When you’re that far into a motor, it’s really trivial to pop the heads off and put forged rods/pistons in.

I really don’t understand engine builds like this. Not the Prius part - the Hellcat engine part. He purchased a Hellcat engine, ripped off everything that made it a Hellcat (the IHI Twin Screw blower, the electronics, the fuel system, etc..), put a 4.5L Whipple super charger on there, and changed everything else. It…

The first (and 2nd gen to an extent) Rav 4s were awesome, plucky go karts of a vehicle. Small, yet roomy and super practical with a clean design. The current Rav 4 is bulbous bloated monstrosity.

Uh yeah, considering almost every street legal dirtbike for sale today is around 250CC or smaller. The only two exceptions being the DRZ 400 and the KTM. There’s the KLR650 as well, but that bike is a low-powered heavy monster and the the CRF450L will stomp it into the ground speed and power wise.

My insurance for my CB750 is $70 year. Full coverage brought it to maybe $400/yr.

There’s nothing wrong with a Duramax, or a 7.3 powerstroke, or really any diesel engine. A cooler motor would have been an EFI’d AMC 360 V8.

The Cummins Turbo Diesel is literally the lazy’s man’s custom diesel conversion. Everyone who diesel swaps does a 4BT or 6BT. The Cummins B series is just as boring and unoriginal as the SBC.

Overall great build, but a few complaints:
- Kinda disappointed with the radius arm front suspension. A proper 4-link, or even a 3-link would have been better IMO, especially given the caliber of the build.
- That gas tank is just ridiculous, especially without any real armor. I know this thing will never be used…

Yeah, but as far as motorcycles go, the Honda CBs were ubiquitous.

As someone who just picked up a ‘76 CB750F, I approve:

The original Honda CB series motorcycles are ubiquitous as far as motorcycles go. They were one of the most, if not the most common motorcycle of the era. They’re still easy to find to this day.

I swear I’ve seen like 3 “world’s first monster truck front flips”. I was even at Monster Jam 3 or 4 years ago at Foxboro and saw the “first monster truck front flip” in person. Then I saw a video of the “first” front flip at a different place like a month later, and then again a year or two after that.

Well I said 62 Series Land Cruiser, which isn’t the same thing as a ‘62 Land Cruiser.

The design of an interior can be spartan without the interior itself being “uncomfortable”. Why don’t you go look up the word your own definition uses to describe spartan - austerity.

It’s freaking genius honestly! Tesla has figured out that they can avoid all of their interior quality complaints by not having an interior at all!

Yeah but 95% of the time you’re driving this car, you will not be doing 250 MPH. You will be sitting in traffic, steering at the stupid pipe sticking out of a flat piece of plastic.

He didn’t say it didn’t have any features or options, he said it’s spartan - which it is. This isn’t “clean” design. Something like a 60 or 62 series LandCruiser is a “clean” interior design.

Because they can just repo the car and sell it again. They can do that over and over again forever. There are some cars that have been repo’d and re-sold 3-4 times.

I agree that must be the issue. They probably tried to make the sticker shock smaller by packaging a ton of stuff together to make it a better value, including the TOD transfercase. TOD transfercases require the front end to always be engaged.
