The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

I like my silver truck, doesnt show scratches or dirt to bad. It doest look like a pest control truck either. I would like a spruce mica sr5 reg cab though.

 

Yep that's true huh never seen a speed way blue single cab I'm googling that shit right now hahaha

 

Ok waste of time it doesn't exist. Time to paint my shit to say I have the only one hahaha

 

2.7 speedway blue in access cab is pretty rare, I believe 2009 was the only year. I really want a 4x4 5 spd one.

 

Bet it only weighs 250 pounds more.

 

Coming from the guy running 35" tires haha

 

It's only 86lbs per tire and wheel for 35's

 

Yeah plus all the weight you took off chopping to get them in hahaha I'm not talkin smack I actually like them a lot just don't have the balls to do it myself

 

Honestly man the work isn't that much. When I first looked at doing it I thought it was going to be pretty challenging to make a clean cut. The tools needed are basic power tools most of us truck owners have too. Ill be doing a write up because all the guys that have done it leave out the small details like how to clean up the cut, which tools to use, etc. I am not even nervous to start cutting anymore . I'll be raping the cab mount tomorrow morning .

Pretty positive I have a fail proof way to have a super clean cut that could pass as stock...minus the fucking huge tires . Plus, I will be going the route that allows you to retain mounting points for the stock fenders so if I go back to a smaller tire I can just buy new flares and look stock again

 

I think the cutting is worth it just to have fenders that look better on the truck. I hate how wide the stock ones are.

Looks 20x better to me.

 

Yep the stock flares on second gens look huge, they look even worse on a base truck with black ones, unless the body is a dark color.

 

Yours wouldnt look bad since you'd cut about half of them off anyways.

 

I really think you should trim the fenders and put them back on kase . Or at least fill the holes with modified clips or bolts. The holes distract from how bad ass it is.

 

If he got 38s he could cut out the fenders past the flare holes.

 

Just find a silver taco and pull em off

 

I got white ones u can paint em.

 

Kase, how come you don't just fill them? little welding, body filler and paint??? I think that would look pretty good, the body already has a bit of a flare to it anyway.

 

I really like the little mod where you smooth out the clips and put a rubber washer in between. I wish I took more time on it and got each one looking beautiful.

 

Hopefully you will take the time and make it clean . Something like this?

 

I think if I did it I would find out where my arm rests comfortably. The windows sit a tad high right now and sometimes feels like I am forcing myself to hang an arm.
