    I can give it a shot but I make no promises . Unfortunately MS and Apple bought out ran out of business most of the other reliable mp3 player manufacturers. I had one from one of the first manufacturers Rio Carbon and loved it you could use any file management to manipulate files slowly but surely MS and Apple killed most of the players:{

    Evening kids, looks like everyone had a decent day. Worked today,so not much fun was had. I did go to the Toyota dealership and looked at 4 Runners. I like to look on Sunday, no salesman. The wife and I are thinking of selling the Tacoma and buying aT4R. She would drive the T4R and I would drive her Ford Focus. I have a long commute and she has a short one. Save some money on gas,less mileage on the more expensive vehicle. We want to get some sort of camper and my 2.7L Tacoma won’t like to pull it. Plus the T4R is auto and the Taco is 5spd,she has a bum knee and doesn’t like the the clutch. Really liking the T4R, but I have never owned a car, so that would take some getting use to. The camper I would get will be a cargo trailer, converted into a camper. I want to be able to haul stuff, “Home Depot” and use it as a camper. I have seen some cool duel purpose cargo trailers. What do you all think?

    Bleu Cheese is not against the tide, it is THE tide! Bleu Cheese and celery is how it was originally served for more than a decade. Not sure how the Ranch and carrot sticks ever made it through the door.

    Made Buffalo wings last night for the boys and I on the kettle grill.

    Cooking and smoking with apple wood half way though

    Sauced and tossed then back on for 10 min.

    Pulled and tossed in sauce again.
    Yes, of course that is bleu cheese dressing. Didn't have any celery in the house

    And both my sons had Ranch dressing :crazy:

    St. Louis ribs been on 3 hours have at least another 3 hours to go yet. Supper will not be until about 8 again tonight. Damn sleet and rain earlier today didn't help me get these going any earlier.

    I like the toy hauler trailers. May still have to do it. Idk what the future holds.
    My 400$ tractor supply trailer is holding up for hauling. I have some plans for a teardrop that I convert it if I’d like. If the 400$ trailer helps us move out then takes a crap I’m good with that also. I’ll just put a new axle under it.

    They have teardrop style inserts for utility trailers. Work the trailer during the week and slide it on for the weekend.

    Watching this one closely... I really like the 4 Runners but not sure how much engine they have for pulling. Funny this morning when Martin said toy hauler I was wondering if a 4 Runner would pull one. Other than those pop ones anyhow. I would still keep my truck though in my case.

    I know several people that have converted V nose trailers into trailers for camping while hunting and done it pretty cheaply. If you go all out with them they no longer make a trailer you want to use for hauling, you can spend a lot of money doing it. But you don't have to go all out either.

    I think overall the conversion comes in heavier doing this.

    The T4R has a 4.0L , should pull a single axle 12’ V nose.

    Seen that too thanks. Cheapo Black Friday trailer is holding up so far.
    Got a box built on it now for moving with removable roof for taller items.

    I've been seeing a lot more smaller trailers this year. I'm thinking it may be a bit of a fad so there may be a crop of used trailers coming on the market in the next year or so. But I also see a few 14' low top toy haulers. These are primarily single guys with their dual sport/harley/4wheeler. Though there were a few couples that had the bike/quad as well as kayaks. I see quite a few 1st and 2nd gen Tacomas and they aren't having any problems getting around.
