The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

That'll be one badass truck with the bumper and all.


How long till the gears and locker are in? I want a locker sooooo bad!

 

Gears should have arrived today...but I have been buried in books at the library. Won't be able to touch them for 2 weeks probably

 

Ouch man, I would have a very hard time keeping my nose in the books knowng what's waiting at home. Props to your dedication!

 

Trust me, I am very eager! Sometimes you just have to get shit done. If I got them in tonight it's not likely I will get to really use them for the next 2 weeks anyways.

 

Lol I know what you mean. Hmm I wonder if a tundra motor would fit in a reg cab.......

 

That 5.7iForce would haul ass in a taco!

 

Anything would be better then a 2.7L haha. It's cool in some situations but I think overall a bigger engine would be a lot better and nicer

 

Truck turned 10k yesterday.

 

I have about 25k on mine right now. Time for an oil change as well. I picked up one of those selectable valves things to make it a cleaner/easier change in the future.

 

You musta been driving more than usual Kase, didn't you just hit 50k recently?

I've been hoping to put money into motorcycle tires and insurance to slow down how fast the miles rack up on the truck... Too bad tacomas are so damn fun

 

25k?!?!


Shit you guys are making my truck feel like a geezer, 75k and going up 500 a week

 

I only drive to go to the store a mile away, a doctors appointment every 3 months (45 minute drive), or to go fishing/hiking/wheeling. I normally only put around 10k on the truck a year but sometimes I travel a bit farther and can get 15k. Might as well call it a trail rig . I told myself I would do an engine swap at 100k but that could be 6-10 years from now.

 

Figure out what that greasy mess was yet?

 

Swap to what engine? Or just a refresh?

 

Refresh for more power . I am likely to put the SC on before next summer. Trying to price out a front and rear bumper for september...then splurge a bit with a loan and S/C. Call it good for a long while and plan out the future suspension. Ill probably do what Kase is doing and pick up a car for work after college. And when I say car I mean a reg cab tundy.

 

Damn dude, hope that works out for you. Sounds awesome! How much power does a supercharged 2.7 put out?

 

Just a hair more than the V6

 

Would certainly scoot!

 

Yeah, it would be just about right for me. This is all hopes and dreams though. I am trying to get front and rear HC/swing out for $1500...then I could save for half of the SC, cover half with a loan, and have it all paid off before the following xmas. Then Ill save my final year(s) of college for down payment/moving fees for my job.

The tundra would be perfect for my future life and what I plan to do for living and the taco would be my weekend get away rig.

 

Invisible derp?
