I had an '04 2wd V8 and now have an '06 4wd V8. I can tell you the new V8 is noticeably quicker (and my T4R is probably another 200lbs?). The low end feels similar but in the mid-upper rpm you can really feel the extra power. Keep something in mind too: The old rating of 235 was before...

I owned a Silver '04 and now a BLACK '06. As far as keeping it "clean", the Silver is much easier, but looks more bland (everyone in Phoenix has Silver, White, or Beige). The Black just plain looks great! But yes, I'll have to wash it about every 3 weeks here to keep it looking perfect. You...

The main reason is that it was becoming a pain not having a true 4-door. I have a 3 year old and we have one on the way. Every day squeezing my daughter in and out of the back on the way to daycare was a pain. My parents live near us and we head to dinner etc a lot with them. They're in...

It was $1,000 below in AZ (as stated before). I ended up at $600 below "invoice" plus the $1,000 off. This was 3 weeks ago. MSRP: 37049 Paid: 31765 plus TT&L Your pricing my vary depending on where you are but... The price ended up nearly the same as my '07 FJ Cruiser since they would only...

I'm 6'3" 195lbs. This is my 2nd T4R (had an '04 Sport). I just sold my FJ Cruiser and picked up a new '06 Sport 4x4. The FJ's seats were even worse. I actually like the T4R seat, a lot! The problem, as with my '04, is the thigh support. I put washers in the front to raise my '04 seat up...

WOW! That's the best time I've seen yet on the 4 Runner. The next best time was an 8.3, I think in C&D. I think if that was the case though, his Blown 4 Runner would have destroyed the FX every race. We both expected it to anyway. But I'm SURE if his was a 4x2 with stock sized tires it...

Threxx - And isn't the Cherokee a Unibody? That thing can be made up for some serious off-roading! I agree though... I asked my wife the other day if she wanted to take mine or her "wagon, er, car, er, SUV, errr Crossover Vehicle..." Really it's a bit of all. Whatever it is, it works...

- I stated that 2 car lengths at 60 "could" be 6-7 at the end of the quarter, not 8. And yes, depends on the power band. - 70-80 certainly would be 110 at the motor in 4wd. Believe me, I've had WAAYYY too many cars on the dyno. He put down 225HP at the wheels. Toyota claims 353 at the...

As fast as his supercharged 4x4 4 Runner was compared to my 4x2 4 Runner, I'd say it's definitely worth having the supercharger, comparing stock to supercharged. Comparing to other cars is hard to do which is why we have done so many races agains each other (for fun and for comparison). In our...

A couple of things.... 2 car lengths to 60 could be 6 at the end of the quarter. That would show "60 more RWHP". Take into account 4x4 drive loss and it could be 7-8 car lengths, or 70-80RWHP. That's about right on for a 110 "crank" HP supercharger. Right on or not, numbers don't lie. I...

Sure, I've taken cars and been taken by cars that I should have beat or should have beaten me. Take that with a grain of salt, but we tested over and over and over again with the same results. Not just a one time thing. Creams0da & chiefiji: Read the post again, slowly, it's all in there...

So you all probably read the post about Todd's '03 V8 4 Runner (4x4) smoking my '04 V8 stock (4x2) 4 Runner. We did a few runs 0-60 and he'd pull me by a good 2 car lenghts, and continue to pull hard from there. My wife and I just traded in her Sequoia for an '04 Infiniti FX35 so Todd and I...

The supercharger will have no bearing on the exhaust sound. Now if it was a turbo, that would be a different story.
