The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

I've done 12 in a day. Woke up the next day and did 4 more.

 

Nah no driving im flying... going in true offroad style

 

I've done Austin in 2 days twice.
Didn't bother me.
I could do Austin and back in 3 days if I were just picking up something.

 

Mine idles there often. Kinda bugs me. And it's almost sorta rough. But I've got no CEL and as far as I know and my truck is mechanically sound.

 

Mine idled low a for a few days after I unplugged the batt. And changed plugs

 

Atlanta motor speedway, road atlanta, durahmtown plantation. In canton theres a big car show on the third sat. Nite of each month. Im pretty sure stockbridge is near stone mountain, its pretty cool. Ive heard little 5 points is fun but Im not sure whats there maybe just a road with alot of bars or something. I try to.stay outside the perimeter because atlanta is kind of a shithole.

 

I can handle long drives with my bucket seats but when I had the bench seat I would only be able to handle a couple hours.
I had my truck idle that low when I've had the battery unplugged for a little bit it had me worried the first time it happened

 

Clutter Catcher in the middle of my bench made it much more comfortable, having a place to rest my arm.

A bucket would be better, but this works.

 

I picked up mine with 4K on the odo for just a hair over 17K. However, this was in 2012 and it's a 2008.

Yea, it was a 'farm truck' that got driven once a month to move hay and sat in a barn. I cleaned out mouse nests from both bed cubbys, the cabin air filer, and the intake the day I brought it home. It averaged 1K a year in miles from 2008-2012.

 

For you guys that think it rough in a reg cab, rich may have one of these patches though

Almost.

Downey Idaho to Los Angeles in 16 hours with one other rider.
Heavy thunder storms and high winds through southern Utah and the California Desert. Beautiful ride through Nevada and northern Utah... got sunscreen in my eye just out of Downey and had to pull off at a gas station every 20 miles or so to rinse until we got to a Walmart in Salt Lake and got some proper eye-wash.

 

Most Ive rode mine was 200-250 miles in a 6 hours and I was pooped,no interstate though.

 

Oh man... Unless I blew through an entire tank, I didn't feel like I had ridden anywhere.

550 was my limit with my wife on the back though... bathroom and food stops eat up a lot of time that I wouldn't take on my own.
450 on a group ride is really, really pushing it with 10-15 bikes, since every fuel stop becomes a social event.

I did LA to Portland a couple of times in my '94 Toyota P/U. Did LA to Denver in one shot in the Tundra.

 

I made a arm rest for mine but the way the bench seat back rest didn't recline very much killed my neck a back. So I put some seats from a fj cruiser in it plus the came with armrest

 

Those are some sexy trucks

I knew that second one looked familiar

 

I know the feeling of not riding anywhere but my bike only has 100-140 mile range. Its ok.though I need to take a break by then anyways.
I guess the most miles Ive been in one day that I can remember is 250. When I was a little kid I went to disney it atleast 600 but I slept for all of it.

 

Would love to have something like that up here, however, Id have no place to really use it ha ha. No desert really. Guess I could stumble on to the dirt bike track ha ha.

 

yeah i forgot about this until i changed my alternator 2 weeks ago. my truck was idling around 3-400 rpm and shaking. i had to drive it about 10 miles before it ran like it did before. right around the 8 mile mark i was thinking oh sh*t. i really screwed something up lol
