@-dustin Would love to see ya this Sunday at C&C man!

 

I'm just trying to figure out how our trucks tow, going to be towing some toys back and forth between college station, and atx for the next few years, any advice? (the only thing I've ever towed w/ my truck is a 26' wake boat)

 

Kick them out early or bring them with you.

 

Here is everything you need: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-tacoma-towing-bible.4031/

 

Anything heavy, put the auto trans in 4 instead of D, it will pull fine and the trans will stay cool.

 

These are both good options! Lets see what she says...

 

is that to like take it out of overdrive?

 

That's exactly what that does, yep.

 

Had a random encounter with a dude in Army gear today at Bill Miller. He pulls up next to me in a newer looking Suburban or Tahoe and gestures to roll my window down. He says he used to have a Tacoma with a shell and full roof racks. It was totaled and he parted it out, but he still has a bedslide that he'd sell me for cheap.

Anybody have any experience with a bedslide? What are everyone's thoughts on them? Wasn't in the market for one, but since adding the softopper, it looks like it could come in handy.

 

Cool!!!

Never seen one in person but theres some guys on here running them

I think, since you have the shell...It would be a great addition!

I have used one in a rescue truck before, sure made it nice being able to reach everything by just pulling it out.
I say go for it if you think you may use it, if not I'm sure someone on here would take it off your hands.

Someone like me possible.

 

Thanks, fellas. I'd be interested in looking at it. My scam alerts were going off initially. Almost seemed like the dudes trying to sell you a stereo system out of the back of their car. But dunno why a dude in a newer Suburban would need to sell a stolen product for $250.

 

250 for a bed slide??? WOWOWOW. Just buy it. Thats like 75% cheaper than ive seen

 

Prinsu rack for 530 on the marketplace... dude is in houston. I would be ALL OVER this had I not ordered one about 2 weeks go.

 

could you reserve the third break light i beleive mine is fucked up and have been pulled over before forit

 

double cab?

 

What i pasted is all the current info... ill inquire

 

also does anybody know of a decent retro fit company that does tail lights?
