The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

my 2012 after a couple more mods

 

I always get compliments on my truck. It is very unique. There are no radical mods made to it. A lot of people can hardly believe that it has the original paint job.

What I love about it is the mods that you cannot see. Almost everything in the truck has been replaced as either preventative maintenance or regular. It has all LED lights except for the headlights and one tiny light in the dash that I cannot change out. I have replaced all of the bushings. The people at Les Schwab said that they have never seen a truck with a front end that's as tight as this truck.

I love it. Except there are random issues that come up that drive me crazy.

 

I like your truck a lot. I like how simple it is. It's the first single cab I have seen in awhile that looks good. I was never a fan of the second gen single cabs until now.

 

Thanks man. I really appreciate it. Never thought I would get a Tacoma since I always had fords, but I like my taco more than anything I've ever had.

 

Only one shot so far.
Bone stock '08 5 lugger that I picked up last December.
I've got a shell on order and am beginning work on a Satoshi.

 

2012yota how does ur stuck drive with them tires>? hows the gearing i should say? is it sluggish now?

 

My first post!

 

Nice truck man! I love the wheels, what're they?

 

Not too bad. I have factory gears. The tires equate to a 33.2 I believe. They are allterrains even thought my buddies call them highway tires, they performed amazing on the trails. No slipping. I can still accelerate decent in 5th on the hwy and maintain speed in 5th up a slope on the interstate. Your not going to win a race against a minivan or anything but its better than my old 2.4 jeep that had 33s. So overall yea I noticed a little but not much.

 

Look like motometals a little

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$ navy don't pay that well. Eventually I may but I haven't ran into a situation where I needed more gear.

 

I'm not much of a reg cab person, but all tacomas are tacomas and are equally awesome. No matter what year, size engine, or body. All of them are sick!

 

Luvin my Reg cab....does everything I want it to do and no complaints

 

Haha I was in san diego when I had my 2.4 jeep. Almost didn't think it would make it up big bear mtn. I just threw a turbo on the wrangler and called it a day.

 

I need to crank up the ICON's after I threw on the plate bumper. The old, All-Pro hybrid, was much lighter. Maybe going 35's soon, and have a few "mods" planned. Truck now has center caps on the steelies. EDIT: yes, the bumper is tweaked a bit, that is not chassis flex.

 

late chime in but here's my 96 reg cab the day i picked her up 5/26/11


after a week of having it i got tired of the chrome and painted the rims black
