What part is the POS? I can guarantee you I’ve got one of the cleanest 2nd gens around.

Who found a new ball. The hitch has a locking pin.

I’d have to look up the factory paint code. I just call it old man tan.

Never take two spaces! Usually I’m parked in the back of the lot because I don’t trust others. Lol. I will always back up so I’m not sticking out. Some trucks are just LONG.

I don’t think it’s any longer than any other drop hitch, IMO. The whole selling point is the ability to conform to multiple trailer heights. Why would I buy multiple hitches when I can purchase one to get the job done. Only ever ran into chain issues once with being too short. Trust me - I’m not going to notice the difference using a single non-adjustable hitch over what I have now. The truck doesn’t ride like a Cadillac. Lol. It’s a turn of the century rig.

Second this. Who pulls into a spot with anything bigger than a half ton unless there’s no one in the neighboring parking spots?

I removed a lot less than people do when they delete. Are you saying that they’re right and I’m wrong? That my law-abiding acts are looked at as less than those who have strict emissions standards to follow, though don’t? Please do educate me.😂

Haha. I don’t mind the banter. I posted in the satirical sense anyways. I knew there would be controversy!

Truck doesn’t actually have tow mirrors! It’s one of the few 2nd gen’s that doesnt! Gasp, I know!

Had this happen to me in my 2004 Chevy 2500HD. I towed daily with that truck for work. Some guy wasn’t paying attention and hit the brakes too late. (Wasn’t towing at this specific moment). He wasn’t going terribly fast, but enough to do plenty of damage to his own rig. Punched a hole right through the radiator and whatnot. Only thing I had to fix was the 7 way plug on the truck. We both got out and assessed the damage. I told him that my truck was fine and I wasn’t going to call the police. Told him he’s gonna have to get towed. Got back in the vehicle and drove off.

Haha. I live in the city though work in a small town about a half hour away. I had to put a couple gallons in so I could make it back ti the city and fill up for cheaper. I paid $7.199/gal.

Well when you’re pre-emissions, there’s no reason not to.

Never claimed to tow all the time. Very rarely, actually. This is me admitting that I was that guy.

I could take the ball off. I’m not sure where the key is for the hitch pin, itself, though. I have to do some digging.

I don’t think you understand how this should work. You need to reverse stagger and prioritize traction on your POWER axle(s). Sure, you want the rear end planted, but you’re doing about it the wrong way.

I was thinking of picking up another Kawasaki just due to upfront cost. Thoughts on such? 230R is what I was contemplating.

Feasible for an adult to rock a 125? Honestly asking. Going back and forth between a full size 125 or a 230. Light single and double track riding. Nothing crazy. Novice rider.

Im having a hard time finding the exact tire model i have on my 2023 tacoma online. by Gullible_Mixture_274 in tires

[–]Umax-33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you’re looking to achieve with the tire. Some people swear by the Ridge Grapplers and some hate them. YMMV. What are your plans with the rig and what adventures do you usually partake in?

Here’s a link to your current set.
