    My truck doesn't have a trailer hitch right now, but I want to put a UHAUL hitch on it at some point. Would a Mobtown bumper affect this?

    You cannot install a hitch with that we’re bumper. But our bumper has a hitch belt internally to it and you will have no issues trailering from it. It is not official with her rated but we can tell you that it is as strong if not stronger than what you’re going to get off the shelf for a hitch

    So it already has the tow bar and the actual thing that you insert the tow bar into? I wonder if UHAUL could still tap into my tailllights for the trailer wiring harness...?

    Some dickhead cop won't pull me over while I'm towing because my plate is flipped up?

    I don’t see why they would. This is a pretty common feature on all plate bumpers.

    I have a friend who has owned numerous Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars over the years, and he swears by using corn starch to clean carpet...

    I'm going to try it; If it's been proven on the finest motorcar in the world, then why not my Tacoma?

    Plus, it's less than $1.50 per box!

    You sure it wasn't baking soda he used? I've heard of that. It can remove odors. Never heard of vacuuming with corn strarch. If it gets wet, you'll have a problem.

    I've used Arm & Hammer for odor control and carpet cleaning but not corn starch.

    Sprinkle (yes, I went crazy with the corn starch) on carpet, leave overnight, then vacuum up...
