    I had the same setup on my trip to mammoth in the bed minus the Kayaks but I have an RTT...was at 500lbs+ easy. Water and gas cans when full add a lot of weight. That was when I learned I needed to beef up my leafs with AALs, I was nearly on my bump stops the whole time.

    A big give and take, just as anything in life.

    Hard to find a fun car that gets good gas mileage, that's dependable that's cheap. You can only pick 3 if not only 2

    Definitely, and sometimes add in things like firewood, chain saw and stuff like that. It adds up so quick lol

    I just took a look at your Supra build, that sounds like a totally fun DD - but I also can't imagine that gets good gas mileage either.

    Better than the truck. So far the worst I've gotten is 22 mpg city and I was driving like an ass every other day haha. Only thing is it isn't a cheap car to fix usually. But haven't had the issues yet. It's pretty fun, decent MPG and so far it's reliable :notsure:

    Thanks for the offer, but buckmaster243 beat you to it. If I would have known there would be this many people with spare clocks lying around I would have asked a long time ago. Mine quite working over 10 years ago. Have just been using a stick on clock since then.

    2015 Golf TDi. 80+ mile round trip commute everyday is a lot nicer when you're getting over 40mpg compared to 17 lol

    Jobs are a dime a dozen. I bet if you would have looked you could have found one a lot closer to home, and then been able to keep your Taco.

    so ... b4 I attempt this again... will the rear cross support come out by rotating it or just not enough clearance? It’s got 1/2” on each side towards the frame rails. I’m a bit OCD. :D Grinding/wire wheel day on the frame.

    jobs are, careers aren't

    Bed is rusted out, frame is close, something up front pops every time I turn slowly, both CV boots have been torn for awhile, valve cover gasket leaking, ac broken... I could either put thousands into it and get it back to decent condition, or put that money towards something new.

    Naa, you're just being picky. I bet you are qualified for all kinds of other jobs.

    The only thing you listed that's really a problem is a rusted frame. If the frame is toast, then you have a problem. But a Golf! :annoyed:
