Idaho BS thread in the PNW

As far as crawling with dual cases goes I don't think it would make a difference what engine you have. And he was comparing a dual cased 4 banger with bigger tires than his V6 auto. The V6 didn't make up for the lack of tire size, a supercharged V6 at that.

Yeah I got that. haha. I was just messing.

 

I smelled butthurt

 

4 banger haters...

 

Mark can do 80, it just takes him a little longer to get there

 

couldn't stay there uphill though..haha

 

Can you though?

 

yes actually i can still accelerate up hill...



















just have to be in 3rd gear at 4 grand haha

 

I have a hard time getting up to 60 going up the volcano here, especially with loads in the back

can't imagine how fun it is for you guys with 33's/35's/armor haha

 

What elevation are you typically at? It's amazing how much more power you have at lower elevations. haha

You are like the lightest rig here though, plus you have skinnier tires than even I do.

 

Really? I would have though Mark would be heavier now with his bumper and bed rack. Where there people inside the vehicles or was that just them loaded up with gear?

 

depends, but on the island we have 0-14,000 ft. Where I live is around 3k feet

going into town is all downhill...coming home is literally ALL uphill. haha

 

In theory yours, but the difference is probably so small you wouldn't notice, on the flipside Monte is heavier and it may pull the engine RPM down a little more making yours faster as well.


According to the internet, the 2001's Taco's are about 150-200 lbs heavier than the 96's out of the factory, pending accuracy of the documents. 01 specs are easy to find, 96's are a little harder, but supposedly those are both xtra cab, 4wds.

 

Yeah I knew it varied a lot. I have seen several 2nd gen guys that live around sea level to 1000 feet say they can easily smoke 35's on pavement without having to pop the clutch or anything, some of them even had autos, and all had factory gears and basically a factory motor. Meanwhile I can't even spin my skinny 33's with 4.88's at 4500ish feet. haha

 

WHAT?! your like at 100' haha you should have loads of power.

trust me..there is NO way ben weights as much as me..i was 5840 for the trip haha

 

I'll guess you, just cuz you have smaller diameter tires.

 

wrong..me. By almost a full truck length

 

I never did say you were. haha I think you misread what I typed...

Is that the weight with you and Jess in there and all your gear for the trip?

 

Probably cuz your so much heavier, like I said earlier, the weight probably pulled the rpm down a tad making Ben faster.
