The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

M18 Hellcat. Same one that was in a episode of Lock N Load. It was also used by sound engineers for the movie Fury to record impact sounds against armor.

Firing this thing is intense.

 

So you own it? Just sits in your front yard?

 

Pics or gtfo

 

Haha i saw that thread but didnt pay attention to who started it

 

Congrats man!

kase, did you ever make another build thread?

 

I want a 4runner for my daily in the future . Jealous of the v6! Kinda...i love this little motor too.

 

No build thread till I make a few changes and get her looking good again

 

She looks fine as she sits right now ha ha.

 

For shit's sake get some new tail lights.

 

What PSI did you find worked best for the AT2s? I just got some Grabber AT2s in LT245/75/16 (Load E). Shop put them at 40, which was obviously too high. I did the chalk test and have them at 32 in the front and 30 in the rear.

Based on the chalk test, I could probably still go lower but I don't know if I am comfortable going much lower than 30. Just wondering what you found gave you a good tire life with the lightweight reg cab?

Thanks!

 

Debatable! Haha jk. I think he's just cleaning up some of the derp and is going to care about appearance as much as functionality.

 

Yep. Getting some tail lights and fender flares next weekend.

Seat covers and weathertechs this weekend

Then headlights and grille sometime in the next couple weeks.
That should clean up the appearance some.

Ordering 4.88's front/rear sometime next month hopefully too.


Then gotta save up for the CBI Dakar bumper


And thennnnn I'll start a new build thread lol

So should have it all within 3-4 months.

Don't have rent or big bills so just taking all my money from my paychecks and dumping it into the taco
Insurance said I could get the dents repaired but I'm not sure if I care to pay the $500 deductible yet.

 

Worry about the dents AFTER Moab. Haha.

People always ask how I afford all these parts. They never believe me when I say all my fun money goes to gas and truck parts. I eat chicken and rice for most my meals or pb&j's. Occasionally I go out drinking or grab a 6pack for home but outside of rent, insurance and phone that's it. Hell I haven't bought new clothes for a few years now. Maybe one shirt here and there so I don't look like a scrub on a first date haha.

 

Yeeaaa see


I found out that I don't start to acrue vacation time until after being here for 6 months

Moab is exactly 6 months from my hire date lol

Gonna have a talk with em in a month to ask for personal time off or something for the trip.

If they say no... Either I'll get a new job lined up so I can quit and goto moab then start new job.

Or have to miss moab


Oh the problems with working lol

 

Shitll buff out haha. I am still unsure if I can go. Most summer jobs are just whatever work they can find to give you. It isn't a job were there rely on your presence so I am hoping they won't mind me taking a few days off.

 

Just got off phone with ECGS. They couldn't custom order me some 5.29's for the front diff nor explain why there are none available.

Which sucks. So guess I'll be sticking with 4.88s.

But on the bright side! They said they could install the Detroit locker I have for me so I don't have to buy a new one from em. They just couldn't warranty it. But they'd Stillman warranty their gears for 5 years.

 

Ya, no 5.29's for 2nd gens. 4.88s are awesome though and I bet you'll enjoy them.

 

But 37's are in the future and if Ima regear, I might as well plan ahead


But oh whale.

 

You'll be fine if its a trail rig. And driving it shouldn't be that bad. Slightly undergeared since 36s stock.

 

Yep.

Gonna cut mine completely out when I goto 37's and tub it all.
