The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

There is only so many ways to make a bumper that looks good . I think the hybrid market is there but hasn't been explored much. Bruteforce and pelfreys hybrids look almost identical to me. If I had the skills and the know how I would take allpros new apex design and make a clean hybrid out of it.



I think with some filler plates it would make it stand out and still look awesome. The weight savings between the hybrid/plate isn't that big anyways. Just my thoughts though.

 

If you make it out to NY/PA let me know, hopefully by then I'll have found some closer places to me to go wheeling. If not I'd definitely meet you at Rausch creek or something

 

I will let you know but that is a long time away. Ill probably decide come september and try to start planning places/costs if I do go that route. Reg cab guys get priority of course

 

can you run those with minor trimming or no?

 

No way. You have to rape the cab mount, beat the piss out of the pinch weld and then take 2'' out of the fenders.

But really, it is pretty minor when you think about it. You have to do the CMC for 33's anyways. If you do a snorkel or a high clearance rear bumper you will be cutting the fenders too. It's not a completely irreversible mod soo I will consider it minor.

 

yeah man I guess lol I sent that then realized yeah there practically 35s so kinda a dumb question but good luck man!

 

Ha thanks. Check out singlecabguys build. He has some pics of all the cutting needed. I believe a 3 inch lift + a 1 inch body lift is enough to fit 35's with minor trimming.

 

Man, I'm gonna be very jealous when you guys are all rolling around on 35s and I just got my 33s haha

 

I hear ya I'm still trying to decide between 265 or 285 lol and these guys are doing 35!

 

I went 285... Stick around this site for a while and you'll be wanting 37s soon enough

 

theres this single cab with a 6 inch pro comp lift its on 37s I wish it was my truck

 

Haha well that's partially why I just made the leap. I know the minute I see 35's I would want them. After 4 months of 33's I would think they are small again . Plus, I have some tougher trails planned this summer and they are really gonna help since I am not heavily armored yet.

265 is a great tire size with a 2.5'' lift if you don't do a whole lot of wheeling. Keeps the taco drive able for most and you will learn how to pick good lines when you do go wheeling.

I would suggest going to 285 if you plan on wheeling a decent bit and will be active with TW Meets.

 

Until he leaves Missouri there won't be much of any meets he'll be going to I bet haha

He's here with me...

 

Ouch, well then 265's if you feel like looking better than stock. 285's if you want to look awesome next to other tacomas.

 

You both should take leave together and then Monte will be forced to throw together another epic

 

Trying to go to Wyoming at the end of July for one of the meets

 

yeah were both kinda screwed like completely lol

 

I saw. Let me know when you have exact dates. I live 45 minutes from the colorado border so I can get something together down here then probably head up north with you to meet the other guys depending on dates.

 

Yeah.. You're welcome to join me if I go in July haha

Sounds good! I'll let you know as soon as I get official dates!

 

Join him tacofox! You can tackle most of everything we will do in Wyoming with 265's on a reg cab. You will want to take some bypasses if you don't have sliders but o well.
