That's how a truck is suppose to be. 15" wheels with massive tires ftw

Vince, have you ever shut off a pump for someone on their cell phone? Happened to me once, I wasn't happy.

you should have sprayed him with your gas hose, see if he keeps smoking then

Wow. I might have to stop by with my portable hard drive.

The schooling you are required to take isn't that cheap, last I heard (a couple years ago) it was 6 or 8 grand, also you won't find anyone that will insure you until you are 23, and even then some places may turn you down until 25. I've known people to get LUCKY and get in earlier, but it's rare. It's a stressful job, if you ever have road rage tendencies I would suggest against it, but it depends on what kind of driving you are going to be doing. Local farm stuff wouldn't be bad at all since you won't be in high traffic areas, and you would be home most if not all nights. If you go over the road, keep in mind that you will be gone for several weeks in a row out of the month. It sucks not being able to see your friends and family for that long. Other drivers tend to have some sort of disrespectful attitude towards truck drivers, or they are too dense to respond sensibly. I knew a guy that used to drive that said he got in a wreck (that he was cited for) because someone had been in his blind spot for several miles before he decided to switch lanes. Never even knew the car was there. There are also people that go road rage against trucks because they are going slower, even though in some states, like Ohio, the posted speed limit for semi's is lower than for passenger vehicles (which is an unsafe law, IMO). There will be times when you find yourself overloading or driving longer than you are legally allowed in order to make it somewhere on time, because your pay generally is based off of either how many miles you go or how much weight you haul. You don't want to get caught overweight or with a logbook thats not true, both carry heavy fines. Also, if you have CDL it doesn't take much in the way of tickets to lose your CDL, even if you get ticketed when only driving a car. The positive sides are that you get to see the country, and you have a lot of freedom. If thats what you are into, then great go for it, but this is a job that's definately not for everyone. I wouldn't mind having CDL just because you never know what situation you may find yourself in, but I personally would never drive a truck for a living, I would be miserable. The pay is pretty good, my friends that did over the road were pulling in around $500 a week, and they were fairly young. There are also good ways to move up in the industry, if you don't mind maintaning your own truck, owning the truck you drive can bring in good money, also if you find a driving partner so that you never have to stop except for drops fuel and food, that would mean even more money. Good luck with your decision, this isn't an easy one. I recommend you really think this through and talk about it to the people you care about, as it won't affect only you.

who has ever had wireless b here? I know Adam had that USB card, but he was trying to connect from the basement to the second floor and B doesn't have shit for range.

There is one down in Pakersburg, WV that did one in a caravan my mom use to own. They had to go through it a few times before they got it right, but they did finally get it. I can't remember if they warrenteed it or not.

If I remember they did something incredibly lame with that car, like put an SR20 or RBwhatever into it. Some inline nissan motor, ugh.

Why?

That Dodge isn't that old, it's the '91 - '93 bodystyle. Looks pretty damn nice to me. If (when) I ever get a diesel Ram, it will have stacks http://smiliesftw.com/!/naughty.gif

oh yeah, if the engine in there is carb'd, it's a 22r. If it's fuel injected, it's a 22re

I checked out http://www.car-part.com which is a junkyard search engine, and it came up with a lot that you have to call and ask the price, the ones on there with a price were from $800 to $1500. My buddies 350 swap cost him a grand total of $1200, including buying a donor vehicle

Yes, I do. I helped a friend do it in his offroad truck. From advance adapters, you order: bolt in motor mounts bellhousing exhaust manifolds clutch kit Oilpan The most work that has to be put into the swap is removing no longer needed wiring, trimming the firewall for the distributor to fit, and tuning the carb. You can avoid some clearance issues with a body lift (if 4x4). You can reuse the stock oilpan if you feel like beating it with a hammer to clear the front diff (again, 4x4 only). Then, you have to find a solution for a fan. There isn't enough space for a mechanical fan, so either find an electric that is extremely thin, or find another way to mount it. My friend ended up putting the radiator in the bed, after ripping the bottom off of one, and the water pump eating another.

dammit, i need another offroad truck

But they won't get there very fast.

good luck, those aren't too easy to find. It's almost easier to just drop in a 350

I've seen that before, the guy that owns that is on the tacoma messageboard

WOW, that looks like way too much motor for a boat that small. I remember a few years ago asking on here how a rotary boat would do, and everyone jumped my shit about it failing due to lack of TORQUE....I now see that's not a problem.

Good point. I'm willing to bet it's a mechanical speedo on those, but that's only a guess.

Does this mean you put the GTP back together? Or did you get something else?

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm going to go ahead and say that no, a Toyota manual transmission is not going to have any kind of harness or ECU. I know there is nothing at all like that on the Taco, which is newer. The auto's certainly do, and depending on model can make them a pain in the ass if you want to swap motors around.

Chris, you need a ride, or are you cool? I can't make any sense out of this thread.

Wrong generation there buddy
