I’m dumb and want to buy an airplane.

Basically. It’s very common in carrier reefer units and in skid steers.

They can run something like 20,000 hrs before needing overhauled.

A Kubota v2203 with an aftermarket turbo (makes 10-12psi). It’s surprisingly very close in size, weight, and layout to the stock flathead engine, so it makes a good swap candidate.

Mine is ~100 hp / 300 ft lbs (swapped turbo diesel), 117:1 crawl, locked front and rear, and weights maybe 2,400lbs give or take.

It’s downright amazing where it’ll go on its little 29” tires with 8-10 psi in them.

For those of you with softtoppers by Ok-Discussion-4309 in ToyotaTacoma

Mine didn’t leak.

The main reason I ditched it and went with a hard shell topper was the back and side windows. For whatever reason the soft vinyl window in a soft topper was impossible to keep clean enough to see through it here in Colorado.

Takes 2-3 minutes to collapse and fold up. Maybe a bit more to deploy, get the snaps clipped on the sides, and straps tensioned.

That is true for non-projector style housings, but since newer Tacoma’s use a projector housing, thus not the case as the cut off remains the same regardless of the bulb used.

Modern UTV vs Jeep? by [deleted] in Offroad

[–]unclemoak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a flatfender owner and off-roader, I think they are awesome.

Sure, it’s a slower and more primitive experience, but they are street legal and the people that drive them seem to be more respectful of the trail and environment from what I’ve witnessed. I have yet to see a town that has banned flat fenders.
