So, I made a new decal for the 2.7L owners...

    First, it's been a long time since I posted last. I used to have a 2010 TRD Sport, but got talked into selling it in 2017 because I got tired of paying on it. Took the equity and bought a 20 year old Z71. Been hopping between those and Wranglers ever since.

    Well, I told myself it's about time I get back in the Taco game, and this Saturday I'll be taking a look at a 2019 ext. cab SR 4x4 with the 2.7L engine for $24,000. I'm probably going to end up getting it if it checks out okay since it's in the Rust Belt.

    Anyway, I plan on "tricking it out" overtime, and one of the first things I wanted to add is a TRD decal. But it couldn't be a standard decal. No. I had to make one that "fits" the truck. And after a few days of researching the 2.7L engine and brainstorming, I came up with this:

    I've got to work out the edges since I made this in Paint.Net, but you get the idea. :)

    Oh look, another mod....

    A more appropriate sticker for the 2.7 engine should be "TRD - High MPG Edition" I always hear stories about you fuckers getting like....27/28 MPG's.

    I got 18 max in my old 2.7L, but that was MT and I live near the mountains where you have to redline the fucker in 2nd just to stay at the speed limit going uphill.

    Stickermule or Vista Print? I’ve used Vista for business cards, they are good. Just be sure it’s outdoor & sun resistant.

    Yeah, the 2.7L is SLO as in “slow”. It’s slow moving. Lol

    Slo is San Luis Obispo Which is pretty much slow as it is. I would expect to see an “805” sticker on that truck.

    As long as the 2.7 isn't over weighted, over tired, I wouldn't consider it a dog when comparing to the 3.5.
