The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Massachusetts?

 

In the process of transferring to CA title. It was never there, previous owner is active duty on base so he had to register it in his home state. It moved from Las Vegas to San Diego.

 

Saw your truck pop up on my instagram feed.

 

3rd gen free thread FTW.........

 

Hey folks, i have a fairly new to me 09 2.7l single cab. I was hoping someone here could help me figure out what i have on my truck as far as a lift goes. I think it is lifted already measurements to the fenders are in between 37 and 38 inches with
the back being a little bit higher. I am not very good at this stuff and any help would be greatly appreciated.

If i need to take any additional pictures let me know.

Thanks!

Mat

 

It looks to me like you have a 2" spacer for your front lift usually called a "leveling kit". It does not appear to me that you have any sort of rear lift.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. so in the rear there is the 2 full sized leafs, the overload, and then one smaller leaf in the middle and that is stock?

 

2014 reg cab ute it's not really hooked to rock trailer, just parked it there to take a picture

 

We need more of your truck in this thread.

 

Lol ok. I used to post on here but got fed up with the Internet and took a break. I am gonna get a snorkel for it, probably the safari kit that's been modified for a second gen, I have a 10k mile marker hydraulic winch for the back under the bed, and a warn m8000 for the front arb when I buy it. It has Ironman suspension coilovers up front, + 4 inch skyjacker shocks in back with 5 leaf packs I built out of a set of 3/4 ton chevy springs. Cruise control and mirror temp/compass has been ordered, and I'm going to install an original radio with nav whenever I find a good deal on one. Oh and I ordered 24 new lug nuts, I'm sure some of yall noticed I'm missing some. Gonna order a set of 33 inch tractor tires for the other rims for in the winter when my phone rings off the hook from people that are stuck....

 

Why not an airflow?

 

Tbh....I hate the way they look. I'm sorry but a snorkel is something funtional...I mean you have to drill a hole in your fender. The airflow looks all curvy and rounded like they tried to make it fit in at the mall. The safari has defined lines, a squarish head, flat surfaces. My flatbed has all those qualities, and so will the arb bumper. No offence to you or your truck though.

 

No offence taken! That's actually the picture from Airflow's website hahaha (not my truck). I just figured I would throw another option out there for you.
Good luck with the snorkel, be sure to post pics of it when you're done! Love the look of your truck btw!

 

I know people seem to like them on here, based on the group buys... But maybe it's better you steer clear of the airflow...http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/128682-Airflow-snorkel-for-05-Tacoma

 

Wow. Definitely going safari now... I modified the stock intake a lot though when I first got the truck. I deleted the factory resonator chambers, the one in the fender and the one on top of the engine. Then I took out the fender to airbox connecetor, put in a 3 inch to 2 inch reducer, then with a 2 inch 90 elbow ran the intake pipe all the way back and up to just under the antenna mount. I have been through hood deep more than once, (mind you it was a bow wave) but it still came well up on the winshield wipers. Never skipped a beat. And I know it was deep in the engine bay as the power steering had water in it the next day.

 

get a lot of snow in texas?

 

My 09 with Fox 2.0's and a progressive AAL. Cleans up nice with the 4 runner wheels. Not such a base, base model anymore.

 

base models don't has color matched flares/mirrors/front bumper.............

 

I don't think they are matched...

 

Neither does mine. All faded to a perfect hue of Magnetic Gray.
