The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

11th grade and a beautiful truck? Are you adopting? <-- Because I could use a truck like this.

 

@overado was that you this morning on rt3/93 north?

 

Haha too funny...yup! I was just about to ask the same thing!

 

Haha! Truck looks sick!

 

Thanks man! Put a lot of work into her...your truck is looking mighty clean! We should get the trucks together maybe explore that spot I was telling you about

 

im down man that would be sick. I still need to throw in my SPC UCAs and 885s.

 

The spc UCAs are super easy I did mine about a month ago. I still havnt had an alignment done though haha...I swapped out my front suspension I was way to high and hated how the truck rode and handled...brought the front end down 3 inches somehow even though my Fox 2.0 shocks are allegedly set at 2". what a difference in every aspect of driving thing rides like a Cadillac!

PSA!! do not buy Bilstein adjustable and use the 3 inch eibach coils on our Reg cabs it is brutal. Those eibach coils look like they belong on a 3/4 ton truck

 

i have the eibachs on their now but they are the 1.6" and not the 3". still want to throw the 885s on and set the 5100s back to 0. I bought my UCAs used and then got new bushings and ball joints that still have to be assembled. Im a total novice when it comes to wrenching on anything with a motor

Hay, someone left some stuff in your bed.............and that rooster looks gangsta......

 

Just upgraded wheels/tires this weekend. Also installed OEM (replacement) power window regulators. What a great addition that was/is.

 

Do you do anything special for wash/wax? What about the plastic?

 

Got lucky and found a place woth trails/tons of mud and sand 15 minutes from my house. Sadly ripped a skid plate so guess it's time for an upgrade.

 

Nice truck! Could you PLEASE do a write-up on the power window installation??

 

I started using Mother's synthetic wax. I got a free sample of it when I bought a clay bar kit last year, and I really like it. I also use Mother's Back to Black on the fender flares (such as they are), and the front bumper. It's sort of like a really thick vinyl dressing, like Armor-All.

I can, I will. But please bear with me, as I didn't take any pics along the way. As it turns out though, I need to take the door panel off to see what's up with my power lock on the driver's door, so I will get some pics then. Hopefully I can carve out some time this weekend to do that.

I will say, the PW upgrade has been SO nice. The PL upgrade has been a bit dicey, this will be the 2nd time taking a door panel off to fix them.

 

I have been thinking of doing power windows myself would be a massive upgrade! Would love to see a write up...also with the power locks can you use a key fob to lock and unlock the doors?

 

Yeah I had a Viper remote start unit installed by Best Buy last year. I upgraded the remote and added the locks myself.
Here's the write-up I did on that. It only covers the mechanical installation, not the wiring.
In my install, the power locks are ONLY actuated with the remote, I didn't bother installing interior switches for them.

I will be attempting this one day. All the required parts (hopefully) are sitting in a bin that I kept from my 05 AC part out....
