    Looks awesome! Pretty sure I will start doing that sometime soon.

    Hope things turn out well for you Kevin, and that you can calm down and relax!!

    Supposed to get up to 55* here today. Got some things done this morning and getting ready to head over to the river and check on the Eagle migration. Heard a Robin this morning, spring really is trying. Windy so cool but not cold.

    Ok my diversified group of friends. I have to make a 7 hour trip this week to my FIL house to clean it out because it's being sold. I'm taking the truck to bring some stuff back (not that I really want it) I'm trying to decide between only bringing back what the truck will carry or renting a small U-haul trailer. Will my little 2.7 with the automatic pull the little trailer home with no problem? I can't help but imagine a small U-haul with some furniture and an aircompressor in it wouldn't be much lighter than the steel trailer I pull with a 650 pound 4wlr on it. 7 hours and about 1/3 is mtns. What are your thoughts?

    Back when I had my '84 Toyota, I pulled a '49 Mercury 4-door (a flippin' TANK!) behind it (with a tow bar) from North Carolina to Central Indiana. We're talking a 22R (Not even a 22RE) It was a manual tranny, but none the less, I made it home. Wouldn't do it on a weekly basis, but a one time deal....It wasn't the worst thing I ever did. Just go slower that usual, take your time, and realize it's as much a problem towing DOWN hills with a light truck as it is towing UP hills.

    Thanks Bill I would think it would be no problem then I was just a little concerned with the automatic. I don't have a tow package or anything but I really can't imagine a little 5x8 uhaul with some furniture can be all that heavy to pull

    Good Afternoon Peeps! Looking for A Pro Tip on a good Spark Plug Gap for the 1GR-FE V6. The book calls for 0.043in. I've read that most peeps go with 0.040. Any opinions are welcome! :)

    Thank you Sir. :hattip: I'm searching the Web for this type of gauge that comes with 043. Setting. No Dice. I like using these over the round disc type. Might need to flag down a snap-on Truck Lol!

    I'm in no place to give advice right now but all I know is that I had a full pallet of carpet grass in my old 97 4 banger clutch and hauled it home no problems. The suspension was about wasted afterwards o_O
