Ok so today I dint work (

) So I went to a couple of dealerships because Im car/truck shoping....the first place I went to was the Toy dealer and test drove the X-Runner.....WoW

0-60 in 6 sec's with the optional supercharger....this little truck hauls some major but

but you know what the cool thing was the sales man handed me the keys and said when ur done with it just park it out front then well talk numbers.....Yes ladies and gentleman....I testdrove it alone with no salesman

wierd thing is that he did so without asking for my license or insurance or anything...I just gave him my 1st name

the price was 24 g's and I know that in a couple of months once I sell my 4Runner if theres one available....Ill buy it

my brother has a 2002 tacoma that i just installed a supercharger and 7th injector in. dang! what a kick, but like any blower the top end drops off unlike a turbo charger. i think the 3.4 needs new heads that actually flow, but still have quad overhead cams and a twin turbo set-up would haul! maybe some day! but yeah the supercharger is a kick in the pants.

Mudguts.....WTF did that mean?

isnt the x-runner a 2wd tacoma with ground effects. its a cool ass truck but would make a sh*tty car hauler. but why sell your 4wd for a 2wd. you have to have both

mudaddict · « **Reply #6 on:** Jun 05, 2005, 03:10:44 AM »

Ugh.....I am not too crazy bout them new ones. They're too hot roddy for me....But Swamper, it's your choice, if that's how you wanna spend ur $$, then by all means, I won't say I told you so

I think I would get tired of it after awhile though.....

My bad...I thought the X-Runner was actually a 4Runner.

Ok I should have specified on a board full of rednecks....That if I do purchase the x-runner I will aquire a solid axle toy or a suzuki and upgrade it with toy parts...depeands what is available here in S.A

Hey Swamp, just imagine what you could do to your 4Runner if you put 24g's into it

Quote from: seanc on Jun 04, 2005, 06:38:38 PM

but like any blower the top end drops off unlike a turbo charger

That all depends on how its tuned and if the engine is out pulling the charger. It's a positive displacement setup (theoritacally) so more rpm = more boost. If the blower is a bit undersized for the engine, then that might happen, but if you have the right sized blower and run 80% of its peak boost or so, then it will do the same as a Turbo.

That's what I never understood.. All three of my SC engines would hold peak boost all the way to redline, including my 17.5 psi SC engine. I was using 2.5" intake piping compared to the stock 2". A Turbo has a waste gate that regulates boost, so if you've got a SC that can hold it's boost all the way to redline, and you've got a Turbo that does the same, then the SC will walk all over the Turbo anyday.

YEEEEE, HAWWWWW!

just dump the $$ into the swamper. way better use of the $ in my oppino.
but it's your $ if you want it real bad go for it.

SWAMPER · « **Reply #16 on:** Jun 06, 2005, 09:51:28 AM »

The one I test drove was the same color

the reason Im would buy the truck is because I need something reliable so a new toy is as reliable as can get....now dont get me wrong I will get myself another toy but that would not be street legal

so what are you guy's thoughts about the truck

Oh and BF Im not gay and never say I am

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #17 on:** Jun 06, 2005, 10:23:38 AM »

I dont like it. If I were looking for reliability, why dont you get a "newer" toyota tacoma 2wd and keep Swamper?

I thoughtyou had all your engine problems fixed? why isnt swamper reliable?

If it were me, I'd look at buying a new 4x4 tacoma, or even one that is a few years old. If you get a vehicle that is a few years old, you wont beleve the $$ you'll save, and most of the bugs from the factory will have been taken care off

SWAMPER · « **Reply #18 on:** Jun 06, 2005, 11:16:44 AM »

The thing is that I want something sporty and since I feel sports cars are just way to close to the ground I think a sports truck would be good....I did fix my engine prob but I still want something newer

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #19 on:** Jun 06, 2005, 11:19:24 AM »

I dunno, I've always thought that sports trucks defeat the purpose of a truck. If you want something for work, to haul and tow, get a truck. If you want something to race, go fast, and what not, buy a sports car.

just me though If you want it go for it

SWAMPER · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 06, 2005, 11:22:00 AM »

Like I said sports cars are too low to the ground for my taste and beside the X-Runner has a bed....I can still carry stuff around...not haul but carry

ok,ok I'll stop with the $That\'s Gay$ stuff. aww tomarrow! ok?

<swampy in his new truck.

SWAMPER · « **Reply #22 on:** Jun 08, 2005, 07:52:26 AM »

I still have some thinking to do about the truck and what not....but you never know

Oh and about the test I aced it with a 90

bigdaddypoppop · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 06, 2005, 04:18:15 PM »

Skip the Xrunner, get yours self one of the Tacomas with the TRD package. They have a built in plug in in the bed so you can run A/C powered items off of it.

SWAMPER · « **Reply #24 on:** Jul 07, 2005, 05:38:55 PM »

Heck no the reason why I would get the X-Runne is cause I know I woulnt try and take it wheeling

I want something nice and I will also have a trail toy
