    This was my exact thinking, I highly doubt a small trailer would ever get close to 3500lbs but having 2 extra wheels braking in an emergency or when crawling down a slick hill really helps.

    I am on the other end of the age spectrum. The day my daughter passed her driving test and left the Courthouse driving by herself is a day I'll never forget. She was ecstatic at her new found freedom, I just stood in the doorway and watched her leave. I was happy as I could be for her but it also somewhat sad for me, no more little girl. Enjoy that Tacoma, be safe.

    Got a text from body shop. Truck will be done and ready for pick up tomorrow at 5:30pm Now I hope it doesn't rain until I get it home and in the driveway. They detail it before giving back so I will have a nice clean truck to bring. Have projects to Bed Lights, under hood lights, Bed mat and couple other I can remember, will have to look in cabinet and see what on shelf.

    About a week ago I decided I wanted to move my hi lift out of the bed and onto my camper shell roof rack. Partially because I wanted easier access (even though I’ve only used it a couple times) and partially because I thought it’d look cool, if I’m being honest.

    So I bought some pelfreybilt universal hi lift mounts via BAMF.

    I ended up ditching the included hardware and using my own. 2.5” long 1/4” carriage bolts will hold it to the prinsu. The main bolt that holds the hi lift down, is a 3/8”-16.

    I bought a 3” all thread bolt, and installed it with red thread locker. Then I cut the head off, and cleaned up the threads when a nut. Scuffed them up, taped off the threads and acetone wiped them, primed and paint.

    To actually hold the hi lift down I bought a pack of these.

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005LI7HWU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lmwGCb473RBK8

    I don’t want to have to rely on tools to get them off. To fight corrosion, I’ll put a bag over the main part, and regularly maintain it so it works when I need it.

    For security I’ll get some braided steel wire and run it through the hi lift and around the prinsu, and just unlock it before I hit the trail, like I do with all my other locked stuff.

    Once the knobs get here Saturday, I’ll do the actual install. That’ll also give the paint plenty of time to dry.

    Wasn’t terrible. Just time consuming and tedious. The hardest part was the camper shell by far.
