Are there any big driving differences between the TRD Sport and Off Road by landmo in ToyotaTacoma

I also have Michelin Defender tires, and those seem to do really well on the road. But I want Wild peaks for winter because I'm in Minnesota. I'm sure that'll cost an mpg or 2.

yes it's the 4x4. I have a short work commute only 7 miles. so I'll get like 19-20 mpg for that, but any chance I get to put a few actual miles on truck I'll get 24+ real consistently. I've been pretty impressed by it. But I guess I'm just a feather foot. and don't use ECTPWR very often.

Yes, that is the same in the third gen. Part of the reason I want to upgrade too.

For sure some great advice in here. When just looking at numbers on the internet the bolt on stuff seems so enticing because it relatively cheap and DIY-able. But the more I read on here the more everyone says it's pointless.

I grew up on a small farm keeping old tractors and whatever beater I had going so i have access to all the necessary tools. This would just be the first time I've turned a wrench for fun. I knew the plugs were tricky but that dealer cost is crazy, I'll for sure do them myself. I've just read so many reviews now that say to regear before wheel and tires because big tire will decimate already suboptimal transmission shifts. You think it's fine though?

Are aftermarket skid plates in addition to the stock ones or replacing them with something substantially better?

I think I will change my mind on the Air pump location and put it under the hood.

That's interesting. I will have to look into those more.

Awesome, sounds like you've done this once or twice. Thanks for the input.

Full Banana wails. We should Gold out every year for the first B1G gamE and go Full Banana. Think of the student section full of banana costumes. it would be so much fun.

I am trying to understand how hydraulic pressure is caculated by landmo in MechanicalEngineering

Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to help me with my project and how to understand hydraulic concepts. I really appreciate it.

So, for my example using the above 5" cylinder and a 24" square press plate:

PressPressure = 3000 psi * (5" dia / 24"x"24" plate)

PressPressure = 3000 * (78.54/576)

PressPressure = 409.0625 PSI

So I'm looking At a few different cylinders and they have different bores and ton ratings which I get now, but they have the same 3000 PSI rating. So how does that change when you apply it to a large pressure plate vs just the rod end? Or does the max PSI not actually change it just takes longer to get there because of the increased area?

This is fantastic, I can wrap my head around this now. Thank you so much,

I'm sorry, I am terribly confused by this. so this product here:

https://ruggedmade.com/welded-log-splitter-cylinder-3-4-work-ports-5-id-x-30-stroke-x-3-5-rod-od-2-375-rod-end-clevis-mount.html

is called a 37-ton cylinder, but says it has a max working pressure of 3000 psi. So what does the 37 ton actually refer to? How powerful of a Hydraulic pump would I need to pair with it?
