The “My Back Hurts” Thread

I love to stomp on the gas in my truck. These 4.0s are hella quick for there size

 

Agreed. But we need to make them last...can't just say, "oh its a toyota, it can take it." Everything wears out...the harder it spins the more it spins, the faster it wears....

 

232k miles on my truck.... Sum bitch still fast

 

lol, the other day after it rained i hit a slick spot/puddle, bounced off the rev limiter while spraying muddy water all over a nice Mercedes, than caught the pavement and launched through the circle... it was hella fun

 

i hate loosing traction in my truck. its too easy to get to the point where you loose control. i grew up driving fast cars with great traction and i totally lost control trying to be a badass in the rain while turning left at an intersection. i ended up in the trees. no harm to myself my truck or anyone else but it was definitely a reminder that i wasn't driving my dads audis anymore

 

Because the guy before you babied it....mine is at 41k it was only babied for 24,900

 

I was keeping up with a new v6 camaro the other day and I could tell he was stomping on it because he had a some kind of custom loud exhaust, so I'd say my 4.0 is pretty quick, probably just cuz it's new though

 

I run circles around f150s and 1500s and I ate many ricers in my prerunner. Dtlt long tubes and afe CAI.

 

I could tell you all kinds of stories but i'm not disrepecting the tw COC


And Matt, i have hit some huge puddles in my day....one i hit at about 40mph with my right side tires only....and i swear it threw water at least 25ft in the air and on possibly on the log truck behind me

 

That's sick, I wanna get some engine mods some time in the future but I just gotta get the money.

 

I enjoy my 4x4 more. Eventually I'll do engine mods again but I'm having fun building it up for off-road

 

yeah, going fast is fun but its not for me. Only performance mod i might do is if a ever blow up my v6 is getting a 4banger and throwing a small turbo on it, but only if it can match my V6 performance wise

 

I'll swap a 4.7 4runner engine or the fjs v6 in at some point. The fj 4.0 v6 has dual vvti

 

So does the 5th gen 4runner

Good bit more power too

 

Had no idea that the 4runner did. But the dual vvti makes a big difference over our single vvti

 

my thing is getting a motor with torque. i dont care if i cant max out my speedometer, as long as i can hit 90 ill be happy. hence the 4banger turbo, will be all torque and no HP, along with a good amount of weight savings.

 

Yup had one... Buy pre 2013 if you can...so that you can avoid the completely retarded smog pump

 

i love wheeling but i also love flooring it on my way out to the big trips

 

id probably buy the earliest dual vvti engine i could find

 

driving it fast is the best way... the sticker says Toyota RACING development.....
