The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Ive had my truck about two years. Just joined TW!

 

Welcome! Nice truck.

Thanks! Same to you!

 

Installed a subwoofer and the beginning of some organized storage behind the bench.

 

That sub would fit nicely in DC storage bins....which fit nicely behind the seats

 

Haven't been active in here lately but I recently took a trip out west! I will be doing a trip report when I get some time but here is a picture in the meantime

 

I thought about going that route, but I wanted the sub in the center to leave as much room on each side as possible. My girlfriend and I each have a backpack when we go somewhere so fitting both became my design constraint. The oem plastic bins just seemed like they took up a lot of space without adding a lot of usable storage. i see you added some molle panels to yours, which would help, but I still think some custom storage is the way to go.

 

Goals.

 

Do you still have some room between the seat and the storage bins? I tried putting some in my truck, and to be comfortable driving, there was no room for the storage bins behind the seats .

 

I still can't believe we actually pulled it off haha

 

Any of you 4x4 guys regear? I'm looking for stock 4.10 clamshell gear

 

I have my seat all the way back like in my old AC for legroom and the only thing I lost after adding the bins is 1 click of leaning back, which is plenty doable. The organization of all my "stuff" I carry is well worth it vs it all piled behind seats on floor and underneath the seats. Oh, but to answer your question about room between seats and bins...........no, none. the seat is leaned at same angle as front of bins and pushed back with legs to click in the last click of legroom. The back of the seat keeps the standing stuff in the bins in place....fire ext, toolkit and such.

 

Okay, that's what I thought. When I tried to put them in my truck, I had to move my seat one or two clicks forward from were I usually sit, so it made it uncomfortable to use the clutch. Now that I put some 3rd Gen seats in my truck, the bins would definitely not fit, as these seats are much wider than the 2nd gen seats.

 

Where did you find 3rd gen seats?

 

I found them in a salvage yard down in CT. I really wasn't ready to buy any seats, but these were such a killer deal, I didn't want to pass them up.

 

Took a trip out to Corolla, NC.

 

Here is my new (to me) 2011 single cab. Its a 5-speed with 126k miles on it and has been used like a truck should. It will be getting a long list of upgrades to make it a beast on the trails, but in the meantime ill enjoy it as is.


NO RAGRETS

 

Well now we're gonna need pics of all this................
