TYetti's 2.7L Rebuild/FULL SEND/EAF build

Truck looks awesome man!

 

Thanks it's getting there.. honestly never thought I'd get my truck to this level. When I first got it I'd just drool over builds like north, babytaco, I loved box rockets 1st gen, nates build was another sick one not to mention the guys local to me like vancity4x. Now I'm here I've got it looking the way I've Always wanted. This build is far from over but it's at a point where I could just use it and be happy

 

Is it a good stiff or a bad stiff. Been contemplating going to the 700# springs but can't decide on them or longer 650# springs. With the 4 banger and synthetic winch line I'm definitely lighter up front than some trucks

 

I agree some of those build are awesome! Vancity is far away with is sas lol! But yours is one of my favorite! Been subscribed to your thread since I am on tw I think lol Like you said, I think you should just enjoy it now, because modding is like an infinite wheel and you will never be done haha keep that 2.7 running!

I don't know if i'll ever get my truck the half of your level haha I love looking at those rigs but the use for me is not there... maybe if I can keep it as a project truck while having another dd for the job and futur family lol

 

How long did you ride 35s on your stock gears? Bearable?

 

It's not a bad stiff with the tires down at 15 psi and mobing the river rock today it wasn't bone jarring but I did come from the road race world before so I was used to super stiff suspension. I've still got steel cable on my winch so I felt the need for the extra weight. The springs are also still breaking in I've been beating on them to help that lol

Thanks man. You know I never thought I'd have one of those builds either but it's just gone that way. I couldn't have done it without he support of my loving gf who fully feeds my addiction. She'd also murder me if I got rid of the truck... I'll run it till the wheels fall off and then rebuild it.

I went a week with 35s on stock gears. It wasnt horrible sucked fuel like it was going out of style but you just ride the clutch more. It would suck to wheel like that though especially with open diffs.

 

Aww man your taco must have gotten close to that, wait that was mpg not gpm?
Still pretty amazed our trucks started similar.
Still pleased with your 2.7?
I still stop in just don't log in a lot.
looks bad ass bud!

 

Oh ya bud I still love it. Not gonna stop anytime soon got a few bigger trips ahead. I think I'm down to like 20 mpg with the winch on dam thing is heavy as hell.

 

This year's overland trip is planned and ready to rock leaving sat June 24-Sunday July 2 possibly Monday July 3rd. This trip has been dubbed The Island Grand Tour. It is a full loop of vancouver island





We may leave Friday after work as well depending on timing but I'm gonna play it by ear there are several heavy travel days and lots of dirt road can't wait to check out an area I've had little chance to explore

 

That trips look like its going to be awesome! It was also nice meet you in person and see your truck today.

 

Ya it's gonna be a gooder... ya man I met a couple of the guys way back through here and got hooked up with the bctoyota4wd that way....

 

Thanks again for the info you gave me on the airflow snorkel and the shackle flip yesterday.

 

My prinsu rack should be here on Tuesday but it's unlikely I'll be able to pick it up with my work schedule until next Saturday I'm dying inside

 

Looks like fun! May try to catch up with you guys at some point along the way when your doing the southern loop

 

Can't have someone to pick it up for you? Or early at the opening of the post office?

 

Lol your truck is getting there.
DAMMM.

 

We are starting on the southern section aiming for tofino day 1 or 2 but I'm sure we can work something out

It's at my American mail box so I gotta cross the boarder and pay taxes on the way back it creates too many issues having other people do it.

Daaymmm lol

 

Hoo I see I see! Well that's sad thet you'll only have it next weekend when you know it is so close...

 

Ya very close. I've also been looking at dual battery setups since I plan to add some lighting solutions as well. Piecing together a battery isolator kit so far has me over 700$ pre made kits are well under that. I dunno need to do some more searching around

 

I can speak for Off Grid Engineering's dual battery kit. I have their dual battery tray as well and it's snug but it fits in our engine compartment (I have a 2.7 as well). Extremely high quality kit
