Default Thank you

Thanks everyone !!!
Lance ... Let me drive her for a few more days and get you some feedback on the driving characteristics. The first thing I need to do is reduce the tire pressure, ride is a bit harsh and this will help a LOT.
As far as the soft top, I totally agree the hard tops do look better and 'finished', BUT as you said, soft top is the best of 2 worlds, I am really looking to rolling up all the windows and taking her for a cruise tomorrow as its going into the 70's.

Cant wait, more to come ....

And Steve, Camaro is looking great buddy !! I'm coming down in the FJ to see her

Cheers
Steve

And try this guys, I believe I unlocked the video

Isn't there like a huge loss just based on the tread of those tires as well? seems like I've heard that before, that off road type tires don't transmit power to dyno wheels very efficiently.

Still, with as light as that rig is, I'm sure it's got PLENTY of power...

How many miles on it so far?

Sweet! Good Number. My 190,000 mile FJ40 Towed my 5,000lb boat for quite a few years, and could pull down a house! Excellent job!

Peter ... welcome to the forum !! (and thank you btw)
You'll love it here, anything goes and the folks here are just awesome.

So Lance yes, according to my tuner the believes this motor is in the range of 450 so we are looking at a 150tq-170hp loss range.
I have to say it though, this has to be one of the most fun vehicles I've ever driven. EVERYBODY does the double take, and then you realize by the questioning look on their face they are thinking WTF is that !!
Wayne, whats funny is my mom needed a small tree taken out of her front yard so I hooked up the front 10,000lb winch last week and yanked it out ! Likely the only 'action' this winch will EVER see .. LOL

Cant wait to get her in the March show with FJ#2

Cheers
Steve
