The entire drive-train has inertia. The engine has inertia, the transmission has inertia, the driveshaft has inertia, so does the differential carrier. That inertia allows for the peak instantaneous torque to be much, much higher than the continuous torque.

Seems effective, but that’s gotta be pretty hard on the axle shafts and spider gears. Wouldn’t surprise me if he eventually grenades his differential doing that.

What does it sound like from the outside?

I’m so bored of Cummins swapped vehicles. They’re getting to 350 Chevy levels of ubiquity and are just losing their cool to me.

Well that answers my question in the other post on how it shifts. Sounds fast and crisp. The last LX car I was in with the 8-speed shifted really soft and slowly, even when WOT.

Harley’s just have absolute 0 appeal to me. I don’t want an outdated air-cooled pig that has to turn cylinders off at idle on a hot day, just so the engine doesn’t overheat at a stop light.

How’s the transmission shift? Fast, crisp?

Something I really give the Challenger engineers a lot of credit for is the engine bay packaging. Everything is laid out nicely, all the wiring is hidden and tucked away. It gives this really nice unobstructed view of the engine without a mess of wiring and hoses everywhere. So many performance cars seem to miss this…

Who makes the engine, S&S?

I was about to ask what kind of post you’re doing to get that film look in your photos, then I saw you’re actually shooting film! Awesome! What film did you shoot there?

I think it’s the door not having the stripes making it look extra hoopty like.

I could never get a city to last in SimCity 4. No matter how hard I’d try, I’d eventually max out my loans and run out of money. I had no issues at all running successful cities with SimCity 3000 or Cities: Skylines

There was a poll on an Alfa forum and something like 30% of the users had their car randomly go into limp mode or shut off.

Tj Wranglers had rot problems all the way up until 2006. My father’s 04 just had the lower control arm bracket rot right off driving down the road.

I’m sorry but the LandCruisers certainly do have the same rust issues the Tacomas had. As did the U.S. Market hiluxes and 4Runners. I have an FJ62 sitting in my yard that needs a frame. A friend of mine runs a LandCruiser repair operation and he has a giant pile of FJ62s and 80s that have severely rotted frames.

Sorry, not wrong. Shocks are pretty much spent by 80,000-100,000 miles. They still work, but not well. You just don’t notice until they nearly completely fail.

I’m sorry but just because you didn’t notice any problems with the suspension, doesn’t mean it didn’t need suspension work. Shocks only last ~80,000-100,000 miles before they start seriously degrading (they don’t need to be leaking to be bad). You just get used to the suspension getting gradually worse, so you don’t…

I just picked up an Aisin (oem) timing belt for a Toyota 1UZ V8 from RockAuto for $160. Came with new belt, water pump, idlers and tensioners. Every single part was either Aisin, NSK, NTN or Koyo

All 2UZs share the same rods.

4Runners and Tacomas both have fully boxed frames.
