of the pedal every time. Strong trans,
shifts smooth. Porterbuilt Drop-member with factory arms modified for air

4 corners at once, front/rear separately, or 4 corner individually controlled Lays frame when dropped Low ride height, about 4” at the rockers, so it looks cool

inner fenders raised and widened for clearance) Custom billet “steelies” 20’s and 22’s with original center
caps. Nitto tires Custom sheet metal bed floor and wheel tubs bead rolled and
bedlined. Tie downs in the bed for your bike, bobber, or just hauling gear. Pockets in back to hold army style gas cans Actual gas tank mounted below the bed. Filled through chrome cap in bed floor. Fuel gauge works and is accurate. Interior is nice and fairly clean. The rug and carpet on the lower doors could
probably use replacing or a good shampooing, but it fits the character of the
truck as is so I never changed it. Can
be purchased new from LMC or Brother’s truck for a hundred bucks. (Wet spot on the driver floor from wet shoes in
pictures. There are no stains or
discoloration in the carpet.) New seat
foam and cover. Cover has a weathered
look that again goes perfectly with the truck.
Air gauge put into the lower left of the factory gauge cluster. Everything works except the speedo. Cable needs to be replaced, I never got around
to doing it. GPS App on my iPhone was
free and worked good enough! Otherwise the
truck is mechanically and electrically sound. New Alpine stereo installed this summer ($1,500 in parts) . Alpine top of the line head unit with Blue
Tooth, hands free phone, ipod, CD, etc… Amps
mounted below the seat. Two 5.5” Alpine speakers
in the door and two alpine 6x9’s in the rear cab corners. Rockford Fosgate P3 sub behind the seat. A lot of stereo for a small cab, but it
sounds bitchen. This is a bad ass truck that I hate to sell, but have a baby
on the way and a few other projects. Not
interested in trades or low ball offers.
Do not bid if you do not plan to pay for it. Clean, clear title in my name and ready to be
signed over to you! Located in Mundelein, IL (Northern suburb of Chicago). Truck is available to inspect by appointment. |

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
