I asked if he never stick a van....?

I came across this post and was thinking twice baout posting but here goes.....

tall757.....automakers all over the world have done a lot of market research and do extensive trending forecasts. They realised that truck owners are no longer limited to the ulititarian class (farmers,construction etc) but now a lot of people are looking at trucks as their daily driver. In foreign markets there is also the added incentive of savings and tax write-offs. Companies now make some of their trucks as plush and luxurious as their SUV's and sports cars!

The aftermarkets sellers have followed suit and make rims and every other conceivable "upgrade" for them....so why not??

What is the difference between the truck owner who buys rims and all the trimmings, compared to the guy who buys a 911 or GT-R??

As for a dropped low SUV or pickup...i agree it is silly...but no more silly than doing it to a car...the automaker make the suspension for a reason...

Just my 42 cents!

I was talking about the B2500 being the company truck in my family's company, not the deans wheels truck, I'm not affiliated with them in any way; I guess I mixed up the order a bit there lol. And no, I'm not one to showoff, someone was bashing me about my education and that my van had 3 different kinds of wheels (big rims, unneccessary lights=showoff) though I guess I got a bit too into it (new to these post things, I prefer to drive). I just didn't want to say MY truck to look like a lil rich boy (I'm already listed with another car as you could see). And no sir bleedingfreak, I never stick though I have come in a few notable tricky spots. The difference with a car is that they more consumer oriented but I understand your point. Personally I dislike anything not performance oriented (especially on a utalitarian vehichle; something that is advertised as tough) though at the same time I don't mind show cars and SOME trucks (though I dislike seeing good vehicles being watered down); I just don't like 1/4 way jobs or showoffs to the point where it becomes average or overdone as we see with the many new hiluxes and navaras that people have been getting there hands on. Plus anyways, a lot of the guys who chrome out GTR's and 911's but drive them only for show, rarely would u see one take that car to its limits; u may see it at drags yes; but not on a track (though I think we have enough problems with race tracks in trinidad). By the way, a lowered suspension on a car helps with cornering (along with other mods) and its not like trucks are made for on road racing though a hilux may benifit from one as displayed by a moose test. I am not a hilux hater by the way, Jeremy Clarkson is right in saying its invincible. :mrgreen:

i mean i understand where he is coming from but i wont go as far as he did - everyone have a choice in their selection and to each his own. Case in point - my bro owns a rimz place and the majority of his customers that buy big chrome rimz is Navara and Hilux men - so i have no probs with that - i will just overtake them when they driving slow to avoid the potholes...lol

lighthammer · Postby **lighthammer** » July 26th, 2010, 8:40 am

Old-school = work-horse, minimalistic, functional, rugged, reliable, easy to maintain, goes anywhere.

New-school = reliable, comfortable, easy to maintain, masculine looks, pretty, blinged

IMHO:
Best-school = a reliable, comfortable workhorse that gets the job done and looks good while doing it.

ok time to hijack this thread...

So biggy, how does the Algae-X system work? Is it a set-it-and-forget it kinda thing or do you have to use a fuel additive too? Any problems or difference in performance since you installed it?

no problems since installation. you can use additives if you like, but not necessary. and remember:

Ah ok, I see. But is the conditioner really necessary if the Algae-X system conditions the fuel on its own?

And I wonder if the benefits aren't limited to only common-rail diesels, what about older diesels such as these:

Perhaps the OP would like to weigh in on the benefits of a modern fuel conditioner like Algae-X on all types of diesel motors.

the algae-X works similar to a centrifuge. it breaks up fuel agglomeration and disperses water. this are the things that can foul filters and the CR and cause uneven fuel distribution.

fuel conditioners (like Amsoil Diesel Concentrate and CBA) compensate for the variances in quality of different fuels (including biodiesel) and the deficiencies of today’s ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) for better engine operation. Both improve diesel fuel quality to exceed today’s stringent performance requirements.

Algae-X is like a fuel protection system. the fuel conditioners increase performance ane efficiency
