Shoot man, just another day in the office! How about yourself??

Mornin Alex! Ahhh yes thats right, the crawl box will be a clutch saver, thatll be awesome. Now having had both the Magnuson on my v6 and a rotrex on the 4 banger, i really like the roots style that magnuson offers. Obviously it will make lower peak HP numbers, but the torque is available instantly, and thats what i love. Not to mention the whine is music to my ears lol. For an offroad truck, you probably wouldnt see much benefit from a rotrex when crawling. Where as with a maggy, the positive displacement really shines down low. Just my opinion though. Each one has drawbacks, the maggy will generate more heat when crawling, where as the rotrex has some of the lowest discharge temps of almost any blower out there. I like to think of the rotrex being similar to a big turbo with lag. Most of your power is up top so you have to wind it out to get it going. Granted, it does help quite a bit down low, but not nearly as much as the magnuson does since it sits right on top of your intake mani.

Yeah 13/14 is bad, i think thats about normal for most tacos that are lifted and have bigger tires. I can get 18 on the hwy in my v6 but it has stock tires and is lowered so i think that helps a good bit. I think the maggy would probably suit your uses better but i wouldnt expect gas mileage to go up(regearing might help some though). The premium fuel also hurts the pocket book, but i think its worth it overall for getting more power out of your motor without jumping through the hoops of a complete swap. I do agree that 200 miles to a tank is a load of garbage. I can see my gas gauge move on my truck it feels like haha. Filled up on tuesday, now im back to almost half a tank.

 

And here I sit at Firestone for a while. Did you know that if you purchased a 1 year (normal alignment warranty), you can upgrade it to the lifetime anytime within that year? The cost is the difference in what you paid ($90) and the lifetime ($200), so $110 today, and I have lifetime align. I'm doing it!

 

Happy birthday @Oldie2007

Still no computer net, so use the phone. While I was waiting at Firestone, I spied this;





Do you know how rare these are? Literally bilt by hand, one at a time. Hand hammered panels. Their own build book. Built for the Emperor!

 

Kinda cool, parts for it got to be a pain

 

Actually just read about these - parts are not a problem, if you know who to ask. And don't mind a wait. The Century has it's own little world at Toyota.

The print version was just in Road and Track: https://www.motortrend.com/news/we-dont-get-it/

 

I’m counting birds.

 

I'm watching gun videos. I have a bit of a sniffle, so I'm taking it easy and taking cold medicine, hopefully to prevent getting sick.

 

Oh lawd!!

 

I'll come, even if I'm sick. Just not fever sick.

 

I’ve gone fever sick before quit being a wuss..probably sick cause of Sunday

 

Maybe. Also, kid is sick.

 

Ahh poor fella he’s a tough kid though.

 

Yeah. Her got well enough to go on a field trip, yesterday. he was sick before and now today lol

 

It's suspicious lol.
