What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Amazon delivered my bed mat and Tyger hitch step this weekend. Love them both.

 

Wouldn't the sand be most effective all the way against the tailgate? That would create the largest moment against the rear axle.

 

Yes it was. That’s why I posted it. just imagine how many holes were dug all across the country...

 

I thought it might cause fishtailing if I put them there and braked hard. But I could easily move it to there and try it out

 

Weight for traction is best applied ahead of the rear axle. Weight applied behind the rear axle takes weight off of the front wheels which lessens their traction.

 

This image from popular Science is a prime example why the earth is so F****D up. Lets just put everything in a hole and it will disappear...or better yet, dump it in the ocean, only the fish will notice.
I can only hope that Taco owners are more respectful to the earth than that image.

 

@Theclclass ... I’m confused, did you mean to type something here?

edit: Nevermind, I didn’t see what you wrote because you didn’t have it in bold

They are 16x8 -12

 

Fast forward 40+ years and we are energy independent. Coincidence?

 

Not what I did, but what I should have done! I should have driven my Tacoma to the deer lease instead of my new land barge. I wanted to take a trip in the new truck, arrived to a huge thunderstorm with hail and about 3” of rain. I’ll never get this thing as clean as it was Friday morning....

 

Yea, imagine all the hillbillies thinking they struck oil in their back yard.

 

I like that! And as my kids pointed out- a seat for ice cream- 6 year old tailgating at its finest!

 

Dumb question..why would that be a good to have?

 

Clever!

 

Lol! I'll bet that's against the law just about anywhere I'm the world.

 

Tried washing it and started raining... left the soap and just sprayed it off ruined my whole day OCD* lol

 

Built myself a bed slide/cooking table ain’t pretty but it functions

 

Some were good enough to position the oil pan drain plug over the hole (no need for a catch tub). Sure, it would contaminate ground water, but nobody knew that then.
Shoot, in South East Asia, you could hire a guy pushing a 55 gal drum (on a wheeled cart) to oil the dirt road in front of your hootch so as to keep the dust down. There were drums of water as well, but that didn't last as long as the oil would in that jungle heat.
So, someone worried about 6 qts of oil in a hole; will have a heart attack considering all of those 55 gals drums of it poured over many, many kilometers of dirt paths & roads! And done for decades.
So sad. If only we knew then what we know now...

 

Been there, at least it rained early and not after you washed it and dried it off real nice.

 

1963. Didn't Coca Cola contain cocaine and doctors endorse cigarette brands back then?

 

And back then they changed the oil every 2000 miles not twice or once a year.
