The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Y’all, go follow the rebuild of my old rig. New owner is taking it up to a new level

I get the same, not going to sell though.

 

I have Gibsons 2.5" cat back and I love it so far, no drone at all but still decently loud

 

Gorgeous color. I wish I had that color.

 

That's painful.
If you come to Santa Barbara, we can go for a spin.

 

How does it sound?
What is the rest of you setup? Speakers etc.
Thanks!

 

Yes. I put in some Morels from Crutchfield and a JBL amp.

 

Not bad, even though I currently have a shitty boss amp powering it. Definitely helps fill in the bass, but volume drops off at the very low end. I think it needs more power because it definitely sounds better after breaking it in. I have polk audio db6501 component speakers installed in place of the stock 6.5" woofer and tweeter connected to a pioneer deh-x8800bhs setup in network mode (woofers and tweeters each powered by their own channel). Again needs more power so I'm planning on getting a 4-channel amp to power them.

Looks like this now

 

Has anyone had one of these 2trfe engines on a dyno? Wikipedia claims its rated for 180 ft lbs. The diesel I am swapping into it only has 123 hp and 190 ft lbs, so wouldn’t be much of an upgrade.

 

2TR is nowhere near that during normal driving rpm, you'll maintain 123 and 190 up a hill

 

Had it for a little over a week now. Picked it up at a local used car place/body shop.
2.7L, Auto trans, 4WD.

 

So you think I should do it? I am in Australia right now, Thinking about just selling my truck and importing this thing

 

@Bell214b import one for me too! Thing is sick!

 

eventually that’s my plan, import for other people

 

Congrats! How many miles? How much$?

 

124,000 miles, $12,000, was told the truck has highway miles and was driven by a teacher. I've worked in the automotive field my entire life and they tried lying to me.
I know it's high miles but it's a Toyota. Thing runs great, a little slow because of the 4-cyl. Body is in almost perfect condition, small dent in R/F fender, couple of dings in tailgate and a small dent in the pass. bedside from when the rear bumper was hit. I'll wait until spring to have them fixed.
I need to really clean the inside, smalls like dog and a car that has just been detailed. No water leaks into the cab (a huge plus for me), little to no rust on the frame and the interior is in decent shape (couple scuff marks here and there).

 

Is that a thing with these trucks?

 

Not that I've heard or read about but working in the field for as long as I have, I've seen enough water leaks to have a special hate for them.

 

Lol ok

 

Those things are beautiful.
