Gale Banks just "dissed" smokers on Xtreme 4x4!

I'm watching Xtreme 4x4 and they've got Banks on there doing a twin turbo on a Duramax. He starts talking about intercoolers and says with regard to "those guys out there who are making all that smoke - they think they're cool, but they're not". :-laf



If you get the chance this weekend, watch the show. It's worth it to hear him say that.



I've never smoked anyone out, but even I laughed at his comment.

[JaMan]

I think I'm COOl! I think? Well sort of. . Kinda . . "Oh My" Gale thinks I'm a loser :{ That's it I'll Smoke his Butt :-laf :-laf Now I feel better, let the Smoking continue... .



How much could that twin turbo D-Max settup cost at Banks rates more than the truck maybe... .

 

[CLiberty]

There`s this one guy I work with that I get all the time. W`ell both be leaving work,walking out to our trucks (he`s got an `03 Hemi). Just the other day I was about 10 paces in front of him trying to not make it obvious that I`m trying to get to my ride first. We both fire up and I edge him out by about 2 feet and lay on it,the old POD`s did their job and he disappeared from my mirror,LOL!!!! I feel REEEAAALLLYYY bad that he has WHITE truck. I can get a goood laff on the whole ride home after one of those "smoke" sessions.

I just put my DD2's in Thursday and today I had these two kids in a little Nissan car try to race me in a heavily traveled area so I left my box off and pulled away from them, then we got caught in traffic and they ended up right behind me. So I turn the Comp on 5x5 and when the light turns green I start to move and shift into 3rd and push on the go pedal, they completely disappeared, a couple of blocks away I pull into the MIL house and this older gentleman and his wife pull up in a very nice vehicle, I figure he's gonna give me a hard time..... Nope he tells me I just made his day, that he'd been watching those idiots drive and was laughing his butt off when their car disappeared right in front of him. He told me to keep up the good work

 

[ProMac1K]

Sounds fun! Looks even better!

"those guys out there who are making all that smoke - they think they're cool, but they're not".

Really Gale?! That's not near as cool as you telling the public that they will be able to get that very same kit as soon as the show is finished with that motor. You know. The one that doesn't have the provisions on it for emmission inspection. The one carries $10,000 minimum price tag for all the work that will need to be done to that motor (to make 700 HP and 1000 ft-lbs :-laf: ).



You know what's better yet, going to a competiton where Banks is represented and seeing the looks on the competitors faces when they realize that the product just didn't deliver. That's cool.



(Sorry guys. I've just seen too many people taken to the cleaners on Banks stuff and I get a little perturbed. I didn't mean to hijack the thread).

 

[C. Harlan]

Hijack the thread?? I was worried you were perturbed with this thread! It's good to see you back on this board Aron!



What a great place to make my 1500th post too!



I have seen alot of people taken to the cleaners from buying BANKS stuff as well... It bothers me how someone who claims to know so much about this stuff can say that smoke is not cool... Look at all the high HP motors... Be it tractors, rigs, pickups, whatever it may be... If you watch a sled pull, they call the diesels the "SMOKER CLASS"... . FOR A REASON, GALE... Oh well, I inquired about their products before I knew any better (Long, long time ago), and they still send me CRAP emails, and junk mails... All I have to say is that this thread didnt make it all this way, as far as it did without ozone depleting citizens like you and me!!!! Keep up the good smoking, and pee on you, Gale Banks!

1999 Kubota TG1860 mower with a little "screw twisting" on the pump. Not bad for a little . 722 liter 3 cylinder 18 horsepower engine with about a 1 inch exhaust pipe! As you can tell by the fescue heads, the grass was WAY too tall and thick, but the BOMBED little inline engine powers on through it!

 

[ProMac1K]

Wow, got a full-size shot of that mower?

 

[bmoeller]

What are the EGTs? :-laf

 

[tURBOdIEZEl]

i bet that thing is a monster in the 2ft tall grass with your latest fuel screw "tweak. "

 

[Dieselnut59]

no pic of the mower itself. I will have to take one. Got some pics of my other diesel toys I will try to figure out how to post too... This is the "aftermath" of the mower smoke show. Gotta figure out how to take one of the Polaris. It will lay down some pretty good smoke too!

 

[Holysmokes]

Picture this..... Its Saturday night. Its just after supper time so its not too dark yet. The wife ,2 year old,and I are headed back into the country after a night in the big city. I stopped at a red light in the " not so good" part of town. My wife and I look over and see this HOOKER standing on the corner wearing a TIGHT WHITE dress mini skirt thingy. At this point she is aprox. 3 feet from the truck. Light turned green and I HAD to stand on it to hit the get on ramp to the interstate that was about 1/4 mile away. Smoke came rolling out and she JUMPED up the on the sidewalk and up into someones yard. The truck pretty much puked all over that dress. Wife says to me" Honey. . you just ain't right" I told her " Hey, thats what she calls an occupational hazard. " :-laf

RE: Smoke Stories

We were Deer hunting on a ridge over looking a small town in Utah. We were driving down a dirt road when a HUGE 4 point buck jumped out on the road in front of the truck. Well I didn't have my gun ready so I gunned the throttle and tried to clip the deer with the truck. We missed the deer but broke the input shaft of the auto trans. Well there we were stranded and looking at the small town in the distance. We had no cell phones or anything, so I started Gunning the throttle over and over and over etc. The town Sheriff saw the smoke and came up to investigate all the smoke. We told him we needed a tow truck so he called one for us. Good thing that truck was turned up or we would have still been up there or walking our buts off. Thanks

So, with your new truck, you were going to pay $500-$1000 in body damage to your truck for a deer? I suppose if your deductable is $250-ish it maybe worth it.



Mine is at $500. Driving north on I-75 near the UP (michigan), a dumbass deer RAN INTO THE SIDE of my truck. I was doing 80mph and i heard a "bang", look in my mirrors and I see this deer flying, upright into the forest. stop, look at the damage (deer long gone), one dent, and a 6" scratch = full side of the truck bed repainted for $700. he smacked right in the top part above the tire. I suppose that's the best place to hit.



Now think about this. If I was doing 81mph, I would of missed him... if I was doing 79, I would have a deer head in my drivers window. I supppose you can't really look at things this way, but what if?

 

[DjFire07]

BOMB's paid off again!

I was sitting at a light in the left straight lane when a woman in a gasser Suburban pulled up in the right lane which ended shortly after the light. Apparently, she wanted to get ahead of me before the merge. But, I was ready 'cause I've seen that trick before. She even inched forward when the cross traffic light turned yellow. It's on! It was somewhere during fourth gear (the third black cloud :-laf ) that she gave up and backed way off. Then, not a mile up the road she made her right turn to wherever she was going. I'd like to know what it looks like from inside one of those clouds (or... ... maybe not )

Just being a pain for no reason

So this is when I was new to Edge Juice attidude and it's " magical powers".



5/5. Stop and go traffice on 169 south towards shakopee, MN. from about ohh say MN-62 to I-494 it's just stop and go stop and go. punks in a jetta behind me. I'm like heh. ok, so I get on the low boost fueling, shifting at like 1800rpm in 2nd and 3rd, stop. repeat..... no real reason. just being and ***



At about the 5th time they started to drive "around" the puffs of smoke. On the shoulder infact! Once I stopped laughing my *** off, I stopped being an ***



So yeah, it's no act of enforcment. The "stop being a dumb *** driver, or i'll smoke you" kinda thing. But was funny none the less.
