You need this for your next snowstorm-- :bowdown: :bowdown: 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower Just in case you're havin' any trouble removing snow from your driveway... this baby will blow snow back to where it came from... more story at the bottom... And now for the rest of the story.... If you're tired of anemic, one-lung snowblowers with their slipping drive belts, you might consider Kai Grundt's V8 snow blower which raises the bar on the traditional snow blower in every respect. With electric start, electric block heater, antifreeze heater and eight cylinders, it has no drive belts to freeze up and you'll never get bored with the job as the 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower, 430 foot pounds of torque and can throw snow 50 feet at just 3500 rpm. Nor will you get cold as the machine has been ingeniously designed to route the engine coolant through the handle bars, with the rear mounted, enclosed radiator keeping the operator nice and cozy. Maneuvering the massive beast (it has a total wet weight of 912 lbs) is a breeze thanks to the hydraulic-drive 4WD skid steer on independent walking beams which offers a zero turning radius. It's also as fast as you like, with an infinitely adjustable speed range on the drive wheels via dash mounted flow control. At the opposite end of the scale, it has more than enough torque to pull your car out of the ditch before the hydraulic motors stall! Adding to the well-balanced feel of the unit, just 15 pounds of down force on the handlebars will lift the auger blade off the ground in order to climb stairs/walkways for ease of snow removal. Safety has and continues to be paramount with spring return to centre "fail safe" type directional controls with emergency stop and tether cords. Safety is one of the key theme, with a flashing blue light (as required by law in many areas) being the least of the safety features. No-one will fail to hear you with those twin throaty exhausts, which come standard with 92 decibels at the controls, though if the rumble of a V8 exhaust is music to your ears, you can obviously go much louder. Even at the standard baffling, hearing protection is strongly suggested. The powerful yard machine lights and a dashboard with backlit gauges complete the package to ease the burden of this normally reviled task. The custom 42 inch, two stage auger has a Chevrolet 10 bolt truck differential with spool and a centrifugal auger clutch with shear pin protection, further adding to the image of this "automotive theme blower." As each unit is custom-built, optional extras for the snow blower are both diverse and outrageous as the base unit - there is unlimited auger choices from single to multi stage designs and various motor combinations to suit the religious preferences of the customer (Chevy, Dodge Hemi, Ford) and such exotica as a V-10 or a diesel engine or remote starting can be accommodated. And if, after a while, you feel you've outgrown the 400 horses, this particular engine is well catered for in the performance modification area, with Lunati camshaft, Milodon Gear drive, Holley and Edelbrock components to name a few, and there's always the fuel injection option too, if you feel you need to throw the snow out of the county or ensure your seat in the "neighborhood blower blingster hall of fame."

ding ding ding!! We have a winner! It's called physics. :thumbsup:

pics?

Yeah, perfectly straight......................down! :yes:

I like the part that drops down on the spring loaded grab handles. More info: 600 takes to get it all to work. $6 million to make. Awesome.

I think I may have posted this before, can't remember. Anyhoo, I'm sure some of you have seen this before. It's a very famous commercial Honda made for Europe in 2003. There is no computer graphics manipulation, confirmed by snopes.com, yet many people still think it's fake. I'll let some of the physics minds on here have some fun with it. I, for one, can watch it over and over. Second link is a mini-documentary on what it took to make it. Enjoy.

the one in atlanta needs to bo on that booty-fab scary suspension site, whatever it's name is. at least the one in fla seemed to be built right (for the most part) until he didn't complete the front axle. :nuts:

looks like a cartoon....... http://daytona.craigslist.org/cto/1608426319.html

that tennis ball is worth more than that turdy-five. oh, and um, do i see a maroon bench in there? get a look at it? condition? i'm in the market......

That's the point with that friggin bad-arse MJ............WHEEL IT!

:agree: Couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: you da man!

I've been thinking about going counterclockwise, so to speak, and switching from my buckets to a bench seat. The MJ is basically my vehicle of choice on the weekends, and this winter has proven that it would be nice to be able to put both kids in the truck with me. I'll keep the buckets to swap back later on. Sooooo, looking for a burgundy cloth bench seat. If this becomes a needle in a haystack, I'll be open to a bench I'd have to recover.

If anyone has an open Carfax or Autocheck (or similar) account and would be willing to run a vin for me, I would highly appreciate it. :bowdown: 1J4FF68S5XL535359

MercComet, welcome! AWESOME looking truck, very cool with the diesel. What are those tires, they look very nice.

unless 1986s pm was for the same thing, i'd gladly buy that metric ton emblem from you!

somebody better grab these, that's stupid cheap. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f125/spi ... rs-972755/

:thumbsup:

because I've already done the lift thing, and then it won't look funny with 215's. ok, agreed on the 215s looking like temp spares on a 4wd, but assuming you are going for economy as a DD I wouldn't think going from 225s to 215s is gonna make much of a difference, jmo. :chillin: *shrug* not trying to bust your nads, just seems like you're overthinking it. a steady foot and consistent air pressure in yout tires will probably get you the same mpg. :dunno:

cool. i've got some spares in the truck now, in the packaging, so i'll run that. thanks!

Why lower it? Not sure I follow. :dunno:

did anybody notice Darren's rig sig's on cherokeeforum? hilarious. classic Darren. :yes:

That's not a problem as these bulbs are readily available with LEDs. Hornbrod, got a part # and place to buy those LED bulbs for these lights?
