75lbs or...

Well I way over loaded my truck-I should have made two trips. I have halfton leafs and I had almost a full ton on them. Chris told me on the phone that I may have strained the axle enough to pop the seals (never occured to me about the axle limits) and now I have to keep an eye on that axle for leakage. Wish me luck that I didn't screw it up guys please. And don't do what I did with your truck. Anyways I am still damm proud of my baby Andrew-I shouldn't have put more than maybe 700-800lbs max if you take into account my GVWR of 5100 lbs and even that is pushing it when you consider my shell weighs around 350lbs.

 

meh, i just had 12 mexicans in the back of mine

 

WTF???! So if they averaged 150lbs each then you are as dumb as I am almost to the pound JK

 

I was not aware that you had half ton springs. Are they for the Tundra?

 

No they are standard on the Tacomas

 

Oh, hahaha. I've just never heard anyone refer to Tacoma's as half-ton trucks.

 

Yup we are all half tonners here

 

Well it has been almost two weeks since I hauled 1830 lbs in my truck (just 170lbs shy of a full ton) and I am happy to report it is perfect and running fine as ever. So while I advise against doing what I did I will tell you that this is one more example of just how well built these 1st-gens are (if it was a 2nd-gen it wouldve sagged a spring and popped a gizzard) JK so here's to all the ROCKIN 1st-gens out there including the 4-Bangers-you all give the big boys a run for their money.
