DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Public works utilities. Water sewer storm and paving

 

Considering putting an exhaust on my truck. Any one got anything they don't want?!?!?!

 

Looking at getting a pop/ lock set up for my tail gate since I never got a key. Anyone have a personal preference on them??? I can lock my retrax cover but that doesn't do much good if my tail gate can't lock......

 

I got a set of duel stacks off a kenworth truck.

 

Got some new 50" parallel clamps in today for the #manerboards

 

sounds like you just need to practice parking some more....

 

I put a few Amazon specials over the front two tires which were nice before tons of driving miles boogered up the lenses. I should I have put tape over them or something when not on the trails. They're easy to swap out though and I think were 20 bucks apiece.

 

I used the factory kit it was a piece of cake to install & works perfect

 

Sure thing. I'll get right on that.

 

I used the DIY approach. I think it was MESO's tutorial. Pretty easy and no problems since install.
Of course, I probably just needed to practice opening the tailgate more...

 

Just finished a presentation on disaster response and prep for a bunch of doctors and healthcare agencies. Got to lead it off with this pic in the PPT.


One of the guys in my agency made the comment that I could include a pic of the truck in the presentation thinking I wouldn't do it.

 

No tailgate pic, no care.

 

Amended for @StockerWithALocker

 

I'm officially out of the Toyota game. I traded in my truck for a Jeep JL. I needed something I can flat tow behind my RV. When we moved here my wife and I bought an RV instead of a house. Now I am considered a fulltime RV'er. The truck either with a dolly or trying to get drive shaft disconnects and what not would have been a hassle in my mind.

 

Don't the Jeep and the Tacoma both have to be configured similar for flat towing each time?

 

You can shift the manual transfer case on the Jeep to neutral, very few Tacomas have that feature

 

Jeeps have a manual t-case that has a neutral option.

 

Whoa, totally missed that we don't have Neutral. Makes way more sense now.

 

What the others have stated is true. Manual transfer case makes it easier. All the research I found basically said no go for flat tow for the Tacoma. The list of vehicles being able to be flat towed is getting smaller and smaller. Some electronic transfer cases can be flat towed. There is a process of telling the computer that the vehicle is being flat towed to prevent damage.
