Tow package

I had the Tundra, and think the engine was actually 4.6 Litre. And on the towing, Toyota is more worried about extreme turns and hitting the corner of the trailer on the side of the truck. There is...

I have done this many times. Go to a bank in Pa that is a branch of your bank. Get the check from the bank in front of the seller. Have the title and bill of sale notarized at the bank. Everybody is...

Frame and axle

You have the hard part done. That is removing the trailer from the frame. My suggestion is to replace the axle and frame, using state of the art axles and a heavier duty frame. Those frames were...

Why water leaks into a garage.

Ah that this would be so... the threshold of a garage has the lip to keep driven and gravity fed rain from entering the garage. True, the garage floor should also be sloped, but the astrigal of a...

Pre War???

Being one of the "pre-war" kids, "pre-war" always refers to WWII. Period. Where the greatest generation saved us from being ruled by foreigners. Well, maybe we will be ruled that way from within...

Clear coating

Your car is clear coated, no matter the brand. Some of the clear coats last 40 years. Depends on how much UV they are subject to.

Downshifting on the downhills

I think the OP was talking about going down the slopes, not up. The danger in overspeed in downhills is the trailer will push and on curves, tends to push the rear end out, causing loss of steering...

How easy the truck is to maneuver in town depends on the model. If it is a full 4 door with 8 ft bed, tough. If is it a 2 door with a 8'box, that is the same size as a 4 door shortbed. But, in any...

Dealers don't want you to use air bags.

Look under most commercial 18 wheel trailers and you will see airbags. Dealers don't want to fool with the bags, but I have used them on tow vehicles for the past 50 years, and never had a problem....

I had a 2007 Tundra and rue the day I ever sold it. It was absolutely the best pickup I ever had, driven, or rode in. Get a vintage V6, 2 wd, 4 door and you will never regret it.

Insurance company would own it lock stock and barrel. Taking stuff out first would/could be considered fraud. Just my opinion.
