50+ thread

My truck runs great especially on a 8psi tune and has plenty of power just not enough when you're driving into 50 plus mph head winds !!

 

I hear ya. I hate those winds especially a head wind.

 

I would like to put a 3UZFE 4.3 Lexus V8 in my Tacoma then put a supercharger on it . nothing like 600hp in a 3500lbs truck !!!!

 

While I was on the 215fwy I watched a couple semi trucks being blown around and stayed as far away as possible . One was what looked to be a empty fuel tanker and he was up on the wheel trying to keep from being blown off the road

 

Then you couldn't keep the ass end down...but it'd take a headwind!

 

And I hate the 215. Not much on the 15 either but atleast there's more room to pass.

 

Years ago I had to do some flight hours. Winds were coming up and it as not to bad. Came back and winds were at the edge or over flight ability parameters.
I was lucky it was right down the runway.
I landed like a helicopter with very little ground speed. I'm playing with the throttle and the rpm's are almost cruise. After I was down I had a lot of throttle just to taxi. I was able to taxi on the rear mains with the nose wheel off the ground. It takes a lot of power to fight the wind. My vw bug would slow down at full throttle heading into the wind...lol

 

1UZFE powered Tacoma and it sounds sweeeeet !!! , imagine Mike working on a V8 transplant Tacoma !!!

I know you could its just that I had experienced a few hard landings while on Active duty in the Marines . All were Marine helicopters such Uh-1 Huey and Ch46's , they are a result of hydraulic failure

Meet Dusty, a 2 year old red tabby, abandoned at a pasadena apartment. Very playful and affectionate. we are adopting him and to celebrate, we are cutting his balls off.

 

One incident was at MCAGCC 29 Palms in 1983 and on a CH46 flying body bag . Took off loaded with Marines and then 5 min into the flight we had rear engine failure and hydraulic failure . Let's just say the landing wasn't textbook or smooth

 

Damn Andy that didn't take long! Now about those other 99 cats.. Be careful I did mention cats were evil!
