    Does anyone carry spare brake lines when wheeling? Im going to take advange of the brake lines for 100 and i was thinking about getting 3 rear brake lines and 1 front so i have a spare of each just in case. Does that sound good? Or should i just get 2 front and 2 rear and sell the fronts lol

    Never heard of that before, in all the years of wheeling and racing that one of the few things I've never broke or seen brake. But hell it's not a bad idea

    I've never had a problem with brake lines, they're tough, but it's always good to be prepared. I'd say carry a brake bolt if you do happen to lose one so you can just plug the line altogether.

    Trailer and Equal-i-zer are new. Takes a while to get the WD hitch dialed in and you have to do it loaded.
    I'd rather do it at home than on the side of the road halfway down the mountain and realize I left the 19mm socket on the top of my toolbox.



    Maybe a lil excited too
    :eek:

    I used to tow all the time with my 1st gen, they tow great. This trailer was all tongue wight and weighed more than the race truck but the tundra still charged up the cajon pass at 70

    Hell yeah! It's all I own.

    I've gotten as little as 6 with my old toy hauler. Thing was an absolute brick. This will have some marginal aerodynamics. But yeah, I'm expecting 8-10.

    They love being at 4000+ rpm!

    check my build
    lookin good:D:thumbsup: just to throw this out there, but i know with our old trailer we hauled our rail on, we had to keep the heavier end of the car(rear engine) near the tongue of the trailer, because with too much weight near the back it get sketchy and will cause the trailer to swerve around... just curious if u have had this problem:confused:

    Yeah you want ~60 of the weight forward of the axles. Two 400's and the truck engine are all in front of the axles. The quads in the bed of the taco are only a 50 and a 80.

    I'm also running an equal-i-zer weight distributing hitch. It's got a 4 way sway control system.
