The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

I like my 2nd gear when off roading. Honestly all I can say is I'm sooooooooooooo happy I don't own a 2.7L automatic I would shoot myself, they have to be so sluggish and crappy no offense guys but I love being able to control my gears and with my k&n and future headers it won't be much but it will make it better.

 

What were you looking at for headers? I'm leaning towards the LCE header, but the Doug Thorley looks pretty good too.

 

X2 I even drove the 4.0 auto and couldn't take it, Toyota made the 5 speed right on this truck.

Sure the 4.0 had more balls but with the auto it wasn't nearly as fun to drive, haven't checked out a 6 speed but everyone bitches about them anyways

 

LCE with no doubt in my mind.

Also I have fox 2.0 coilovers lil stiff but over all would never change.

 

After my truck is paid off I'm dropping a LS2 or along those lines. I just wanna keep it 6 speed. lot has to change on the truck but over all it will be a truggy

 

Reason #4069137 why California sucks .

 

One of the 647485839376449293764494 and 1 reasons I'm movin to Vegas. Just got done smoggin so I'm good for 5 years and I'll be leaving in two.

Gelo you 4x4?

 

5 years?

Did they change something? It's been every 2 years forever.

 

Keep driving like 10 hours and move to wyo

 

And there's prolly 4 other things on my truck that's off-road use only. Like light bars in Cali need to be covered when not off roading....???

F you pull me over I'm so sick of all these stupid laws when the big wigs rape our state and take our money just like the guy on CNN who was just arrested hahaha ok change of subject we have good weather in San Diego and beautiful beaches and nice off road spots.. See there is positives

 

Mine is an 08 and had to do it 5 years after. Then I think it goes to two or stays 5 I dunno either way in 6 months it's a truggy for off road use only

 

That's what I thought.

I heard they were making a change, but now that I recall, it was moving away from the chassis dyno/sniffer test and just doing a visual and polling the OBD-II port for codes since the OBD-II system will throw a CEL if anything is bad enough to throw it out of spec.

I'll probably have to smog my '08 this year.
I've had to do my wife's '04 Rav4 twice... last year and '11.

 

Wife has the v6 dcsb. I'll end up getting a f250 or something I dunno kind of mad Toyota doesn't make a Diesel. You guys might be right on the two year thing in ever owned a car long enough to have to smog it.

 

Yeah I didn't feel anything. But we're waAAAAAAY past due. I remember being in la for the quake back in 94 freaky stuff but we're far from over.

 

Today was a good day

 

Hmmm, just got off the phone with discount tire. They are ordering in 315/75 r16 MT/R's . I am inbetween that tire and the Hankook RT03. Leaning more towards the RT03 because of price and overall reviews.

 

I have the hankooks, about 7k on them so far and still look pretty new. Not loud at all for a mt, do well in snow, no complaints offroad

 

Snow is what is pushing me towards them. If I were to go wheeling next month it would still be snow wheeling . Plus they remind me of humvee tires with the tread. MT/R's look cool but supposedly are not that great in snow

 

Truck looks great man. Looks like some sloppy terrain though! You gonna buzz up to Wyo this summer ?

 

I actually like the stock bumper on the reg cabs. I will be looking at a bumper probably next september...if you can design a sweet hybrid I would be interested . Since living out of the truck doesn't seem to be working out I think I will be taking next summer off and meeting TW'ers all over the states for a summer worth of wheeling, beer, and good times. I will for sure be swinging by texas
