Good! I thought you were staying in Texas? We are in Hawaii now, coming back to Washington for Christmas and New Years tho. How you and the fam fairing in Alaska?

Just build a fence at the top of every trail and you will never need them winch controls Kyle! :redneck::redneck::redneck:

And I don't agree, an electric motor makes it most torque at zero rpm of course but that is when the motor is started and making its attempt at accelerating from zero rpm. You yourself stated that Horsepower is simply another way of saying torque at rpm so if Horsepower is based off of...

Holly wah! I was figuring this was just gonna die out since it was a re-post!

It was stated in the PSD vs. Cummins thread. And I was graciously asked to open another thread to debate torque versus horsepower rather than pollute the original thread. My apology if this is a repost. I don't come to NWW everyday and apparently missed this debate. Whatever, let this...

Alright, lets have at it. Its been stated that Horsepower is the real answer to all engine performance and that torque is not a measure of anything. And that two engines of equal horsepower will tow the same regardless of torque as long as the weight and gear ratios are the same...

you are the one who started posting the horsepower equation, so it is perfectly relevent to the discussion. Your own statement is a perfect example of why this is relevent, "If the Toy had the same RPM range then it would tow as well but we all know it has a much more limited power band."...

Seriously? Do some of you even read your posts before hitting submit? "they all make power in the exact same rpm range" REALLY? Looks to me like the CTD makes its peak torque 500 rpm lower than the PoS. Is it just me? "Horsepower is the measure of work, torque is bullshit" REALLY? Well how...

Just hack a plastic barrel in half for your "shoe". They work great, slide nice, not too heavy. I built a winching contraption for my old boss a few years back to drag deer up out of a canyon that he always hunted, it was the "deer snatcher 2000".... just run cable thru lid of half drum...

IMO, a good life lesson would have been "ok kid we should have told you when you dropped it off, but you should have disassembled this thing prior to bringing it to us. How bout we split the difference and call it $50 plus tax?" That would be a fair "life lesson" not "f you kid we did nothing...

Like I said I talked to the head machinist and he was sorry, but he blamed the front counter people. He said that they should have outlined to my nephew that he would get charged for disassembling the head, but, they didn't. And that is the problem, not the actual charge, that they did alot of...

Yeah you or I know how to deal with this type of stuff, he has no experience and doesn't know any better. Update: talked to Dave the head machinist and he never talked to Derrick, only the counter people actually talked to my nephew and they "should have" told him there would be extra...

Which would have been fine if they would have told him, IN ADVANCE!!!! Thats the problem, not what they did, but doing it with out telling him there was going to be a charge.

I just wanted to let you know that the NAPA machine shop on 96th and Pacific in Tacoma that was recommended by a fellow wheeler here on the site is not recommended by me! I sent my nephew there to get his head skimmed on the recommendation of this site. They say $29.95 to skim a head and since...

The phone works both ways buddy! Update, nephew blew head gasket on his way home, so more work on hold til that is done.

Got rear end done after a near death experience with no shocks on a test drive!!!! Found out that the RockStar gives no love when driven without shocks!!! Bad CALL!! Got narrowed spring and shackle hangers in and got some proper shock mounts on. Got front driveshaft closer to being done and...

Right on! My nephew bought it from Cam. Fact Cam just left here about an hour ago and should be back here in about ten minutes or so. Small world, eh? Should be a fun little wheeler, as Daihatsu junk blows up we shall be toyota'ing it.

Well, my nephew got himself a Daihatsu Rocky for next to nothing and then picked up a Toy axle at the swap meet. So, he's a pretty good kid that hasn't had the best childhood, so I try and give him as much support and positive influence as I can. Yesterday since my roll cage job never showed...

Ooo, ooo, ooo I love this argument of buggies vs. everything else! Now, first off you are stepping away from the fight changing to "well built rig" that can mean a Toyota on 60's with alloy shafts on 35" tires and other bits to make it unlikely to break.... or a buggy.... or whatever else meets...
