The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Lol going back up......

 

put the 2.75" spacer and AAL lift kit on my truck, plus 31x10.5's....rides great!

 

Those are gonna look great when you get them on the truck. Did you have to upgrade the steering rack and ps pump?

 

Thought that I should update my photo

 

kind of like this?

 

does anybody have a rattling noise when the AC is on? when im sitting idling i hear this rattling noise but when i push the clutch in it stops and when i let my foot off the peddle it makes the noise again. any help is appreciated!

 

Well, this looks like a reasonable place to share Gloria...

• 265/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs (Load Range C)
• Stock suspension
• Brute Force rear bumper (LineX'd)
• Interior mirror relo bracket (awesome)
• Toyota bed mat - god send on that slippery plastic bed floor!
• Two Ikea storage containers held to rear of bed as a "trunk" of sorts when I drop the tailgate.
• Trifecta Signature Series Tri-fold tonneau w/upgraded canvas fabric (think convertible top material)
• Cobra 75 WX ST Compact/Remote Mount CB Radio (Mag mount antenna)
• I do have the Husky shorty mud flaps, but have yet to install them.

 

Nothing crazy.

AFE Prodry filter
Worn out rubber Toyota floor mats
Rubber mud flaps
Painted stock wheels
255/75R16 Cooper Discoverer S/T
Bestop
Harbor freight bumper receiver for my bike rack and light towing

Keep it pretty clean, change the oil, and do work...that's about all.

 

I wish I had a little more $$$$ to do some more mods on mine.

 

Didn you sell your lift due to gas milleage

 

Throw out bearing, It went away when I replaced my clutch and bearing

ahhh ok, I have the fatbob's kit with 31's but yours looks super nice! I dig the stance

 

Jees, you scared me, I thought u stole mine and sold my racks

 

here's my 09. dakars, 884x's, small top plate spacer, trim packer, sky jacker h7045 rear shocks, home brew hybrid sliders and front bumper, toyota bed mat, dick cepek 265/75/16 mud countries, leer 100. recently had the driver side part of the bench updated with a bit more foam under my ass and in the lumbar area, visually not noticeable but def more supportive and comfortable. this truck has had all the usual problems covered under various tsb's and warranty, it still has a noisy driveshaft even though the shaft has less than 10k on it after the original was replaced. wish list is warn m6000 portable (bumper has receiver mount), lockright & high clearance rear. bumper and sliders are rusty as fawk after one long salty winter, they will get a new finish this spring sometime soon.

 

I must say my truck surprised me, I had been getting about 17-18 mpg at best driving "normal." I did an experiment the last week by doing my best to keep the rpm's under 2500, shifting early and keeping my speed below 70. Here's my results:





452.1 miles of mixed driving on 19.843 gallons, ~22.78 mpg. The best mileage I've gotten in over 3 years. My truck is a 2009, has 58700 miles, ~3" of lift, a topper, and 40% 265/75R16 Duratracs. I use Mobil One 0w20. I didn't do anything to my truck other than change my driving habits, tire pressure hasn't been checked in a month, K&N cold air intake is dirty. About 3500 miles since the last oil change.

 

The filter? They are good. My good friend uses them
