    Here's the best of what I got in ME. Unfortunately, my camera wouldn't read the SD card I picked up so I was limited to what I could shoot with it and I tend to forget to grab my phone, plus some of the Kodak moments were so fascinating that I just got lost in them...
    My visit to the breeder in Winslow Friday:

    Cam,
    my main mistake was turing on the lockers, instead of sticking with 4 lo and letting the ATRAC work some, they aren't made to go over a certain speed and I think I stalled when I came over the first step and headed into the 2nd part. Going to rework my pedal set up to make it more secure on these inclines.

    :(my second one (OEM) lasted under 5k miles

    I bought the one ton. I have an idea how to build an adjustable mount. Gonna attempt it this Friday. Thinking 24" piece (I will measure what i need first) of angle iron to mount under the crossmember. turn the one ton upside down so it slides up in the current mount spot. drill 4 holes in the angle iron then shim adjust for angles as needed. if i need to move the CB up more I can cut a 2 in stripe of my Stall mat I use as my bed mat and drill the holes to make it a spacer.

    Huh, so I'm confused with the pedal setup you have. Is it gas on the left and brake on the right? Anyway man, glad your truck is ok and you weren't hurt! These tacomas are pretty darn tough!

    Do you have front and rear lockers?

    x2, not following the 'pedal setup' comments, figured I was just being dumb...

    Erik, I hope you don't mind me saying anything.

    He was in a bad motorcycle accident and had to have part of his leg amputated. He uses a attached pedal set up so that he can drive with his left leg.

    I'm sure once you get the pedal set up secured properly and get used to your truck you will be able to handle obstacles like that hill with no problem.
