Katie, please throw that beast on a Dyno and lets see what it's doing as far as horsepower and torque at the wheels.

Hey guys, Katie Here!

New job - argh - been working a lot.... We work 12 hour shifts and I have been working a lot of doubles as of late. I work as an RN in a burn/trauma unit.
Job is going well - making lots of money, but I don't have time to spend it...
Thanks for looking out for me guys!


Reason for selling the modified 4runner... well, it had some rust issues... it was 2wd after all.... and well, if you want to know the truth, I wasn't very happy with the power..

I don't know if I shouldn't say this on the board, but - I am driving a **gasp** stock 95 YJ **gasp**. I honestly and truly feel that the stock 4.0 in the Jeep has tons more torque than the 3.0 Toyota - I do prefer to work on the Toyota, but it wasn't cutting my minor need for speed... I still have 2 yota's in the stable, but they will be moving out shortly -- I will still look for them and work on them and sell them, but the 3vze is done for me - I would like to try a 3rd gen and see how that stacks up....

I will not own another Toy automatic either... no problems with them, just sucks the power right out of it...

Anyways, I'll get off my soapbox and I am sure I stirred the pot a bit here, but that's life

Kat

TNR- whats the latest with your HG - I havent been around here too much lately


forgive my ignorance - your talkin about the new taco's and 4runners?

I feel that the new toyota vehicles are all a little pricey - dont get me wrong you get what you pay for and I know they are good vehicles, but dang...

black diamond - I always wanted one, and so far I like it -- lift is in the mail, as well as the SYE, cv shaft, rims, tires, shocks, etc

not a base hospital - it is a city hospital -- yea, it gets long but it is soo busy that time actually goes by pretty quick and now and then we have to hit a red bull -- what are we to do when there are not enough nurses to cover it all? we usually get 36 hours off if we do a double...

Save up all your OT and lue-days and take the reading week/march break month off so you don't have to deal with all the loco kids...
