well played kind sir. I will have to take a pic of my front porch and show you.....


Welcome to my house, Logan!

 

Very nice, very nice!!

btw, I scored post 200!! lol

 

page 9!!! How nice, you shared! Maybe that pineapple should stay on your rig........

 

. You get that cb mounted yet?

 

umm, no. I got like, 4 months, right?

 

Yeah yeah yeah....

 

you keepin track of your mileage?

 

yup always do. It'll be interesting to see what I get. I usually get around 16, which might not sound good at all but that includes like trips to Reiter Pit where I'm on the interstate at ~70 and then low range to hi range to low range thru all rpm ranges in the pit. If I do just interstate driving like to the Tacoma shows I'm hitting ~18+...so we'll see.

 

wow..18+ on the interstate at around 70mph!?!? that's pretty nice, do you think you'd get a little better if you had 5.29's? lol

eventually i'll go 35's on my '92 and i'm constantly asking about gearing and mileage lol

i'm 3vz though..but still curious BBP!

 

Ah yes the 5.29 vs 4.88 comparison...well, the rpm range I run(plus the other goodies I have including header, 2.5" high flow exhaust, Supra AFM, 3" intake pipe...etc) keeps me in the bottom to midway of the power band allowing less down shifts to 5th. HOWEVER, I would say that the 5.29's WOULD be better on the trail. I haven't had any problems on the trails that I would exclaim: damn I wish I had those 5.29s!!!!! Thus, my particular rig build has been for the "expeditionary" design-long huals w/payload. Besides in the beginning it WAS a dd for years.

Now, also, hitting 18 mpg is different than AVERAGING 18!!

 

Today I got in my new inlet hood which is QUITE a bit smaller than the old pineapple stove pipe snorkel stack... Not bad for $13...ish...


As you can see its screened up inside from the bottom. It's the 6" model but the next size up was 11.5" which I think would have been obnoxiously big.


Unfortunately, I basically WASTED all the 3" pipe I had but I think I can salvage just enough to put inside the stack and then attach the inlet hood. I'm liking the height the stove pipe currently is at and will probably retain that. Nice thing is that this is flexible for height.

 

That will look good. Does this mean that technically I get to add a couple days on to my cb install?

 

That looks kinda funny....I thought you were gonna take the stove pipe off first.

 

then he loses the pineapple effect. NOOOOO

 

lol, ah NO. Get to work...

Putting two tips together doesn't work...wait...you know what I mean

Yup, won't be a very inviting pup anymore

 

Well I know it doesn't work but you seem to be confused on the subject. You and Matt both.

 

For real? I wish I could ignore that comment, thats just weird.

 

whaaaaaaaat??

 

Too much time at sea, Navy boy.

 

Its never gay underway..
