe 5 or 6 more hps. lol o ya and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! lata stu
-
How much HP is a VTEC sticker worth? :D
-
DOHC or SOHC?
-
Don't forget that if you get a Greedy AND HKS your in for about 120hp.
-
I got my K&N filter (stock airbox style) a few months back and I really dig it.
HOW MUCH ARE THESE ...AND DO YOU HAVE ANY PICS....
-
I added one of those open air cone filters and gained 85hp. ;D
-
I added one of those open air cone filters and gained 85hp. ;D
YOU MUST HAVE GOT CHEATED I HEARD THEY ADDED 95 HP..................
-
Damn it i knew i should have bought the K&N instead of the ebay special >:( ::)
-
Ya I just installed one.
In unison with my new Calmini exhaust system, the zook really likes to go. ÂÂ
You said it, bro! That's my next major upgrade, the Calmini Exhaust System. Hopefully by April, I will have it! ;D
-
HOW MUCH ARE THESE ...AND DO YOU HAVE ANY PICS....
I bought mine off of Ebay, in fact the dude who sold me my filter still sells them on there:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33655&item=2450438870
Seeing as you already live in the State, shipping should be no problem.  I got a great deal and saved like $40CDN on my filter!
As for pics I don't have any sorry.  I really want to buy a cheapo digital camera for that sort of thing.
-
Think I'm gonna have to jump in and get the K&N when I get paid tomorrow, only 33 bucks or something like that from Summit Racing anyway. I'm sure the Paper POS that's in there isn't helping me in any way shape or form and it's due for a replacement anyway.
-
That's the beauty of K&N, they last forever...well almost. Their filters are washable and reusable. How amazing is that?
-
Yep, I have a pair of em on my 240z (nifty little 6" round individual filters) Got to get rid of the ugly orange stock air box that way too although once I convert it to EFI they won't be needed anymore :(
-
My K&N filter was just $4 more than a stock type you from the local auto store.
-
Ouch, how much was the K&N and how much was the paper one? The paper ones I looked at were maybe 8 bucks or so.
-
My K&N filter was just $4 more than a stock type you from the local auto store.
The stock paper filter at my local auto store are about $10 or so...the K&N are $74!!!!!! >:(
Thank goodness for Ebay! :D
-
A stock one for my rig runs about 15 bucks for a purolator unit. ???
-
When I went to get my stocker they wanted $27. I got my K&N for $37 2 years ago.
-
Ive watched some dyno tests at a friends shop. A K&N on a V-8 was worth 15hp over a stock filter. They both lost hp against running no filter but the K&N is definately better.
Later,
Bill

Rockyroads has them for $47.

Pfft 47 bucks?

I like 34.95 better myself.
Gotta pay shipping either way.
K&N's part number is 33-2700
Checker and Autozone want 39 bucks or so for one.

Plus you can get the Bazooka tube immitation NOS sub enclosure...that'd be good for another 50HP at least ;)

I've got the Calmini air filter in mine, combined with the full exhaust its definitely picked up some ponies ;D

wouldn't that make someone look twice walking by your zuke in a parking lot ;D
-
One way or the other it seems like the attention you'd attract wouldn't be a good thing. If they see it as a speaker they might just break in, if they think you have a bunch of fancy expensive stuff under the hood they might think about taking the whole thing to strip.
-
i hate those wanabe nos bottles. i am really thinking about little shot of nitrous, what do you think fun or no? lata stu
-
;D For you or your rig??
-
a little bottle for the tucklit, a big bottle for me! lol jk lata stu
-
Wouldn't NOS melt the aluminum block on a sidekick into a pile of molten goo?
-
NOT A ZUKE ITS ALL ABOUT H.P. ;D
-
Wouldn't NOS melt the aluminum block on a sidekick into a pile of molten goo?
i dunno? mabey! i guess i'll just have to try it out and see! lata stu
-
Ive used NOS for a long time on street cars. The kits for 4bangers is very safe. I dynoed an engine with NOS and the exhaust temps stayed the same. The big thing with NOS is make sure you keep your fuel system up in good working order. The import NOS kits can be set as low as 35hp which is plenty safe for these motors. With that small of hp you dont need to do anything with the timing or sparkplugs. If anyone wants more info give me an email and Ill tell you what you need to know.
Later,
Bill
-
this has got to be and least 50 or mabey even 75 extra Hps
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46098&item=2452184298
i wish i had the money to waste.. lata stu
-
The only problem with NOS is that when I want more power it's for going down the road. I don't think they make big enoff bottles and I couldn't afford to fill it. :o
-
The biggest improvment is a Cal-Mini
exhaust system and a big muffler bearing
good for 75 to 80 HP and 50 MPH
higher top speed.
-
What is the speed raiting of the muffler bearing??? And do you use one for each exhaust valve? Does this work with your turbo?
Also, do you use this with a free flowing baffle system?
-
You just need one, and it don't matter
what muffler you use it makes all muffs
faster.
-
I've heard there exspensive, or did you make your own?
-
Ya custom fabbed out of Titanium and Stainless Steel
-
Was it gold dipped for better contact, less resistance?
-
liltruck, I once saw a company selling a NOS bottle that was like one of those big Co2 welding bottles. With a little kit you could probably go 300 miles between fillups. ;)
Later,
Bill
-
Actually I had it Chromed, then Gold Dipped and Platinum Plated
-
I ordered a steering wheel adapter for my new aftermarket wheel.....smaller than stock so it should boost HP by 5.
Is that new muffler bearing intercooled?? ???
-
No not intercooled, it's got it's own water pump and radiator.
-
It's probaly the V8 that runs the water pump is where you get that extra power from.
-
WOW, you guys lost me. ???
-
Nope the water pump in solar powered, got to be earth friendly you know.
-
Yea, but what if the sun isn't out? Or if you want to do some night wheeling.
Are you going to have a dead muffler bearing? There's nothing worse than a dead muffler bearing. You might get a build up of back pressures and then where will you be?
-
When the pressure builds up it works like
a jet engine, I can fly higher than Mike when
the conditions are just right.
-
So it that were the accumalator comes into play??? Did you add venturys to the tail pipes?
-
Yes the accumulator feeds into the after burner
thats why I need a bigger fuel tank, at about 10
GPM one tank don't last long, It's a wild ride tho
-
With all that horsepower you have to get your truck to stop better. Get some cross drilled rotors, and some cross drilled brake lines so that your brake fluid doesnt heat up.
I just installed the engine oil bypass system, instead of routing oil through my engine where it gets dirty, It stays nice and clean, I can get about75000miles between changes now. I also got the K%N air filter bypass kit for some serious air flow.
Also for night driving, I changed my headlight fluid to halogen, I think the car is a little faster and the headlights now have that cool blue tint to them
-
Well I'm running the 4 door brakes, which work
great, and I'll be installing rear disks too, what
is the supplier for your cross drilled brake lines??
and I'm supprised you just changed to Halogen
Head Light Fluid, I'm running Xeon Head Light Fluid
and it gives whiter brighter lights than just the standard
Halogen stuff.
Engine oil Bypass huh, I'll have to look into that, at 75,000
miles per oil change I couls save lots of money on Motor Oil.
-
If you relocate one of your wipers to the middle, you can really save some $$$$$$ on only having to buy half a pair.
P.S. The crossdrilled brake line has to change as pairs so you will no have different pressures on opposite sides of the car. I almost found that out the hard way.
-
I thought these engines were good for 100,000 miles between oil changes???
You know if you grease you brake pads every 1,000 miles they'll last forever! I'm thinking of putting a grease zert in mine.
-
That's Truth on the wiper blade,
I had an 82 Scirocco, single blade, looked cool
-
what about running on just pure NOS, that should be the ultamite right? and for brakes just take one of those t-case ebrakes and but a normal disc brake caliper on it that all ya need. ::) ;D
Jacob
oh dont for get to crossdrill it!!!!!
-
OMG, crossdrilled Ebrake cables are out? I'll have to get one. I'll pick up some 1/4 mile time with all the weight savings
-
A zerk in the pad, that's old style,
route a line from the front wheel bearings
to the pads, then when you fill the front bearings
the old grease automaticaly re-greases the pads,
way more trick, and you are recycleing too, remember
Earth Friendly ;D
Pure NOS ?? Great Idea, then when I wheel at night
the after burner gets the excess and I develop 3
times more thrust ;D ;D
-
Yeah just put some spark plugs in your exhaust pipes, instant after burners thats good for 2 seconds off your 1/4 mile time atleast and 100hp bare min. also good for getting people to quit tailgaiting you.
Jacob
-
I dont like greasing pads, I know they last longer, but it looks messy, unless you get the expensive flourescent colored greese. I opted to make my own spacer kit so that under no circumstance will I at any brake pedal pressure ever touch the rotors. I might try to sell some on ebay, they work really good.
-
Some times the old ways are the best. Though I do like the braking ideas floting around.
-
Cross Drilled E-Brake cable ??? that
won't cool down my brake fluid, with
all this power I need a solar powered
Brake Fluid cooler.
-
Anybody ever ran a vacuum tube from your intake manifold to your exhaust manifold? 1st it helps to create a vacuum in your exhaust system for better exhaust flow 2nd, because you have better air flow, it keeps your muffler bearing from carboning up, hence lasts longer.
-
All cars have that, It's called an EGR :P
-
No, an EGR is too small to do any good. You need a tube, like about 2 or 2.5 inch diameter.
-
Ohh those gold plated ones, Ya that's it
They sell those for the rice racers at the
speed shop in the mall, you know the one
next to Victorias Secret, BTW what is her
secret any way???
-
her secret? Dont tell anybody but she (all of the models) has a weenie. I know, I got a date with one.
-
EUWW ...... Too much information, better
keep that one a secret, so has therapy helped
the shock of grabbing a ... Euww never mind
I don't want to know.
-
therephy helped me throwing up day and night. I still have the urge to vomit every time I walk by a guy selling hotdogs. arghh...
-
I'd figure you would get sick from walking
through the mall, by that place, you know...... :P
-
I want to install one of the sweet NOS stickers. The way I figure it I will pick up at least 100 hp and everyone will be intimidated by my tracker with this sticker installed.
-
one for the windsheild, one for the back and
one on each side = 400 HP, ya that will intimidate.
-
Or maybe I will get some chrome windshield wiper blades and I will blind the drivers in front of me while I am drag racing at the stop light and force them off the road. WHILE IMPLEMENTING MY 100 hp I JUST GOT FROM MY NOS STICKER!! ;)
-
Tomorrow I'm going to let all the air out of my tires and fill it up with helium. I should be able to loose a couple hundred pound.
Anybody hear of any carbon fibre body panels? I already have the carbon fibre ash tray.
-
Damn, You guys are cutthroat, I'm not racing you.
-
and you could tube frame you rig and fill that with helium too. You might float away though. Speaking of that what about attaching helium weather ballons to your rig if you get stuck. if you get enough of them they should just lift you right out of the mud hole right??? ::)
Jacob
-
Or what if I just get a hot air balloon like on monster garage when i get stuck. But with my super high performance stickers and crappy intakes that I bought off ebay i'll never have to worry about getting stuck.
-
I already thought of that. I'd rather just make everything out of carbon fibre though
-
if you buy the racing wing with the carbon fiber wing and aluminum brace(weight is of the utmost importance here) and mount it on your hood....but backwards so it will pull the front end up when you hit the mud hole and viola you should sail right through, mount one on the back and your untouchable!
-
Your definitly right. Or maybe if you put hydraulics in you can hop over the hole! Andrew
-
I built my front bumper like a wing,
I figure about 200 Pounds of lift at
140 MPH !!
-
Thats too intense for me to handle, id worry about my paint peeling off from such sheer speed. :o

High heat BBQ paint, works great, and you
can cook on the hood too

Yup, i'm with Zig on the Victorias Secret thing. nobody needed to know bout that. loo at how mant post their has been on the thread. over 100. and we are talking about nothing. but hey whatever floats your boat. lata stu

we should compile all this usefull information on racing/ offroading and make it into a book.... we could call it "bible for ricers". Might be a best seller

ya but where would the Victorias Secret thing fit in their? ;D ;D ;D please don't hert me! lol lata stu

Im installing a flux capacitor with double dumass fogger next week.
Mike
BTW where do I order orange blinker fluid?
-
it's usually right beside the brake light fluid. Most walmarts carry them.
-
my flux capacitor wont engage at 88 mph. my track tops out at 93. i may need nos
-
93 mph??? how'd you do it? Did you get naws? The 2 big bottles?
-
yup 93 no nos, ive been rompin on her now so i get it out of my system before she gets lifted. oohrah ontime ups delivery of my lift!!
-
That's easy. I had mine just as fast before the big tires. Now I have to read through this post and do all the good replys to this post to see that kind of speed again.
-
if you really want some speed then you would buy cal-mini's lowering kit so you and get some aftremarket shock cuz, "their gunna save us about 2 pounds, and give us better traction for the holeshot." lata stu
-
Well Mike when you get that Flux Cap online make
sure you visit the Suzuki Designers responsible for
the Sidekick, show them all the mods you have and
make sure to hit them up for the turbo Diesel or a
2.8 V6, and get all the good stuff in there as standard
equipment, Lift, Lockers, bigger tires you get the Idea
but now remember you go to get back before they get
really serious about the puny one they were going to
design, now when I buy my SideKick again in 89' I won't
have to figure all this stuff out and just be able to go
out and SideKick ass and take names on all those H##ps.
Ohh ya and run over the Consumer Reports guy that
slandered the Sammie and cost Suzuki all those Millions
of dollars and the loss of the best entry level SUV available.
That should just about set history right,
;)

I just installed that orange blinker fluid last night, boy what a difference. I also installed composite brake light pads and I can stop much quicker now. I myself was also thinking of getting a flux capacitor. I think it would be the best mod yet.

My "a dumass fogger" comes and goes. It depends if my friends along for the ride when I'm wheeling. :o

You can always install the new bazooka tube that looks like a nos bottle so when the bass hits you get a 500 shot!

Oh there is too much to put into this thread, we could go on forever with it. I think its hilarious, I'm suprised eric hasn't locked it yet! But I am looking foward to the install of my Fast and The Furious octane booster today that I picked up at VIP alone with my super cool muffler tip and other performance accesories, with all the parts I got I hope iget at least another 100 horsepower. Andrew
-
How well do you think a spoiler and a wing would work on a lifted Kick :P
Zig
-
Sadly Zukipilot, it could actually have some benefit depending where it's placed and how it's designed. It could be made to help crosswind stability as well as downforce.
It'd look pretty silly doing it though.
-
Brilliant .............. all those Cal-Mini kits that are
too stiff in the springs, well a wing in the front and
a wing in the rear, at highway speeds could soften
up the ride with downforce and not really ad any
weight to speak of, this has to be the solution
Steve has been looking for !!! at the cost of looking
like a rice racer I'm not sure it's worth the tradeoff
:P
-
A good air dam setup and some underbody venturi channels ala Ferrari could do it without being so obvious or causing any additional aerodynamic drag too.
Pop em on with some Dzus fasteners so you can take em of when you go wheeling. Nasty though it is, I have seriously considered a Dzus'd on air dam for day to day driving. It'd just look kinda funny but with all the space under the vehicles it's really a bad area in terms of aerodynamic efficiency. A belly pan would help greatly aside from being functional, but that smooth bottom surface can actually create more lift which isn't helping any.
I've got a couple pieces of an aluminum helicopter blade that are about 3 feet long from where I used to work, Flip it upside down and it makes downforce instead of lift. If it were mounted in front of the vehicle slightly before the front of the vehicle starts screwing with the airstream it could be made to work (kinda like a formula 1 car) Get a linear actuator to be able to adjust the angle of attack and it could really get fun. Again though it would look really goofy especially combined with a lift and mudders.
But seriously, how bout it Hagen? do you find the belly pan makes freeway driving any more squirrely?
-
Helicopter blade upside down ??? aren't they
using laminar style blades yet ??
-
:DI want to knowif I can put wings from a DC-9 on my rig so I can fly it like Mike Hagen? ;D
-
These were the blades from a kit helicopter that costs about 60k (maybe more now, that was back in 95 when I worked there).
The real ones use composites. (Well stuff like blackhawks, chinooks, and the other bigger helos). Not positive on stuff like MD 500/OH-6 and the Bell Jet Ranger/OH-58 type stuff, usually just works out to whatever's lightest and can do the job adequately. The ones on the Chinooks for instance use a titanium spar and then the rest of the airfoil is skinned nomex honeycomb. Has a nickle erosion cap on the tip (Makes for cool "halo' effects during a dusty night landing). They still weigh about 350 lbs composite or not. But when you consider all 6 blades working together can lift a gross weight of about 55,000 lbs between the airframe and the cargo they seem pretty light. (Nevermind the centrifugal load pulling the blade from the hub spinning at 200 RPM on a 50 foot rotor disk).
-
It'd look pretty silly doing it though.
If I was worried about silly, I would of never posted to this thread :P ::) :P ;D :P
Zig
-
50 foot rotor disk area wooh, Pi x dia \ FPS x MPH
yoww thats over 327 Miles per Hour at the tips
|removethispart|@ 200 RPM, I think I'm getting dizzy.
:P
Hey dude, no hurling on the shell, just waxed it.
{=~)
-
Why not one of thos HON - DUH type ricer wings?, Gotta put one on the front AND one on the rear on us 4 wheel drive types.
-
Yeah and it's actually closer to 225 RPM if I recall correctly.
(wee bit of rounding going on in the post)
The other nice touch is that you never approach a Chinook from the front, the front rotor blade can get as close as 4 feet from the ground which obviously will wreck your day if you happen to occupy the same space as the rotor blade at the same time.
And Natebert, you're overlooking the front and rear wings as additional seating areas since they are practically park benches.
-
Ok, does anyboby know where I can get 4 foot ground effdcts and fenderflares, 4 ft front and rear bumpers to go on a tractor?
Actually, if I would seal all around the ground effect with a rubber strip and use a lexhaust to pressurise the bottom of my truck, it would be a really cool hovercraft
-
But seriously, how bout it Hagen? do you find the belly pan makes freeway driving any more squirrely?
Squirrely? Not at all. :-/ A little more engine noise though. Very little.
Mike
-
Mike, what gauge steel do you use for you belly pans?
-
Mike, what gauge steel do you use for you belly pans?
16 Gauge stainless.

You should put NOS stickers on the belly pan for less wind resistance and extra durability.

Thanks Mike. ;D

Those type "R" stickers are good for what ?
... Another 50hp ?
:o
-
How about those "JDM" ground wires on ebay or the K&N "style" air filters, I mean those are about as good as a type R sticker don't you think, I think I should get a V-tec sticker to go across the entire side of my car!
-
I have a brand new K&N Filer sticker for sale. Guaranteed for up to 15% more HP. Says so on box. Make offer.
-
I'll trade you my nos sticker! Its good for 50hp!
-
only if it's the one that takes up the whole back window. It'll go with the NOS seatbelt pads.
-
Well, I put a K & N in one of these (390cid) and figured that it ought to be good for what....
...at least 300hp I think.
(http://www.whitepineclub.com/members/kd7hcg/Cougar/otherpics/DCP_3344%20(Medium).jpg)
Stuff one of these in the ol Suzuki and hold on.
-
I was thinking 302 ford with a c4. should be pretty light and strong. Maybe even the axles.
-
now with a K&N filter in that v8, may have to get a 16 point rollbar and a built in fire extinguishing system
-
Don't forget chutes to slow down!! ;D
-
Now to be honest there is some validity to extra ground wires.
That said, if I wanted to put some on I'd probably just get a big piece of 00 copper cable, hook it to the negative battery terminal to make a ground bus to tap into here and there for a lot less money than some of the "JDM ground wire" kits sell for. The gains are pretty minimal though which is why I haven't bothered with it.
-
OH! I though you were hooking up a cable to the hitch and conecting the other end to a pull pal to hold back all that extra power we were talking about. :P
-
You guys and Heather (is she the only lady on the board ???)
have all over looked the most potient power mod sticker
that is known in the free world, or is it the Zukiworld ???
the two are confusing as Zukiworld is the world .......
Hi my name is Wild and I'm a Zukahoic ....
OK back to the sticker, the most performance is gained
by installing a ZUKIWORLD.COM sticker on the top of
the windshield or across the hood, actually as long as it's
in plain view for all the free world to see it will enable the
user to climb verticle rock faces, ford 8 foot deep rivers,
and bog through the deepest mud, and the best part is
if you install it up high, all those H##ps can get an eyeful
as you walk away leaving them stuck, or better yet, while
pulling them out of their sorry stuck situation. ;)
As far as I know you have to buy them from Eric, three
cheers for Eric, for giving us the Best Mod of All

where do you attach the tow bar? on the water pump pulley or the crankshaft pulley for most HP gain?
-
You could always hook the crankshaft to the output shaft of a decent sized gas turbine engine. That might make for some really strange looks.

I ordered one of these. I hear they're bio degradeable and come in many colors.

that's available, and we have our site founder/moderator

I agree with wildgoody, but I wouldnt get the bumpers. I like the stock bumpers. I wouldn't mind a tube bushbar on the front though. Maybe a 6 inch diameter tubing would give my car that "serious offroad machine" look. Plus, it would never dent, even if I'm flying through the air and land nose first. Maybe if I put little wheels on the front, it wont dig into the ground when I land.
-
OK. After reading the last 3 pages of BS posted in the last two days (except for Wilds Comment ;)) I am heading over to Plateau Mental Clinic and checking myself in :P Hopefully I will have a DSL hook up in my padded cell so I can continue to fill my brain with all of this incredible information being posted to this thread.
I was going to buy some new tires for Moab, but now I have taken a secnd out on the house to buy all of the stiickers needed to be cool 8)

Hey don't forget stickers from your favorite radio stations....they're good for 5hp each...10hp if they're classic rock stations :o
-
radio station station stickers, eh? I thought the cd player gives you the most bang for the buck. I heard clarion decks give 15% more HP then Kenwood.

How about the biggest speakers you can find, put them in the pack.
Then when you get stuck, you just crank the base and the sound will help "bounce" the truck out of the stuck.  Like when you have someone stand and bounce on your rear bumper.
Hey, I might have something there ::)
-
what if you cram as many subwoofers on the bottom of the vehiceas you can?  then, you could ride on a cushion of bass like a hover craft
-
Might have to double up the shocks in the rear though.
-
no, just get some Ranchero VTEC 89000 stickers. that will do the job
-
If I get too many stickers, it might detract from the pink and purple flame stickers. That just might deduct hp in that case?
-
No scientific explanation to have too much stickers and loose horsepower because of cancellation effect. If you're not sure or you like your flame, get some things chrome dipped, and do get billet battery cover
-
Oh yeah! forgot all about the HP benefits of CHROME!
-
especially if its a chromed 8 inch exhaust tip
-
That's one thing a Tracker is short on and that's crome. That's why I've got crome wheels. Of course if you don't keep them polished it can really drag down the motor.
-
if you want crome then you missed the crome engine kit that was on ebay. it had a crome valve cover, oil pan, hood hinges and other funky stuff. i think the intake would be the biggest increse. but all the oil pan might leak enough oil out to the point where the crank won't touch it for less rotating(spell check) force. lata stu
-
Of course chrome adds weight to the vehicle. Too much chrome and you could be adding too much weight.
-
THere is always spray on chrome. Those $1.99 cans are super awsome, it's shinier than the original.
-
No one mentioned the fart can! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
That's good for at leat 3.4 HP!
-
What about spinner hubcaps? Those will defnitly get the ladies and some super horsepower!
-
SPINNER HUBCAPS!! ÂÂ
We could use thouse for inertia wheel weights on our wheels for when we hit those deep mud holes!!!

Oh yeah I'm serious, I saw them at VIP the other day
50 bucks for a set of 4 CHROME mind you spinners for a 14" wheel. Bet they are sold out by now, probably hard to keep a sweet product like that on the shelf. hahah Andrew

I've laughed more at this thread.
So anyway, if we put paddles on those spiners do you think it would help "paddle" us through those mud holes??

make sure you install a suicide knob on your steering wheel so you can spin the wheel extra fast and get all the effect from it. LOL

has anybody found strobe- turnsignals for sale, I need one. I figure, my truck is so much faster than a Jeep on the trails, I need to let them know that I intend to pass, and a regular signal just doesn't cut it.

Curb feelers are a must when wheeling. Especially with wider tires. heheh
-
My truck is too tall to worry about Curbs,
I'd call them Rock Feelers :D
-

I personally prefer hydraulic curb feelers. That way I can raise my truck up if I ever get stuck, I can put some wood under the tires. Good to have if you go wheeling alone
-
what if you blow a hydraulic line? Then you are pretty screwed.
-
not if you have all four of them on separate hydraulic lines. you can still pic 3 other corners up. But if you are not sure if your hydraulic hose is strong enough, wrap it in duct tape.
-
If ya can't duck it.....
-
You can BUILD a truck out of Duck Tape!!

I just had a great idea. For those of us who cant afford/ dont like the look of/ think it's useless but want to try anyway, instead of header wrap, we could use the sticky aluiminum foil the heating / ventilation guys use. It will keep the underhood temps low and look awsome doing it. I might wrap my intake in it so the air stays colder.
-
Why not wrap your whole car. IT would reflect heat and run all the ricers off the road!
-
well guys a guess we have to say bye to the K&N thread that we all love(well at least most of us). so if you would like i think that one more rice burner joke for each of you and then its off the water cooler. hey can we put this tread in the water cooler? then it would live on forever! lata stu

Yeah everyone knows airplane speed is measured in knots instead of miles per hour. Stupid script writers. ;D
-
hold up hold up hold up did they really make a speed 3 of you guys just messing with me?
-
If they did make one then IMDB.com hasn't heard about it so my guess would be no they didn't. (Thank goodness too might I add).
-
no, but they should make one with a riced up airplane, with big cold air intakes on the wings, lots of flashing blue lights, a neon kit, some stickers and of course billboard size spoilers on all wings and above the cockpit.
I can just picture those TYPE-R Vtec Jet engines with big shiney chrome dual exhausts.

not bad, I think I picked up 5 horses easy. Not that it makes day night difference, it's not like a new engine. I'm yet to install the stickers, maybe that will do the trick

with all the talk of high horsepower tractors, I'm thinking the diffs might not be able to take all the power. SO, what if some brackets were created to install full size 12bolt gm truck differentials into a tractor. (I'm even thinking about having a dually tracker)
The wider axles will keep the tires further out to prevent rubbing in turns. Think how much fun a 6x4 tracker would be, on 6- 33 inch tires
-
I think that you would need some serious mods to do an axel swap like that
such as window tint or a chrome shift knob...
-
and you might need a hole sh!t load of decals to pull that one off too.
-

i read this post all the way to page 7 that was when i realized that although you guys may know alot about 4x4ing you dont know jack about adding hp >:(
first thing any one who knows does is goes straight to canadian tire and buys himself a rusty walace vibrating seat cover
now i havent dyno tested the thing yet but i do know that i can match speeds with any nascar now so iam guessing that it adds at least 500 hp maybe more

No post to this thread in over 12 hrs ??? Did it finally die ??? So what is the final verdict...K&N actually increase HP or just smooth out throttle response giving the perception of an increase in HP? On that note is increased HP perceived, HP gained ;)

I was picking up some oil at AutoZone last night and noticed that they're now selling "TypeS" stickers. (No I'm not kidding either).
After all, since S succeds R alphabetically, it therefore must be better.

I'm on my way to get some TYPE-Z stickers. While out, might get some TYPE-ZZZ and a TYPE+++Z just in case.
I dont have the balls to get a Type-RSTUVWXYZ. I have to learn to drive first.
