The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Anyone running bushwacker flares willing to post pics? Im picking mine up Fri.

 

Let me know how hard they are to install. I have been considering them.

 

Will do. Some drilling is required from what I saw.

 

I think it's only on the sides of the front bumper. My son has them, but they were put on by the body shop that fixed his truck after an accident.

 

I believe @jeff b is running them

 

There's a couple guys that have been trying out the Chinese flairs with good results. They only run about $100.

@Chux build - Pre-color match and color matched

I see you've got 4.88s. You have an auto or manual? Curious about gears but been back n forth since most of my driving is 75-85mph (Texas)

 

Some new shoes for the whip.

 

Diggin the white. 35's?

 

37s

 

Dazzammmmm!! Rubbing some I assume?

 

They rub on the passenger UCA because i apparently have a bent spindle. They dont rub at all on the driver side. It does have the CMC and firewall BFH clearanced. Ill change the spindle out later this week and get an alignment to see how everything clears. If it does, ill cut out whatever is in the way.

 

I have an auto. The gears are the best thing I have done to my truck. I'm at about 2800rpms at 75mph.

 

Yea that's about what the gear calculator said when I did it. Would like some TruTrac. I pulled the trigger on a s/c finally so figure I'll see how she is after that

 

I have a TruTrac also.

 

Anyone else have the "grinding on deceleration" issue? After my lift, at above 50 mph I get a grindy noise when I get off the throttle and decelerate in gear. Ive read it is pretty common with the reg cabs specifically because we have a one piece driveshaft.

Crawled under and my slip joint boot was pulled off on one end. Not much grease left on it. I'm going to pull it this weekend and grease it up and see what that does. U joints are Spicer's with only 15k on them. They're tight and greased up.

Some guys flipped the driveshaft so the slip joint was at the back. I may try that as well but I don't like it being so exposed.

I hope I don't have to spend $$$ to get a CV shaft made.

 

I have the noise at stock height and I'm pretty sure its the slip joint. It has a small, but noticible amount of play. I've greased it before and it helps and fixes it temporarily, but it always comes back.

 

I got it real bad after lift. I flipped the driveshaft and worked unless I was over 50mph. It has since went away completely. Thinking about flipping the shaft back now to see. But yes flip the driveshaft

 

Just picked up a 2012 4x4 standard cab this past weekend. Came with a brand new set of Bridgestone 265/75/16s. Loving it so far. Anyone out west have a metallic grey camper shell for sale?
