Tacomas doing work

dclb .....1 yd+ wet mulch

 

I had the same amount in a short bed yesterday. Wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be.

 

Had to clean up the back yard a little bit.

 

no squatting at all!

 

A friend of mine helping me with a couple fence projects. This was the last of multiple trips today. I also had a trailer load of 4x4 post earlier as well.

 

Carbon fiber mast?

 

First time towing anything, ever. Truck really could use that regear..

 

And here I thought it was a myth this pig of a truck could pull a trailer! You learn something new every day

 

Nope

 

A little fun on a Saturday with the kids

 

That's a heavy load. How did it ride with a ton in the back?

 

It rode pretty decent honestly. You could tell the front end felt a little light though.

 

Awesome to see one of those still running!

 

Moving

 

as expected, but still pretty good.

I use to have a Peugeot 504 diesel wagon, and one day filled the back with just over 500 bricks which didn't seem like that much at the time, but I put it all over the rear wheels. Needless to say, I could not turn under acceleration, I had to hit the brakes to even attempt a turn and it was at 2 mph.

 

it’s a constant battle to keep it going. It’s lead a rough life but still runs. Burns some oil. Smokes a little. Plus the gas these days eats up carbs. But everyone loves to ride it. Hard to believe it was designed for kids.

 

For a fairly small amount of money you could buy an aftermarket engine for it, could even increase the displacement at the same time. I had a 1999 XR70R when I was around fifteen, ended up replacing the engine with a 140cc and it was a little rocket.

 

Picked up the kart for $250 today. Needs some work but for $250 who cares?
