The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Good day for my Scout vehicle. New Scorpion bumper with Warn EVO winch. Thanks @iDiggs9 for leading the way on this.

 

The glove box organizer came a day early! My wife laughs at me because she says I get just as excited getting a $20 item for Tacoma as I do a $900 winch.

 

Painted st whl ornaments.....couldn't handle the silver.....

 

My 2011. Threw on some 285/75/16’s on 16x8 -25 offset

 

Finally found a camper shell for this thing, my days of watching Craigslist and facebook marketplace like a hawk are over.

 

I wish so badly that my shell had a flip up side window. Nice find!

 

Sweet setup man.
What have you modded to avoid rub?
CMC etc...

 

this thread makes me want a single cab

 

Thanks. No CMC done . It does rub a tiny bit under full lock.. all I’ve done so far is trimming of the front fenders.

 

Truck looks great Chris!

I like those 3rd Gen wheels on your truck JD! Nice job finding a camper shell, I am happy with mine.

 

Any 2wd manual folks find this strange when servicing their DS:



Made a thread about it since I couldn’t find any info in a search:

No, not at all. Rear gearbox seal seals around driveshaft. Yes, some gearbox oil will leak out unless rear is jacked up or oil is drained.

 

Right - being the only 2wd truck I own I just was so used to a driveshaft unbolting from flanges at each end and the transfer case being sealed at the flange.

At 185k I’m hearing a rattle / slight grinding noise on coasting in gear above 35-50mph and maybe on acceleration. From what I read it could be the driveshaft and unfortunately there’s not really anything I can do maintenance wise besides put in new u joints but being in SoCal they look fine with no corrosion or looseness / play in them. Hate to put in new parts that aren’t needed.

 

I have been working on the little 4cylinder beast….

 

How are you liking the bfg km3's? Truck looks good btw.

 

And I really like the way the bed molle panel worked out

 

I really like the KM3 tires, they have been very tough and I love the cookie cutter size on the 4 banger

 

I've had all bfg a/t and m/t tires, just put my 1st set of km3's on my "new" to me 1st gen taco. So far, the ride and really low noise is great, haven't had a chance to take them offroad yet though.
