The Lair

Still won’t hear @ShawnMac757 .. radio silence

 

Scored a free toolbox from a friend today that I'll be putting on the nose of the trailer. Needs new struts, keys, weatherstripping, half of the hinge riveted back on, and a good cleaning but she's good as new now and I'm only into it $50.

 

Just did the same thing for the toolbox in the pick-up I inherited. If you need links and whatever let me know. I did new latches, struts, weatherstripping, and link rod.

 

I already bought everything but thanks. The latches and rod are smooth enough which is nice.

 

Well fine then! I was missing a key. And then the other one self-destructed a few months later.

 

The keys were surprisingly easy to order. I just punched the code into google and a slew of sites came up to buy a replacement. $11 shipped for a pair of them isn't too bad.

 

Beats the $30 I paid for a new latch. It was probably better for me to replace the whole thing. Twenty years of gunk and things weren't moving so good.

 

I want to be reincarnated as that Kawi

Im sure there is a joke or two in there.

 

Question for the Boss man….

What trailer brake controller did you go with in the tundy? I only step in here every now and then and missed it. Thinking of the Redarc for the taco, but have no issue going teknoshiofjgngudnssnennfj-in-in.

 

I’m fortunate enough that the tundra has an integrated controller! I’ve heard good things about redarc though.

 

Dang! guess I'm the dummy now. didn't even think of that.

I use a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 in my Taco and Tahoe. Works good.

$178 Tekonsha 90195 P3 Electronic Brake Control , silver, Single

Rite rite. Have used it before on my tahoe as well. Will most likely go that route again if I decide to add one to the tacoma.

Thanks you, good Sir.

 

Thank you for your kind words, they are flattering. I don’t currently have a brake controller but maybe the #3 guy in this thread @EatSleepTacos can answer your question.

 

2 people inside riding him hard?

 

Thank yooouu, Sir.

He answered out of order (chain of Command). I greatly appreciate your response. Was looking for the answer from the Top, not the bottom.

 

Welding a diff diaper on @ShawnMac757 tonight.
