    He said the trailer was 10k. At least I read that as: empty trailer is 10k


    If thats all hes towing cheaper not to have diesel. Especially one that big.
    And a broken one. LOL

    The trailer is kind of a mobile office of sorts.

    So who’s paying for the mods? Hopefully your employer. I wouldn’t put a dime of my own money into it.

    The only thing I'd pay for is the speakers. Everything else is on the employer's dime...

    If it's not oem they will most likely say it's not their problem. Best to take anything after market off unless you want them charging you labor to deal with it.

    They re wired one of my reverse pods after my accident and they had to change a bedside. Maybe they figured they were screwing me enough as it was so that little bit of connector pulling would be free! If anyone was wondering, and TRD Offroad sticker from toyota, yah that costs about 45 dollars :eek: i nearly shit.

    Great looking Sport (I think) MGM with the 4R TRDs on it, looks exactly like my buddy Justin’s truck - can’t really tell if it’s him but I think it is.

    This will probably not end up being very cost-effective and thus will remain a pipe dream, but here it goes anyway...

    Would it be possible, in theory, to take a locking rear diff out of a wrecked 4x4 or PreRunner and replace the 6-lug hubs/brakes with 5-lug ones? I've talked to a lot of people, and swapping an open rear for a posi in any RWD vehicle is quite easy.

    I mentioned my Mobtown bolt on sliders and rear bumper, i said i could remove these before bringing it in and the service advisor said there was no need, they would handle it all. I explained it was all a little on the heavy side... he said they would take care of everything, no problem. Toyota of Knoxville is the best there is in my area, they go out of their way to be helpful.

    Just adding speakers does nothing to improve sound quality.

    Youll want an amp, new wiring, a sub, and a new head unit.

    The employer is paying for the head unit.

    That's a pretty decent rig Charlie. Get it running good and right and it will last a long time

    If the axle is shared with the X-Runner's, then the 4x4 3rd member will swap into it. Not it was a gear change upgrade for them.
