What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Put the tacomas ass to work. Hauled way more than I should but did just fine. Stopping was a little sketchy not gunna lie, even with lots of room

This trailer was so loaded the first load that the tires were rubbing the fender. Tires rubbed for a few miles from the mulch yard and lowes to the house. Got home last night and smelt rubber, felt the fender and it just about was on fire. Went back an hour later and it was still warm.


Today's load wasn't as bad tho. Moved 9 yards of mulch plus a whole pallet of natures helper. Hope yalls 4th was less labor intensive than mine was

Edit: 3 yards of mulch the first trip and 6 the second trip

 

A weight distributing hitch will help.

ETA: 9 yards of mulch + trailer weight would put you very near the towing capacity of your truck

If there is a moderate amount of moisture it could very well exceed the capacity of your truck.

mulch is anywhere from 350 - 900lbs per yard depending on moisture level.
Then factor in the trailer which I would say that one just by looking at it around 800 - 1200lbs.

 

What better way of celebrating the 4th than drilling holes into my Taco.

Good looking truck bud what did you use for the black on the hood
Just noticed your in Va where are you at?

 

9 yards of mulch? Not hardly.

 

And now my black wheels are cement color wheels .

 

Tell that to him.

I only do this a couple times a year. This load was 3 yards plus a pallet of natures helper. The next was a 6 yard load and was relatively dry. The first load was probably pushing my towing capacity but it's a Tacoma

 

9 yards in total. 3 the first trip and 6 the second. 1 scoop= 1 yard

 

Mounted pods in the little cuby holes to act as cargo lights

 

This will give you a valid reason to wear sunglasses at night.

 

Hmm what are these 'little cuby holes' your taco has? Mine has not such 'little cuby holes'.

All the things I could cram in such places! Like lights.

 

I had a 2012 that had them and now my 2015 doesn't have them. Toyota quit putting them in sometime after 2012.

 

Missing them on my '13...

 

I don't know what year they started putting them in. They were Kind of useless if you had a camper shell without windoors on your truck.

 

Finally!

What exhaust do you have? Sounds mean

 

I think they only come with short bed trucks. But, could be year-model specific too.

 

My short bed 2015 has them and my 08 short bed did as well.
