I'm running 10-30 full synthetic in my AX4 and it's still hard to shift into 1st or reverse when it gets below 25. Just the nature of the beast, I guess.

This is Memo.

Cool deal. :) I'll look them up. I dig it, but I feel hesitant to put it on my truck since I only have the one. I have a thing for symmetry. lol

Yep. I had never seen cupholders like that before. Where did you get yours?

That's cool. Do you have an idea of what he has?

Picked up a set of Anzo H4 housings. Here they are equipped with the El-cheapo bulbs that they came with compared to a Sylvania Silverstar headlight on the passenger side.

Just been daily-driving it and exploring the local area. Here's some poser shots:

Looky what I found at the local PnP! I got it for a dollar. Still debating whether or not to put it on mine.

Care to elaborate? I believe the popularity of the HO builds are due to their abundance and not to any real technical advantage.Read up on the head design of the renix vs HO engines.Yes the HO heads flow better. But higher flow doesn't generally improve low end torque, which is the purpose of a stroker motor. What's so much better about the rest of the HO engine? Are you sure we're all after low end when we stroke? My stroker makes its power above 3k rpm and regularly revs to around 5k. If you like your Renix, that's awesome, but saying that airflow has nothing to do with power is ,at best, mistaken. I never said flow doesn't make power, it just doesn't have much of an affect on low end power. A stoker is an undersquare engine so by design it is more suited for making low end torque rather then top end horsepower. And actually I like all the 4.0 sixes I just don't see the updated versions as being much better than the originals. (Then again I still like the old 4.2s) Again, not everyone wants or needs to enhance power down low on a L6. Different strokes, I guess. I will maintain that the AMC designed L6's that I've seen putting down big power all have been running the HO management system. Whenever I see a Renix putting out close to 300hp without forced induction, I'll change my tune.

That looks pretty slick! I dig that you can keeo the stock flares with it. Turn the snorkle's top around and you won't suck as much dust. ;)

Grassy-@ss!!

Nice. :)

Is the Renix 4.0 a good engine? Undoubtedly. Maybe in stock form the 4.0HO didn't blow the Renix version out of the water, BUT the power potential of the HO engines, from what I've seen, outclasses the old Renix mills. There's a reason why pretty much everyone who makes a stroker either uses a HO engine or ends up with the HO top end (head, TB, and later HO intake manifold).

Cool deal! There's some good off roading near you (if you're into that). I'm in El Paso, BTW.

I'd also do an injected 3.4. Just do a basic rebuild for reliability with quality parts, keep the overall weight of the vehicle down, and enjoy driving it.

Cool. I'll look em up!

Welcome! What part of NM are you in?

Lol True. I can operate in heat, though. The secret is to NOT remove all your layers, wear a hat, and stay hydrated. If you do that, yoh can get around when it's 110° with no issues.

Is there a link to the BBcode tags?

Tried it. No joy. :-/

In the 4AGE world, individual throttle bodies were the hot thing about ten years ago. They look cool and sound fantastic when revving up past 7k, but all the serious racers noticed that you weren't making any more power than you would with a well tuned MPFI set up.

I can't post pics from my Android phone OR tablet even on the full website version. :-/
