  1. It's a box my buddy made with a bigass ports 3" tuned to mid 30's. Around 33-34. I'm thinking about selling it quite honestly and buying the SA-12 because it dims the damn headlights and is kinda annoying. If I got the sa-12 I could keep the 4AWG wire and not have to worry about getting new stuff. We can just take the top piece off the box and recut another piece of wood to fit the 12 and be set. 

  2. Whats up ya tweakers. I've been gone for quite sometime, I know. In that time I have acquired a new skill. Getting sound tickets in the Walmart parking lot. How? Well, I now have a Sundown Audio U-15, Soundqubed 2250 amp, Cheap ass Rockford 4 channel amp running to the door speakers and rear speakers.. 4 Gauge wire running to both amps. This thing slaps like Chris Brown on Rihanna  ok. This thing will induce bowel movements. I've set off alarms with this thing. It is no joke. Ladies like it too ? if ya know what I mean.

  3. So I've been driving her a little hard for a couple weeks and I've noticed something. At idle, I can hear a faint ticking but not when moving or accelerating. When I rev the engine up to about 2.5k, as its going back to idle, it sputters like pa pa pa pa but really fast and sometimes when I come to a stop it'll idle really high around 1.5k. I just got the oil changed last night, conventional 5w30 cause I'm a frugal mf'er. Any ideas?

    Danger! Danger!

     

    I got super stuck in a puddle that looked almost exactly like that except it had a drop going into it and it took a gigantic John Deer tractor to pull me out.

     

     

    Hahaha yeah this method is the most fun but it can also be the most painful.

     

    I’ve punched it thru stuff I shouldn’t have been anywhere near to the cheers of everyone there and it felt amazing. In fact it was such a rush that I am likely hooked for life.

     

    BUT

     

    Then I’ve absolutely DESTROYED (sucked water into the engine and killed the bottom end) my vehicle by just going for it thru what looked like a shallow mud hole but turned out to be 4’ deep at the bottom of the ruts..

     

    My advice to you AlabamaDan if your going to start off-roading (and forgive me if you are already experienced and don’t need advice!) is to get out and check the depth EVERY SINGLE TIME! Even if it looks like a puddle, my friend, what looked like a puddle has ripped my QX4 a new arse more than once!

     

    Also awesome video!

    Yup. What he said^ lol. Thats what I mean by good stories from the yeehaw method. Although, on my YZ250, the yeehaw method works everytime!

    The best way to describe it is... gritty.  It is more dry than moist but it is denser than cake.  My grandmother used to make it in a cast iron skillet and we'd take it warm, smear it with butter and drizzle home-farmed honey over it.  (mouth watering right now)

     

     

    Hell yes!!! Brings back memories

  6. I relate to the lightbar wind noise. Next time you come to that water crossing, yeehaw that QX4 harder than any soccer mom that's 30 minutes late to their kids practice and see what happens lol. I tend to have luck when I take that approach. Got some good stories about it too

  7. There are a few good write ups on this. If you're wanting to turbo the 3.0, its 95% fabrication which will cost you about the same or more depending on what materials you use (Turbo, piping, inter-cooler, injectors etc.). The VG33 swap is your best bet in this situation. A plus with the 33 is a good engine especially if you're wanting more power and it's a good motor to add power too. 

    Here's a link to a good deal of info on the VG33 :

  8. Somewhat unrelated, Could you use larger fuel lines in an effort to increase performance? Obviously that means you'd have to possibly mess with the timing and such but just wondering. Not that I'm wanting to do it, just popped into my head

    The rear window on mine is roughly 20" tall, 55" along the bottom, 47" along the top. The sticker might just fit if you scoot it down a little, but it might be obscured somewhat by the spare tire, not to mention blocking your view out the back. I also imagine the rear wiper would chew it up eventually. What about the rearmost side window on the driver's side? No wiper, no tire, and it's not blocking your view of anything.

    Edit: Side window's way too short, nevermind.

    Yea I went out and measured it, the wiper hasn't been an issue with my American Flag/Pledge decal and I rarely use it anyway. I'm not concerned with the view either really. I'm about to gopher it and see what happens

    I actually measure the back window for a decal for my business and it as I recall isn't 4 foot wide. I would go with the smaller 25 inch decal. FYI, RHEC! Damn straight !

    They don't have a 25 one. You can do 20x5 or the 48x11
