Worked well for your rig, right??


Needs traction. Snowy cold tires at higher PSI on a cold snowy trailer deck led to badness.

Also found my wireless winch remote is MIA.

Fml

2 hours or so from home to tied down. At least it's a sweet 55-60mph street machine! Hawged to M4 & back.

Got 40' into the trail and got stuck. Snapped a steering adjuster sleeve getting yanked on by an 09 Tacoma that is following in the Dakota's body damage footsteps.

Need to grab the linkage from the Dumpbus axle for trail spares.

Need traction aids. I guess that is a full set of spare axle shafts and unit bearings if I tear it down too.

I don't know why I didn't think to check this, but the multifunction switch is a match to the Dakota's. Sweet.  Will swap when it warms up!
