I dd my Colorado, and I think I have more fun in that than my dmax :rofl:
Race people all the time, 2nd gear pulls to 100mph and its seen 130 a few times from the furious 5 cylinder fury.
Dmax engine in the bed makes it ride a little rough tho :/

I drive a 95 camry with 197k on the ticker. It has deer damage everywhere except the back. If I get home before dark I will get pics. I have lost the hood off of it twice on the way to work. It gave up its timing belt on the way home last week, so the truck is picking up the slack. I drive down to the river(35 mi.) take my boat across (3mi.) And hop in my 90 Volkswagen fox for the remainder of the trip (2mi.) The fox almost got washed away in hurricane Irene, it was backed up to a parking bumper with the ebrake set, and was moved across the bumper and turned around afterwards. The inside is still full of broken glass, and it has 3- 14" wheels and 1- 13" but she just keeps running.
You mean to tell me that the big 1.0L doesn't out run your dmax?!
hey hey, its a 1.3 :roflmao:. the sj410's come with the 1.0 in them
Oh, well that makes all the difference then! :roflmao: My buddy had an SJ410 and I just assumed they had the same engine. What kind of horsepower does that 1.3 put out?
haha mine puts out 66hp stock at the crank from factory. the 86-90s only made 60hp. Basically i gained flat top pistons from the factory. Its now bored .040 over, shaved the head as much as possible and has a torque cam in it so id guess its got somewhere around 70hp max. little sucker will still do 70-75 on the highway with 35s though but i chalk that up to me spending a bunch of time on a gearing calc. im running an earlier trans with a taller 5th gear, 6.5:1 t-case gears which actually reduce high range by 20% over stock, and 5.29 gears in the axles. at 70mph im turing 4200 rpm and getting 20mpg
I'm totally going to win this! Looks like hell but runs great, hauls Duramax motors like a champ too. :thumb:

I thought for sure I was gonna win this one but you, sir, have beat me in the beater competition
Ok you are the winner hands down at least 3 differant colors and it has a d max and a cherry picker in it.I just want to add that i have removed the passengfer seat of the cav before and put an Allison in the pasenger side and i had a mazda trans in the truck at the same time.It looked really cool like it was lowered:rofl:I'm totally going to win this!

Good God, how many donors did it take to make that? :roflmao:
Did you go out on a late-night parts hunt through the local neighborhoods?
Shop at the local junkyards with a hangover (or while drinking)?

Haha. I have a bunch of them as project trucks. This one is the beater/parts hauler and keeps getting bashed into by idiot drivers and I just keep using spare parts to fix it.
It's name is Tina, because it is black and blue and beat to hell...like Tina Turner.
Heres my beater. 94 tracker 5speed 4x4. Turning into a toy kinda. Lol Welded new floor thru whole thing, made rockers and have a bunch of stuff to finish. Its has combined 6in lift and 31x12.50s, soon to have yota axles front and rear, lockers, 4links and 35s.
