Air bags I'm sure would have been nice. Are you driving at night at all? I know with my old trailer, drivers coming the opposite way would flash their high beams at me because they thought I had mine on...

Teaser from the road. We are a little over 1850 miles into the trip, almost halfway there! Just went over 90k on the truck and have been averaging 11-12 mpg. Been trying to take it easy going through the mountains the highest temps on the tranny I've scene on my scanguage is 223* for about 2min while climbing through a pass at 4300 feet. I have been averaging about 170*

Yeah I'm an *** about that. Not re-adjusting your lights after knowing your *** end is down due to a trailer? That would definitely get my high beams or maybe even my light bar. Just saying.


Where you at so far?

My friends Tundra has a knob to adjust the headlights up/down while your driving. ..... the Tacoma doesn't ?

Man, seeing those pics really makes me miss San Diego. Are you out on Coronado Island? I was in and out of there when I was in the Navy.
