Colorado B.S. Thread

I had a good laugh at the nuttiness.

 

At this altitude you can run a supercharger on most 3.4l engines without the need for fuel mods. It will not run lean enough to cause any worries. Even in Moab I have never had an issues with lean out out excessive knock.

I will say the vehicle does run better with the fuel mods installed. Running the AFR closer to 12 to 1 really wakes up the response. Also having the ability to take out a couple of degrees of ignition advance really helps.

I would worry about running e-85 on stock injectors with a supercharger. You get to the point where you can't give the engine enough fuel with gasoline let alone e-85 where you need 20-30%more fuel volume. If you build a fuel system around e-85 with correct timing maps you could get more power over gasoline.

I don't like e-85 though because it directly cuts into food costs due to being based off of corn. It is ineffective as a enviromental savings because of the low yield of product from the crop and the damage that the crop causes to the soil. A crop switch is need to be effective. With the current offerings of american e-85 we are causing more damage then good. Use switch grass or other forms of efficent plant matter and there would be a benifit.

 

hahahaha! I really need to get a new otterbox so I can see what i'm writing..... At least this time that's my excuse.

 

If anyone's looking for a first gen, there's a pretty clean one down here for a good price. 121k miles, auto, TRD. Few little dings but still nice. Frame looks good. I'd buy it if I wasn't looking at getting a 2nd gen.

 

Yeah I was just posting a general comment to the day's shenanigan's on the thread. I was traveling all this week and read through 5 pages last night in the hotel room to get caught up.

For everyone here TGIF!!!!

 

Safe travels, Gramps

 

Thanks Ray. Got home tonight and relaxing now with a bottle of wine!

 

Hey I need some help. Im designing my tire carrier. I looked up the width for the duratrac's 285 75 16 and it says it's at 11.3" Is that pretty accurate? Basically what my question is the width for the tires I was thinking about making it 12" in the the tire carrier. Would that be to big or should I narrow the width to about 11.5". Anyone one with more experience then me on this size tire throw out your .02 on how wide I should make the tire carrier.

 

I would go 12" because you never know what the future holds for you in tires. Are you gonna run the tire straps too?

 

Right back at you!!!!

 

I just found out I will be moving to England. I don't think I will be taking my DCLB Prerunner. Do ya'll think it will be hard to sell a 2wd in CO?

It is an 06 with 135xxx mi on it and blue books at $10.5K. Do you think I could get that here?

 

Yes I'm going to run the straps. But I'm also going to try and make some kind of brace that I can run through the wheels and lock down.

 

Then you should be fine with 12".

 

12" it is. Thanks Gramps

 

Won't the weight of a tire mounted shatter pvc?

 

oh my....

 

You guys are nuttier then a squirrel turd.

 

I much prefer the Pinon nuts....er deer droppings to the occasional squirrel turd.

 

Nah.
