    One load in the morning and one in the afternoon. Load #1 was all alder. Load #2 was mostly alder with a little fir and hemlock in the mix. I like to get on this stuff as soon as snow conditions allow, as the easy wood gets taken pretty fast. This was all in one spot a quarter mile off the pavement.
    I got it all split and put away yesterday. It all measured out to 107 cubic feet, or .84 of a cord.

    Do you have overload springs or coil over helper shocks on your T100? It sure seems to handle a load better than mine.

    Nope, all stock. My dad also has a T100 with no modifications and it handles a load the same as mine. They're both 4wd, 3.4, manuals.
    I've looked into buying a newer tacoma and I would probably put sumo springs on one based on reviews, cost, and ease of installation.

    Some nice looking stuff there BT! :thumbs: Always nice to get it split and stacked right away too. Going back for more?

    Your pooch has to turn that frown upside down. :D Looks like a nice cutting companion!

    Mine is a 1998 4wd, 3.4 and manual trans, too. Perhaps mine has been loaded heavily by its previous owners. I've only had it for a bit over a year.

    If you're loading yours as full as I do, it could be that the species of wood you cut is heavier. Just an idea. My truck's stance might look different if it was loaded with something like oak.

    Went for a drive the other day and was surprised to see how much stuff came down on the roads after the snow we had.

    Back at it this morning. I drove past the alders another hundred yards or so to see what else was available. Just around the bend was a mess of fir and hemlock on the road. Everything was all split and put away by noon.

    Nice score and so close to home I gather.

    Cute puppy, and fantastic scenery.
    PNW sure can be scenic.
