    Judging by the tail lights being on the truck and mud on the back, the bed was not there when the wheeling started. Possibly, the "friend" was hired to put a flatbed/dog box on th truck and decided to take it for a spin?

    More like owner damaged the bed, removed bed because he was going to find a new one, found out what new one costs, shit his pants, drove it out into the sticks and left it for dead, claims buddy named Steve borrowed it, he only knows them by Steve, he was already behind in his payments because zero down means no clown because Robin Hood is paying 3% on the nonexistent money that they all claim they need to have "working" for them, wife is pissed because zero down means no nights out on the town

    Crawl Control don't do shit in mud on stock tires. Well, TBH, it makes a lot of clicking and thunking noises, the wheels rotate and the truck sinks deeper... but no progress.

    Ok, I guess it time to come clean. We at Toyota decided with all the third gen controversy , it's time to get back to our roots. So they put me in charge of building a new assembly plant in the tacos environment . To be honest, the plan, at best, was severely underfunded. Which of course, caused me to cut corners , at every turn. Since my ad in the local paper for five dollars an hour wasn't bringing in the quality of wrenches I'd hoped, I took a trip down south, where I ran into a big group of happy but funny talking people , where there was supposed to be a wall. My luck was starting to change, as these people were delighted to work for five bucks an hour. And , they had a big tent we could use as a factory, as the funds for that, were a little slow arriving from Japan. I could see things starting to turn around for me. Now with a small budget and a new labor force, I thought it would be best if we tore down and reassembled a used taco first, since things can get scratched and dented in the training process. Well we had that taco torn down and half way back together by lunch time, when I headed to Taco Bell to pick up lunch for the gang since they were trying really hard.
    The road to the plant site, we share with a local farmer. Unbeknownst to me, the farmer had hired the Ultimate Stand Irrigation company to do a little work on his water system.
    Now, from this point on, I can only guess what happened. But I'm pretty sure that when the new work force, along with the language barriers , saw US Irrigation on the side of their truck , they mistook it for US Immigration , and absconded with the tent and all the tools neatly packed into the bed we were going to put back on the truck after lunch.
    The picture at the beginning of this thread is the sight I saw as I stepped out my truck holding 63 grand tacos.
    I would appreciate you folks keeping this story on the down low, as I'm thinking my luck is about to take another turn and I should be brushing up my resume . Happy New Year

    Solid story. Would read again.

    But TBH Toyota is not going to be happy with the lack of Poka-Yokes on your process. A wireless PetSafe collar would have done wonders for your Workforce Retention.

    The police have put out an APB for 45 year old Steve Miller who the owner claims borrowed the truck.

    He likes to hang out at bowling alleys, listen to Supertramp, hit on women half his age, drives a 280ZX-T with t-tops and smokes Camels. His hobbies include talking about operating a CAT D3 and his bowling ball called the Hammer. If only his operator skills were as good as is bowling skills he would have moved on up to a D11T

    The car port at his place would only support building a D2 kill dozer
