The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

truck looks good!

 

I wouldn't consider any motor swap easy haha.

 

Thanks!

 

Motor swap should come before SAS tho IMHO. Would suck to have to build or find a custom oil pan because of links in the way or to find out youd have to redo your whole suspension setup to fit the engine. Just a thought.

 

That's the spirit! That's where I'm at with mine. Of course, ridiculous offers in my favor could warrant consideration. I might trade it for a nice 2nd home somewhere out away from stuff where I could moan about missing the truck without pissing off the neighbors. I still miss the 82 but I go out of town to moan about it or silently post about missing it on a forum instead, lol. Modding the 08 keeps my mind off of it.

 

good point, but id drop in an LS to take it to the drag strip... so i would avoid 4wd all together. IF it was me doing the swap.

 

But... 4wd= launch!

 

So this was bothering me that I didn't realize I had 2 cup holders in each door. Wow, learned something new about my truck today! I'll take pictures tonight.

 

Yeah I wish I could keep my door pockets empty enough to uses these.. need a center console.

 

two cup holders on each door (4), two under climate control (2), one in the console (1), and two in behind the armrest (2).

That's 9 cup holders in my regular cab lol

 

Mine are 4 in the doors, 2 in back of center console & 3 behind the shifter in cntr console. 5 spd.............yep, 9 for 2 people max.

 

Got me feeling like a basic bitch with only 6 cup holders

 

The thirst is real...or so they say

That is a sweet truck! I am actually leaning towards a custom canvas canopy like that instead of a fiberglass or aluminum cap.

 

What's your intended use of the cap again? Just storage or to secure an rtt of some sort?

 

Dual purpose. Keep all my gear and bikes in and out of sight while driving, sleeping in off truck trails and at the head of hiking trails during my PNW and Alaska trek.

 

With your Tee-pi do you use a cot?

 

I don't but you could use one. I want an ultra light cot for it but don't want to spend the $$$ on something thats not a big deal for me.

 

That thing is sweet! I love the idea of having a flat bed when you need it then a canopy if you want to keep gear dry or have dogs back there. That build has so many gears turning in my head about what I'd do differently to that setup.
