The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Because the taco may need to pull a pop up camper soon too.... I need the power back

 

Gotta make money somehow. I really am gonna try t sell her too once I get her back to stock. I need a full size for my career. I can only put it off for so long.

 

Yes, once the brackets are off just lift it up! It will separate pretty easy!

 

this is my welders truck. So. Much. Want.

 

That's the first good picture I have seen you take. Imagine how gay it would be with 33's.

 

Lol imagine how nice its gonna be to have a solid axle.

 

In a 3500? Or are you sas'ing your Tacoma.

 

I'm gonna SAS it more than likely. Selling the mid travel front end to a buddy sometime in the next couple weeks and getting his OME lift. This is also why I'm going back to 33"s and stock bedsides and fenders. I actually like the stock body a lot so I'm just gonna bump the axle before the tires would rub.

 

Should look pretty sweet, what size tires you planningon running after the swap.

 

You can get 7 something ratio ring and opinions for Dana 60s, your 2.7 would pull 44s pretty good with that.

 

Lol 44"s.... Nah I'll be sticking to 35"-37" tire range.

 

What axles do you plan on using Dana 60s?

 

Depends on finances. Might go straight to one tons or might get a Dana 44 first. Just depends.

 

Sounds like you are rushing into this. Gonna suck when you do it once, aren't happy with it, and then spend more money to do it right.

 

this is the guy Ima get help and advice from when I need it. I love the stock fenders and solid axle combination. Super clean.

 

I saw a double cab sas'ed and for sale a few years ago. Only had 25k miles and was like 24 k. Came with a set of 38s and a set of 40s. Most stock double cabs cost more than that with that mileage. Also it didn't look best up or ragged out.

 

That's the smart move but I wouldn't do it. I learn a lot when I do things myself and it gives me the knowledge to work on it when it breaks down. If I bought one already done up, I wouldn't have a clue about the amount of work it took or how each piece fits in. When something went wrong I would likely have to let a shop help me out...$$$$

Plus, the fun is in the build. Offroading is a just a bonus.

 

What kind of MPG's do y'all get doing 75-80mph highway?
