Snow Plow

blue168 · 07-27-2008, 02:31 PM

I had a 99 4X4 Tacoma 4cyl I plowed my driveway with for seven years. Never had a problem. The plow is a 2001 6'9" Fisher Minute Mount. It is a very heavy plow for this truck. Toyota repurchased the truck due to frame rot. I bought a 06 Access cab Automatic and Fisher does not make a chassis assembly for this truck so I can use my old plow. Fisher said I need to buy the Homesteader. Anybody use a Homesteader, any problems? Anybody have this problem? What should I do, see if someone can fabricate a chassis assembly? Sell the plow and buy the new one? Any ideas?

I have a friend who plows and his 99 shit the bed b/c of frame rot, so he went to buy a 06 and said the frame was just not good for plows so he bought a tundra instead, and as I realized this past winter, I saw no 2nd gens with plows on them, maybe there is something to that.

I have a ACI plow on my Taco. www.agricover.com. The 4.0L does not have enough power.
An S/C will fix that.
