How many times has this happened to you:
You are coming home from the grocery store, where you had to pick up some milk and cheese for a casserole that your wife is making for dinner tonight.
You just hopped in the truck and buzzed down the road to get the ingredients that your wonderful wife Suzie had asked you to…and you never even thought twice about taking the little Toyota.
Sure, you could have taken the supercharged Hemi Cuda, or the insane Baja 1000 trophy truck, or the turboed Hyabusa sportbike… but you were just running to the store… why would you need anything else?
You were in and out of the store in record time and there you are happily puttering down the road without a care in the world, thinking about that great casserole that would were in store for you in about 2 hours.
But then…you get a strange feeling in your gut that something isn’t right.
You feel uneasy… nervous… you look at the gauges… nope…you are well under the speed limit.
You check the skies…. no bomber squadrons passing overhead…
You turn down the Lawrence Welk 8 track, and listen carefully… wait… what IS that noise?
You roll down the window and the noise is louder… you check the mirrors…
Oh no… OH NO… NO, NO… NOT AGAIN!!!
ROAD WARRIORS!!!!
You slam your foot to the floor, pinning the skinny pedal down in absolute terror and that HUGE 4 cylinder 22R motor whizzes to life, and the speedo needle slowly crawls past 35 mph….but not fast enough… and before you can say Lord Humongous… they are on you.
They must have smelled that sweet gas-o-line in that slow moving tank of yours and they aren’t leaving until they have stolen your gas, drank your milk and nibbled on your mild cheddar.
You can hear their screaming above the sounds of their (no doubt highly illegal) and very loud flat black attack vehicles… they are just toying with you now …speeding up next to you, twirling chains, spitting, swinging bats, swerving, screaming, shooting arrows into the body panels…you roll your window up as fast as you can do so while keeping one hand safely on the wheel while traveling in excess of 45 mph…but it smashes to pieces as one of them throws a large rusty bolt through it… you curse under your breath and think about the ported and tuned 10mm Glock that you left on the bed stand this morning next to the 32 round magazines filled with the hottest hand loaded rounds your loading press could manage to cram into those cases.
You check the speedo as a beer bottle smashes into your windshield sending cracks outward from the impact… 55mph… you are NEVER going taste that sweet casserole now… you reach behind the seat as you swerve at the nearest flame spitting motorcycle and fumble for your sawed off coach gun… there… got it… you smile triumphantly as you swing it over the head rests and into your lap while swerving back into your lane just in time to miss a Molotov cocktail exploding on impact with the concrete… that was close… that was meant for your cab!
You fumble again for the latch to break open the breach on the shotgun… but your stomach drops when you see the two empty chambers staring back at you… oh fiddlesticks!
Suzie had given you a hard time about the safety of a loaded gun in the truck and you had capitulated… clearly this was much safer… well… this was it… it’s over… you look down at the speedo again as you see the Road warriors blast ahead of you on both sides and pull in front… 75 mph… you look up in resignation at a particularly nasty looking motorcycle rider smiling and blowing kisses at you from behind his umpires mask… he points his crossbow at you and pulls the trigger….
Fellas, I don’t know about you, but this has happened to me more times than I care to admit.
What’s a guy to do?
I suppose you could always buy a big bore kit. And a supercharger....or maybe a nice twin turbo kit?
There is always nitrous… or swap in that supercharged Hemi out of the Cuda… or a twin turbo straight six from a Supra… but you would have to cut out the firewall to get that motor to fit and then you would mess up that cherry interior!
Not to mention the gas you will be burning up with those mods!
One never knows how long he might have to run until he can ditch the dogs of war.
Dude…how bad would it suck to be ahead of the nasties by an easy 500 yards and you sputter to a halt because those 600 horses under the hood got REALLY thirsty while they were running.
I guess you could always mount up a second tranny and have 10 gears and insanely high gearing… but then you would have a second stick poking up out of extended cab floor and then how will you shift? Are you gonna adopt a small orphan boy to sit in the back and shift the second tranny when you yell out for the next gear?
(Think of it as a semi-automatic tranny.)
But come on guys… who unrealistic is that? I mean… WHERE are you find a shift knob that reads “5-10” ?
And think of what will happen if the orphan hits reverse by accident at speed?
I mean you can trust yourself to never hit reverse by accident… but how long has that 7 year old been driving?
But what if I told you there was something you could do that would not only get you more top speed, BUT it would also improve your fuel efficiency by at least 50,000 percent?
It’s true!
I’m here to tell you folks, the problem isn’t that motor in your Toyota truck…. It’s you aerodynamics!
That ol girl is about as aerodynamic as giant brick with a Toyota grille strapped to the front of it!
What you need is something to make you more slippery… forget making your carbon footprint smaller… you need to lower your drag, and slice through the air easier! Save the planet? HA! How about save your own skin first!
So here is the deal… I got this nice Glasstite fiberglass truck topper… the one with the tall roof and a front facing window. (See pictures) It’s in great shape and it came off of my long box (86” long bed) , 2wd , 1986 Toyota pickup.
It’s in great shape, very clean, not broken or damaged at all.
When I put this bad boy on, I could easily hit 250 mph in 4th gear… and there was still another gear to go!
I’m only asking 225$ for this topper… you can’t even buy a nice nitrous kit for that … do the math guys… even If you use an old abacus you should still be able to see the merit of buying this topper.
