The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

hey everyone, so yesterday my lower balljoint broke ripped off a bunch of shit on the front end the damage is about 3,300 to fix it all, SOOO i am looking for a single cab tacoma 4X4 1st gen if anyone comes around one let me know i don't care if its in another state ill get it shipped down here, till then I'm truckless, heartbroken, depressed and my only transportation is my quad

 

I'll end up going with whatever I can get a good deal on. I can deal with the power loss.. don't really care that much. I'm just enjoying having the ideal gear ratio while I still have it haha

 

i need help with one of my multiple 2.7l.... i was replacing the valve cover gasket and looked down into the engine and saw a black piece of plastic on the passenger side of the timing chain, it looked outta place so i pulled it out and it came out really easy. not sure where it goes and would like some help to find out if its important and if i need to put it back or if anyone else has come across this at all? HEEEEELP

 

Gears go in tomorrow!

 

^Prob should post pics of said plastic piece...

 

Damn I bet you feel like a little kid on christmas eve again haha

 

I think he ordered it at the same time so I'd imagine so... I'll be so jealous. Locker is next on my purchase list.

 

And about this reg cab meet, is there any good wheeling in Missouri? Looks about as central as you can get, any suggestions?

 

Damn your from ny and willing to drive to Missouri for a meet

 

I mean not out of the blue, but for a well organized meet up hell yeah!


I guess that isn't so close for our resident Cali member sorry Gelo, you have any recommendations?

 

You could call it the reg cab cheap bastard meet

 

In that case Gelo has no excuse not to show, he's clearly not a cheap bastard

 

He does have a pretty gangster truck with lt and all, alot of the regulars in here have nice trucks too always talking about lockers gears and 35's.

I guess Im just the cheap bastard

 

Key word is talking

 

Hey I use to talk a lot and look what happened! The more you think about it the more you're gonna want it.

 

Haha, the stick found it's mark!


And oh, I know you're 100% right... I know where all my paychecks end up

 

I say you all come meet up me in Alaska there's lots of trails and fishing

 

Lol, in another life man. I want to make it up there sometime... Really want to do it on the bike though

 

My 2.7

 

Im more like the Poor Bastard ha ha.
