    I never intended my Tacoma to be a work truck beyond hauling bicycles and kayaks, but today it made me proud (if a truck can do that). :thumbsup:

    A piece of fascia was falling off my garage about 25 feet above the ground and the only way I could figure-out to fix it that didn't involve me falling to me death or spending a small fortune was to rent all the scaffolding I could at my local Menards. That ended-up being 20 feet of scaffolding (4 - 60" sections plus guard rails that I didn't use) and all that goes with it.

    To my amazement, I was able to get the entire scaffolding in the back of my Taco with no issues. Note that I do have overload springs in back because my truck is lowered 3" and they worked perfectly.

    Job job lil' Taco!
