The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Not a Tacoma technically, but its a regular cab and it's heartbeat is a Tacoma

 

Finally got my beadlocks and 315s on. Love the way it turned out…. I don’t rub around town but I know I will off-road. Cab mount relocation and sledge persuading to come…

 

Looks badass! I like the bobbed bed.

 

Thanks buddy! I did that last summer, about 16 hours labor… what a job.

 

Improved

 

Looking to up-size from my 265 75 16. Seriously considering the 255 85 16 pizza cutters.
For those of you that have them, how do you like them?
Not alot of options in this size, which tire did you go with?

 

Running 255/75/17 (lighter) on mine with 4.56 gears. She gets along just fine

 

Running wildpeaks 255/80/17s and it's not so bad. Gotta change gears on an incline sometimes but it's not a complete slug with stock gearing.

 

Anyone around Denver or Pittsburgh thinking about selling their single cab?

 

Anyone anywhere want to possibly sell?

 

Look at the 1st gen and the 2nd gen side by side the 2nd gen is much bigger they both are running 31's with 2.7 the 1st gen is an auto 2wd and the 2nd gen is manual 4wd.

 

Hey Trasey I love the stance of your truck what type of suspension do you have on it?

 

I haven't seen any regular cabs for sale, a bunch of quad cabs and some extended.

 

Thanks! I have bilstein 6112 + 5150 shocks combined with Old man emu MD lead springs. The front coilovers are set to the 4th notch but if I were to do it over again, I'd set them to the 3rd notch. Suspension feels good on the road and fine for the few wheeling trips I do a year.

 

bought it at Reuther Ford. was purchased new across the highway at Twin City Toyota.

 

I traded mine in Marion but did buy it at Twin city

 

Happy 4th !

 

I just finished a 4800 mile roadtrip on my reg cab, its maiden voyage under my ownership. We started in NOLA, visited Texas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and back to Louisiana.

I need new leafpacks, badly.

 

I'm finally ready to make the change from 32s to 33s. Been wanting to go up in size for awhile but now its time. I currently have 265 75 16 and what has been holding me back is the lack of tires for 16 wheels in C load. I dont need the extra weight from the E loads.
This weekend I scored a great deal on some 17 inch methods from a fellow tacomaworld member:


I plan to move to 285 70 17 load C tires.
They now put BFG KO2 stock in this size on alot of jeeps. Lots of people selling brand new takeoffs for cheap, so I'm gonna try to snag some. I am also considering Nitto Ridge Grapplers but the BFGs are lighter.

Anyone want to try to talk me out of going 33s? I know I can fit them but a little worried about more rotational weight. Luckily the BFGs are only slightly heavier than what I currently have.

 

I'll try to talk you out of it with two words...four cylinders.
