Texas Tacoma Stalkers!

He just wanted to talk to you about his Overland rig bro.

 

To really honor @Burica, you should pass him on a gravel road and laugh maniacally as you spray him with rocks.

 

Ah, so just general shit posting

 

It probably was @Burica then he saw the TW sticker and backed off in shame.

 

The one time this month I go to Walmart, I see a cool broverland rig and can’t even tell @Burica about it.

Walmart in Spring at 2920 and Kuykendahl.

 

Schwing!!!!!

ugh... back when Toyota used to build cool cars, and didn't focus on volume sales and aging tech...

or have subaru and bmw build their "cool" cars....

 

At the new Camping World in Spring grand opening. Riding with the wife in her truck so mine was at home.

 

Looking for opinions on towing. I don’t have a brake controller installed but just ordered one on Amazon. I have to rent a mini excavator to dig up my yard and re-plumb my entire house (plumbers wanted $20k). My question is, they have two options available, a 1 ton machine that with trailer weighs 3,500lbs, or a 1.5-2 ton machine that with trailer weighs 6,830 lbs. I know our Max trailer capacity is around 6,800, however I also have 34” tires and have not regeared so I’ve obviously lost some power/torque. I would rather get the larger machine if possible, and I think it could tow it (might take a minute to get up to speed) but wouldn’t mind getting some input.

I will add that I have towed around 4,000-5,000 lbs before, but that was with 33’s, not 34’s. I’m not trailer expert, so I don’t know what a difference of that amount of weight equates to in the trucks performance (or lack there of).

 

6400 for a double cab 4x4

Rent a truck and get the bigger machine.

 

Mines a double cab, but 4x2.

 

like @Rock Lobster said, rent a truck and get the bigger machine. You could rent a truck from Home Depot or Uhaul for the day.

 

My mistake. 6700 pounds for a dc 2wd

 

I would agree as well, however I am currently unemployed, so I’m attempting to do it as cheaply as possible. Our soil here isn’t hard to dig, merely too much to do by shovel.

My dads friend has a 3/4 ton dodge that I hope will be towing the machine. Mine I hope is a backup. I appreciate everyone’s input for sure, definitely things to consider.

 

My wife took the pic while I was driving her truck pulling our camper to Camping World to trade it in.

lifted, wheels, tires and “viper cut”.

 

What exactly is a “viper cut”?

 

Cutting the bumper along the bends to “offer clearance” that actually has no real benefit. A trend someone started a few years ago. It makes your truck look extra stupid, too

 

I saw a thread on here once, had the worst bumper cut I’ve ever seen. How the dude wasn’t ashamed, much less made a “tutorial” on how to do it is beyond me.

 

@Burica would be proud, I talked to him at the stoplight. $1700 for this model over full tube for $2200, rugged pods.
