The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

More pics please-truck looks awesome!

 

What brand of sliders are those?

 

just picked this up a couple weeks ago! my first tacoma and im lovin it

 

I know this is SUPER late, but i went to TDS this early March in my Prerunner. and no i couldn't go everywhere but i went and had a blast haulin ass on some dirt roads and climbed very beginner stuff. i got stuck once but didnt need to be winched out just air down the tires more and dug a lil. wish i was there longer.
Went with my buddy Ted and his 93 Dodge Cummins

posin on a hill

epic desert sunset

heres me and my love

i thought this was a great shot

and heres me stuck on a triangle hill high centered. no damage


heres me unstuck!

way out in the canyon areas

Man it was such a great time gettin my truck dirty! i couldnt do much out there but you could go for hours if not days wheelin out there. and depending where you go and how smart you are about it you dont entirely need 4x4. But i so wish it was

 

yup!
i went to the dealer without seeing any pics just knew they had a 4x4 reg cab auto. when they pulled up with this i was stoked!
i saw the wheels and i was sold

 

LOL!!!!!!!!

My dad did the same thing back in '74 with our new '74 K5 Blazer on a TDS run!

Lemme guess... that hill was marked as the "green" trail and the "red" trail went around?

Lucky for dad, he had installed skidplates so no damage.
But three guys tried helping us off... first one broke dad's rope and his own strap. Second guy broke his own strap.
Finally a Baja Bug managed to pull us free.
Dad paid for the broken straps, and bought a new one for the guy with the bug.

 

all around this place was marked for beginners but this mini hill didnt look too menacing when i saw it from the trail just a little taller than the other ones.
thats a funny story about you and your dad, we saw people drive by but not close enough to ak them for help. there was about 5 minutes of me panicking when i first realized i got stuck. but i wasnt too far away from camp

 

We were unavoidable.

It was a hill just like that (green arrow), and the red arrow pointed to the right. That path was literally just a 100ft diversion around the little hill.
So we were blocking the "green" trail, and everyone approaching the split could see us standing there, and everyone departing could see us in their mirror.

We had a feeling that someone swapped the arrows. It wasn't far from the start of the run so it was still more like a parade than anything else.
Help was quick and volunteered... we didn't have to wave anybody down.
That's why dad felt so bad about the broken straps... but in '74, we didn't have kevlar or some of the other materials available.
We had a yellow nylon rope that looked like it belonged on a boat.
The others were more like seatbelt material but thicker.

So that "stuck" cost him 4 straps since he has to replace ours as well.
He got the guys' names and addresses and UPS'd them the replacements next time we went to Cepek's old Southgate shop.

 

I dig that too. Wheels look really good on there.

 

Thanks a lot! you're absolutely right on how capable it is, i surprised myself out there on a few times! not much else i'm gonna do on modding besides getting rid of my rugged trails when they wear out

 

Finally got the wheels and tires on, I'll get better pictures soon

 

I did too for a little while, but I'm glad its more off roadish hahah

if any of you have facebook,, mines the one leading off the video

 

HOLY CRAP your Yota is sooo awesome! i kept replaying it just to see your truck haul ass through there! one day...

 

thanks man haha, i do the same as well! its the only video of the outside of my truck going through whoops. cab cage is next on the list!

 

yep!! both those truck along with a duramax being built right now is what i have to keep up with

 

ive already looked into that, a 4.0 swap will be cheaper

 

5.3L LSX T56 FTW

 

Im in the same boat with mine. 5k for a well built s/c kit or 3k at max for a long block, trans, harness, ecu, walborro, and a flash on the cluster. Just need a house with a garage to get the project started.
