The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

whew dem welds

 

Considering upgrading my front shocks on my 07 to some 4600 series bilsteins, I believe they came on the Trd models but I'm not sure. Are they compatible? Worth the trouble? I don't plan on doing anything more than getting some for the rear down the line and maybe level out the stock lift. Maybe just go for the 5100s?

Just wanted to drop this here...finally created it. First build thread ever and im sure i left some things out

 

i havent posted any pics of my truck in a while. heres a couple quick ones in the driveway. i had to pick up fence panels a few weeks ago so i took the bestop off. its not gonna be warm enough to get that thing back on for a few weeks yet so i'm rockin the truck with out the bestop for now. CB antenna is off too right now.

loaded up with a bunch of ceiling boards i'm ripping down from inside my garage.

 

new shoes

 

Are those 255? Jealous of the first gen and the dog!

 

they're 31" and thanks dude... i did some bonding with the truck this weekend. almost forgot how it looked all clean up. my dog eventually got mud prints on the paint from hanging out the side.

 

Agreed but I prefer black seats

 

Do they not make black cloth seats for 2nd gen tacomas

 

Never knew that. I got black seats from a fj cruiser all the mounts were the same

 

I have fell in love with the bench seat. I love not having gaps to lose my phone or wallet. I have drove 13+ hours with no more back pain than I have had with nicer buckets too. When I take my parents dog it likes the sit in the middle and poke its head out the back window.

I think buckets add more storage but I have yet to run into an issue with that. Its always fun fitting 2 passengers for a short period too.

 

I love this!! How'd you find and install the seats? Do you have a write up?

 

well black seats in arizona during the summer...

 

Black anything in heat. Ugh. I am glad we have a short period where it hits 90's here and a few days above 100 degrees. Ill keep my breezy 60-70 degree weather and freezing winters!

 

This is literally all it takes plus you will need to find four more bolts to mount the bucket seats in

 

Welp I'm doing it! Did you find your seats at a junkyard or from someone parting out their truck? Where's the best places to start looking? sorry for all the questions

 

It's all about the 33" ha the true 33" not 31 1/2 or some bs tires like that deff wish I got red though I'm diggin that red 4x4. That first gen looks mean. Almost got me ready to buy a dc first gen

 

I thought I was the only one to like the bench seat. It's surprisingly comfortable and sometimes it's fun to carry 2 passengers for a short period of time. I wish it was easier to find a seat cover for the bench seat though.

 

A cheap one that is worth a shit is the hard part of finding a bench seat cover. Wet Okole has a great one.

 

I might have to splurge one day.
