The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

You want my bench? I'll take your buckets!

 

I guess I'm one of the few that prefers the bench seat.

 

When I first got my truck I hated the bench seat. It's not so bad now that I'm used to it. I still would have changed them out for buckets, but I don't want to lose the air bag. Not that I want to retain them, just don't want there to be any possible insurance issues if I have a bad wreck.

 

while on the topic of bench seats, has anyone completely blow out the seat?


cause i have already..



edit: like i sit and inch or two lower since its all bouncy now.. and my ass hits the bottom of the cab sometimes

 

hahahah okay at least im not the only one. i was in glamis and hit a g out pretty good and on the way up, my ass hit the floor of the cab and my buddy turned and asked, why are you a few inches shorter? we busted up laughing after i told him i blew threw the seat

 

What seats did you put in? Im almost done installing some power leathers from an accord.

 

Got some new wheels and tires on today! MB TKO's wrapped in 265/70/17 cooper atp's. What ya think

 

Looks good man! What kind of lift you running?

 

Its pro comp 3in coil spacer in front...and a 2in add a leaf in the back.
I just picked up some pro comp pro runner shocks that im gonna put on this weekend

 

My All-pro ifs skid came and i got some questions. 1) Its bare so what is the best way to clean the metal before priming? 2) what hardwear do I use? Can I reuse the oem bolts?
I might have more but thats it for now.

 

Looks sharp.... nice and clean

 

As far as cleaning it I didn't I just sprayed it down with some primer.I'm pretty sure you can use the original bolts

 

thanks.

Would anyone know if the All-pro skid needs extra bolts? It looks like it bolts to the cross member.

 

I always clean armor thoroughly before applying paint. The steel has a thin coat of oil on it to prevent rusting during shipping and handling, and that keeps paint from sticking real well. It "seems" like it sticks, but then later you find out it chips really easily.

 

^Mine are all branch scratched, seems like a fun little change. .

Also saw some talk about getting rid of that bench seat. I'd be interested in pics of that guy throwing accord seats in. I have some Audi seats collecting dust in my basement. ...hmmm

 

What are they? Just stick on plastic dots?

 

Alright dont kill me for asking but without looking thru 300 pages of this thread....what are the best coils to run on my single cab with no bumper or winch in the front and remain around a 3in lift and safe to wheel?

I have a 3in spacer now and i just ordered pro comp pro runner shocks all around with the ride height adjustable in the front. I just dont feel comfy adjusting the shock to gain lift. I want coils. If it helps i have a 2in add a leaf in the rear.

 

My truck is sitting on 884 OME coils with no top plate spacers, but with the 5mm trim packer for the driver's side. 2" AAL in the rear. It's been about a month and the front has settled to 2 13/16" lift. I figured if the front sagged to much I'd just add the top plate 1/4" spacers (for +1/2 lift), but right now I like the rake and it rides good.

 

Thats what i was seeing the most was the 884's but i was wondering what everyone was running in this thread.

 

alright so based on the comments i think ill be doing 884s with the top plates...my rear is about three inches over stock height ( wheelers HD packs from Alcan ) and i need to get the front done now.i did the rear because of a broken leaf spring and knew id be upgrading the front too.been stink bugging for a couple months now saving funds for the front end.im ready for the front end parts now just want to make sure im as close to level with the rear as can be after the front coils settle in....but no bro stance either
