The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Yes you're probably right. You can get hub centric rings that fill the gap left between the hub and the wheel like I did. They're easy to find on Amazon and run around $10.

 

@vrod671 is running Tahoe rims if I recall correctly. (a sweet junkyard find?)

 

I believe Toyota's are larger as well.

Yes, I took them off of a Tahoe, but they were aftermarket wheels.

 

You can paint the rims too, you have a nice Grandpa!

 

I just picked up a 2013 RC 4x4 5spd white 56k miles with sliding glass and oem fogs. Has brand new 265/75/16 dynapro at's nitrogen filled Id like to trade!!

 

So far I changed plugs, cabin filter (which by the looks Im assuming the original owner did'nt know existed), air filter, carbon filter delete, clean throttle body, adjusted the bed, debadged, changed shift knob and debadged. Going to change all diff and trans fluids, bhlm, black emblems, tint, change brakes and rotors, wheels/tires, bilsteins, led tails, and give it a good detail (since I do that on the side). Im wanting to trade my 265/75 for some 265/70's.

 

Plastidiped the Grill this weekend

 

Match pretty good in person?! I thought about adding this to my list instead of buying a color matched one.

 

I'm going to swap to a trd grille and hood w/ scoop but for the time being I wanted a cheap facelift. 4 coats of white and 3 of the glossifier and I'd say it came within 5% of the 040 Super white, it's more of the texture that defuses the clear-coat. Looks great in person!

 

Taking apart the grille assembly was the most difficult part, and it was pretty basic to get the trim piece off.

 

Turned out great!

 

Talk about single cab probs. The OEM driveshaft sure doesn't like 18" of rear travel. I spent half the day yesterday correcting the previous owner's mistake of welding the spring under axle kit perch incorrectly, then welding a 10* shim to it to "try" to correct it. I was experiencing severe vibrations at any speed between 25-75mph. What I originally believed to be a U-joint, but after 2 weeks, I checked the U-joint again and it was completely shot. In fact, pulled it and found that 2 of the ends (inside the caps) had been sheared down to cone-shapes.

Long story short, got new axle perches from Kartek for $26.99, disassembled the rear suspension, took a grinder down to the old perches, set the pinion correctly, welded the new ones on, and bolted it all back together. Truck drives like a damn Prius now, had no idea so much of what I was experiencing was due to that pinion angle.

 

Great work!

 

So many nice new-ish white regular cabs rolling in!

 

♡

 

Probably not the place to ask this and I have googled it for two days. Can someone tell me if I can put trd OR or trd sport suspension on the regular cab? Im sure the front coils are stiffer to support the 4.0 but surely someone knows. Thanks.

 

Big Fat Dave likes. (Sorry NO picture for my like yet)

Sliders... Anyone w/ mobtown bolt on? Had been toying with the idea of sliders for a while and pretty sure I looked at mobtown website not long ago - price raised? They still offer reg cab sliders? Haven't emailed em' yet. Anyhow, those with the mobtown bolt ons... happy?

 

The only bolt on I know of at the moment: http://www.avidoffroad.com/cart/ind.../sliders/2012-2014-toyota-tacoma-sliders.html

Weld on:http://www.4xinnovations.com/2005--2016-Tacoma-Regular-Cab-Rock-Slider_p_76.html

 

SOS makes bolt-on and weld-on sliders for regular cabs. I will be ordering some soon.

 

Didn't even think to check avid. THANKS!

Wasn't long ago I was looking at mobtown and I swear they had the option for reg cab bolt on. I don't see that option now, just the double cab short/long bed. I'll still email them and see about price.
