back to the point then
here is my new winter ride
99 rodeo ls 4wd 3.2 auto



im kinda diggin this bull bar for it with or without the lights





fixed

[bigdaddyvtec]

Id like to see the bar... I wouldnt mind a bumper for mine...

[jeffsciv23]

think it could use a lift for sure but im not feeling the 1000 that most are lol

[d-rail]

It needs the turbo off the accord to reach it's for potential

[Joseph Davis]

BTW... Where are complexes posts going???

For once it wasn't me.  He pissed a few mods.... correction, he re-pissed a few mods over thread crapping in the FS section.  I imagine it's open season on his posts again.  Why they don't just give him a week off like anyone else, IDK, he's actually somewhat decent for a week or so after a ban.

I have a trooper and have never needed a lift. Of course I dont do anything hardcore, but its been through the woods a number of time, buried to the doors in mud/snow and the skid plates have been hit a few times, but it continues to chug along without the lift.

My trooper and I have a serious love and hate relationship. Id love to sell it, but know I would miss it.

[jeffsciv23]

yeah im not planning on doing anything with it besides snow and maybe going up to the woods to go shooting

Thatsa the ONLY thing thats shitty... When fat asses chroinies did the treanny they didnt put the skid plates back on     He whined about how he had to spend a bunch of time getting them off.... I know they have quite a few... Onlyt one Id really like to get back on it is for the TC.....   But the dipshit threw them away...


Illl at some point probably go pull a set off of oone in a junkyard... But not in the middle of winter in WA.. I doubt ill ever touch anything nyways. Definately not the driveshafts... But the TC  one WOULD be nice for ptiece of mind.


Think I may shorten up the bump stops an inch and a halfr so in the rear. Good to know that the Toy/Chev bolt patterns are the same too

[bigdaddyvtec]

I was thinking about making a CAI for it and deleting gther airbox....  Not sure now if im going to... It is winter up here...  Wonder how it would respond to a 2.5" exhaust and like a flowmaster or some shit

leave the air box if you want to wheel, cai will suck up water and/or mud

Putting exhaust on it would make it a loud and annoying. those motors do not sound good with exhaust.

[bigdaddyvtec]

stock it stays then

You can still upgrade the manifold to the cat region

i was told quite the opposite when i ran a chambered glasspack by pretty much everyone that i came across

You live in a town with two stoplights, and no jobs.  Everyone you come across is related to you and doesn't want to hurt your feelings - if they know better.

census of the city income is 44k a year with 3 trailer parks in it too, there is jobs

there isn't jobs at the bottom of the rum bottle, and you spend enough time there to share stories about how that goes

Can you get one that's higher up the payscale than car washer or pizza delivery boy?  Something that would get you closer to half that $44K figure?  Because all you post up pictures of are the cheapest available canned domestic beers and cheap starches mixed with potted meat for under $2.50 a plate, so don't act like you're any better than I am especially when I don't live at home with my parent's footing the bill.

Oh, yeah, I was born with a functional brain.  Kiss my ass.

I picked up a few mpg by getting rid of the stupid air silencer box thingy. The only thing I have is the box that holds the filter and the pipe to the tb. I want to do a 2.5" ex and a better flowing exhaust...just never done it.

Last night I was going to wait for Jon to buck up to me over that, but after sleeping on it he's not worth the fairmindedness.  I'm a big fan of burning bridges.

10:34 PM me: If Banhammer Wednesday came about, who is the most deserving?
10:35 PM boostedschemes: i dont know I dont really look on hmt anymore outside of searches
  complex would be nice any time though
10:36 PM me: why complex?
 boostedschemes: are you kidding me
10:37 PM me: I want to hear your thoughts
10:38 PM boostedschemes: my thoughts are not about jon
 me: about why to ban him
10:39 PM give me the two sentence condensed version
10:41 PM boostedschemes: He is an unemployed PA townie who lives with his parents, alive only due to leftovers from making potato guns with his moms hairspray and licking the drops out of the empties his dad tosses at him. His posts rarely make any sense and generally invlove gluing a shoe to sheet metal and somehow powering it with moonshine to remove spark plugs when the obvious method is to use a wrench.
  He is also nearly your age and he's banging overweight girls your daughters age when he isnt coddling himself to sleep
10:42 PM me: lol

What is Yuriy's claim to fame?

He's angry.

The stock ex is 1,75-2 inch with some pretty shitty bends in it... It has a new cat but it (the system) appears pretty restrictive. I was thinking 2.25 with a chambered muffler... Its basically what calmini sells, but for like 450 bux. Id just take it from where the two manifolds merge and leave the new cat out  and weld it back in  when I need to do emmssions... Or just make a bolt in test pipe kind of thing....



Ive been reading and evidently it does really help them out. Just not sure what muffler to use to keep it from sounding gay...  Then agaion I dont really give a fuck what it sounds like as long as its not raspy. I dont expect it to sound like a BBC with 3"x2 and flowbees

Just keep in mind that you will probably have to have 2-3 mufflers in it to keep it close to silent. I'd go 2.5 with 2 bombs and a good muffler or 2 good mufflers. Maybe talk to a good known exhaust shop and see what they have to say about keeping it quiet. Unbolt the exhaust if you want to get an idea of how shitty they sound with exhausts on them. Its horrible. So as long as you could keep it on the silent side it would be fine. The exhausts on those things are as close to horrible as it gets. You can hear the exhaust coming out at supersonic speeds from the factory unit. kinda like a ford explorer full tilt.

I put a new exhaust on my truck...well, cat back...about 5 months ago. I told the fucks to make it exactly what was on it, and of course they put this 1.5 OD bullshit on the truck. It corked it so bad its blowing welds out at other parts of the system. I am needing a new cross section. LMK what you do. I gotta do something, and probably real soon.

and those skid plates can be a real PITA to put on/take off. they sorta link together and the bolts get all crappy. You gotta take your time putting them back on or it just complicates things.

go get some diamond plate and make your own. 

[patsmx5]

i put a thrush muffler on my trooper (86' 2.3L) after the cat and it's loud as hell. I've never put a thrush muffler on something and it still be this loud. Whenever I redo the exhaust it's getting 2 or 3 big mufflers.

fuck I hope we get serious snow this winter.

I cant wait man

[bigdaddyvtec]

Ya he was whining about that it was such a clusterfuck to take them (SKIDPLATES)  off that he didnt want to fuck with putting them back on.

THE HMT diamondplate idea is a good one... wish i had access to a bending brake.... It would make it a lot easier...  Like I said, im not reallyu worried about the driveshafts... Just the TC.  The engine is tucked up pretty well and the Oil filter is tucked up and out of the way nicely up front.




As for the muffler situation... IDK...  I like how flowmasters sound... Maybe a Cherrybomb and a flowbee... 2.25"  I dont see it needeing 2.5, nor it helping the rasp.


Fucking thing is a GREAT TRUCK. iM A FAN.

[bigdaddyvtec]

Other than this guys tires hitting and suspension sounding like its going to fall off... I could totally live with this


Shit IF I get sick of it the stereo is definately loud ednough to turn up and drown it out, but its pretty mild... I dont want to do duals... Im thinking just pick up after the y poipe gfo 2.25 into the flowmastrer 40 series and 2.25 out the back.
