Tacomas doing work

do something nice for your mother

 

Needed to haul my skid around a job site, it’s usually on my f350 but fit pretty well in the Tacoma.

 

Making a dump run for my father-in-law!

 

Delivering 1,500lbs of rock for a buddy who wants to zeroscape.

 

How did it drive/handle? When I put 1k lbs in the bed things are very solid. (I am stock).

 

It’s fine but it’s at the limit of what feels appropriate. I’m stock too. I just take it easy over bumps and brake even earlier so there’s no surprises with the stopping power.

 

Grabbed a yard of cedar mulch.

 

Not doing work…but at the work site?

 

Picked up a used 48" lawn roller.

 

Had a large branch come down due to some straight line winds. Sawed it and hauled it about 50 yards to the debris pile in the woods today. Temps were only in mid 90s but the humidity was about 200%!

Tomorrow she gets loaded up for a few days at the lake.

 

She put in work hauling about five full trailer loads moving from our rental to our first home! She has been rewarded with a garage space, finally!

 

A yard of black humus compost for my son's back yard. He had another yard in his truck. Sure spread easier even when damp than the 12 yards of damp sand we put down first.

 

Helped my brother take down part of a neighbor's tree that was struck by lightning and took out his fence. Got a nice haul of firewood out of the afternoon's work.

 

@Foushee Are those tie downs hooked to a carabiner? or how do you have them connected like that? Never thought of strapping something like that and really like it!

 

It's a Perfect Bungee product called the Flexweb:

This looks so useful.

 

Nothing big but picked up a used 8' 7" slide. Wife wants me to build a swingset playhouse. It never ends.

 

I use it constantly. Just this last weekend I used it to hold down 6 interior folding doors for a friend working on a remodel (no pics because it was too darn hot). And because the UpTop Overland rack I have has slots made that fit these bungee cords perfectly it's perfect for helping to store gear and boxes.
