What's the craziest/most interesting/unique item you've ever hauled or towed with your Taco?

10k oil baths, ive done windy roads in Tennessee with it but 550 with zero brakes was nerve racking.

I have horrible luck with tires too, we blew 6 to and from Tennessee.

6 to and from colorado. We leave floor jack and impact on the trailer and can manage it in under 5 min easy.

Took it to Wyoming to get this flatbed and not 1 flat.

 

I would like to order a PJ 40 ft with 17.5s but they have sky rocketed in price, possibly a load trail. Big Tex scares me.

Those 901s are very good tires, ride so smooth. Have them on a dump trailer I temporarily have.

 

Ive been by most their plants, they are pretty close. PJ, load Trail, and Diamond C definitely had the nicest and most organized facility hands down. Lamar looked like a warzone. What state are you in?

 

The head gasket was the root of the whole issue. The head gasket started to fail, but was not actually blown, in 2021; I have no idea how or when it happened, but I thought that it was simply the truck "using oil" due to old age. I switched to 10W30 to compensate, and this totally nuked my gas mileage. Now that I'm running 0W20, my gas mileage is back within factory specs!

 

That is a fine trailer! Did you custom fab those removable side walls or did the trailer come with those? I'm doing some work on my 81 GMC Sierra 3500 dually and would like to get a fifth wheel eventually.

Emily found a free couch on Facebook marketplace, and Amanda and I drove up to Quakertown to pick it up...

I'm not sure if this fits into the craziest, most interesting, or unique category... but it is the sexiest thing I have towed: 72 Nova with a built 427 and 4 speed auto. Thing is nuts but we're not getting oil to the upper parts (making between 6 and 15 pounds of oil pressure) so the motor needs to come out and I'll be checking for a blown galley plug.

Thankfully no metal in the oil and everything else seems healthy. Will see once the motor is apart. Anyway... the sexiest, fastest, and heaviest thing I have ever towed with my Taco to date. Only across town though so I'm not sure if < 10 miles counts. Heavy Dakars just soaked up the bumps.

Nice lookin '72!
Man, I hope you find that issue without major headaches.

 

I dig your profile pic.

 

Not a Tacoma, but I use to tow a 34.6' nuclear ballistic missile....
