The Toyota Land Cruiser is called the 'King of SUVs.' If that's true, then Hummer is the emperor of SUVs. If that is the case, where should we place the latest SUV, the Knight XV? Well, then we have to term the Knight XV as the God of SUVs!

I can read your mind, dude. You must be thinking that I am joking, but I am very serious. Let me make things simpler and clearer for you to understand. Imagine a lightweight boxer standing beside a heavyweight boxer and a WWE wrestler. Now let us name them. The lightweight boxer is the Land Cruiser, the heavyweight boxer is the Hummer and then this new Knight XV is the WWE wrestler. Are you getting it, now? This Knight XV is huge!

Believe me, this SUV from Conquest Vehicles Inc., a Toronto-based company, is colossal; it is gigantic in size. It is the largest Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) on earth weighting 10,000 pounds. This is also the world's most luxurious SUV. Most importantly and interestingly, the Knight XV is very eco-friendly and runs on bio-fuel.

Conquest Vehicles Inc. is a Toronto based Canadian automobile manufacturer. The company exclusively practice designing and manufacturing of extra-luxurious, fully armored, handcrafted sport utility vehicles. The company employs award-winning experts in the field of engineering, fabrication, design, armouring and customization to create one-of-a-kind SUVs unrivaled and unmatched in present day's automotive marketplace. Besides, Conquest Vehicles Inc. provides its clients with auto customization and after-market design for their exotic luxury vehicles.

The hulky Knight XV is powered by a 6.8 liter V10 engine. The engine can deliver a robust power of 400 bhp. The Knight XV is congregated on a super duty Ford modified platform chassis. The Herculean SUV is inspired by the Gurkha military vehicle built by Armet Armored Vehicles. The Gurkha military vehicle is an armored military vehicle employed by the United States Army, Russian Foreign Ministry, various American police SWAT teams and Canadian Forces.

The Knight XV comes fully armored with Wilton Wool carpeting, Andrew Muirhead leather, 6-way electric leather boardroom-style seating, tandem sunroof glass with privacy shades, personal side-mounted laptop stations, LED cabin lighting, an Alpine AM, FM, CD, DVD navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, TV monitors, night vision and rear operation camera system, and a PlayStation 3. The interior of the cabin is humongous with ultra spacious 283-cubic-foot, which obviously is larger than the interior of most SUVs on the road today and can comfortably accommodate six professional basketball players.

One peculiar thing about this Herculean Knight XV is that it is handcrafted. Each car took 1,500 man hours to be built. This SUV is meticulously built completely by human hands.

The Knight XV is built using ballistic hardened steel making it fully armored. The SUV comes with ballistic fiberglass fenders and bumpers as well as 64 mm transparent armor glass. The monumental SUV measures 240 inches in length and 98 inches wide with a ground clearance of 14 inches and stands 100 inches tall. Its wheelbase is 141 and the SUV can hold 40 gallons of fuel and sits on four, LT40X13.50R20 Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ tires with ballistic run flat tyre system. These 40 inches tires are wrapped around 20 inches aircraft-grade wheels. In addition, the Knight XV contains an E-85 Ethanol conversion system (Flex Fuel) with California emission certification.

As we have seen, everything about this SUV is superlative... the size, performance, built, fuel efficiency, gadgets, luxury, security and the price as well. The SUV is attached to a heavy price tag of $310,000. (The price goes well with its stance!) There is only a handful of overly super rich people who can afford to vroom this leviathan SUV. So, the Canadian car company is reckoning to roll out only 100 of this SUV initially.

Guide to Installing a Big Block Chevy Manifold

The term 'big block' is related with automobile engines. It is actually a series of engines that were of large displacement and were developed several years ago. A proper manifold should be installed on a vehicle to make sure that the engine runs efficiently. It is not too hard to install a manifold on a big block. Here is a simple guide.

Tools Needed
- Basic tools like ratchet, wrench and torque.
- Protective gear like safety clothing

Materials Needed
- Silicone sealant
- Non-hardening sealant
- Oil
- Rags

Guidelines

Step 1:
Every gasket has to be inspected and it must be made sure that they are sealed in a proper way. If bolts require sealing, then it is better to seal them quickly. The gasket and the water ports have to be given particular attention. If the decks of blocks or heads were machined, then they may appear to be lower. If cork or rubber gaskets are present in the intake, then the block would not get firmly fixed to the manifold. To make an air tight connection, it is suitable to use silicone.

Step 2:
Now, the manifold has to be installed. Ensure that everything is right with the oil splash guard. When satisfied, lower the manifold into place. Ensure that adequate help is available to line up the manifold bolt holes. Some adjustments have to be done for lining up the holes.

Step 3:
The possible leaks should be sealed now. It is essential to understand that a lot of bolts ultimately end up close to the head area. There will be a lot of oil present. To prevent leaks, it is ideal to use non-hardening sealant on the bolts.

Step 4:
Once the bolts on the manifold and block have been tightened, it is essential to understand the tightening and loosening sequences which are needed. Some can vary but the loosening and tightening sequence of many blocks and manifolds start from the middle and go outwards.

Step 5:
It is important to ensure that each bolt is tightened to the same rating with torque wrench. However every bolt may not be accessed with a torque wrench. In case this happens, then use a box wrench.

Step 6:
This task requires working with larger vehicle and steel parts, it generally means that it is important to follow safety precautions. Anyone who is helping in this task must also be aware of the safety measures while installing the manifold.

Tips & Precautions
- Safety should be your topmost priority at all times. When lowering the manifold to its position, specific precautions must be followed. Caution must also be exercised when silicone is being used as a sealant.
- This is the process to do the task in a DIY style, it is helpful to save a pretty fine amount of money.

how to remove bumper sticker?

I have a 1995 chevy cheyenne with the hard bumper (not plastic or steel) but it's black and strong and I am trying to remove the bumper sticker. Someone has already tried to scratch it off with a knife and it just created tears in the sticks and scratched the bumper. Being that the sticker already is torn somewhat and that the sticker has been on there for about 8 years and is hardened, how can I get it off?
