SWEET! I thought we were having an earth quake Some serious amount of BTUs in that baby. Hickory type, Pig nut?
It's on my brother's land the bottom of the tree had a hollow spot and would eventually have fallen anyway it's on a steep slope. We have talked about cutting it for 2 years and I finally got brave enough, also a few small oaks under that big canopy that can come up now.
Pignut is it there are a few big ones like that out there, we don't cut much my brother loves his trees
Nice drop, no hang up or anything. My last few hickories had a big canopy and hung up a bit on the way down. Well done
I got a '16 Tacoma, like everything but the transmission/engine. No smooth acceleration, lot of surging and shifting makes me very disappointed, other than that perfect truck...
I guess I was asking what a normal sized load for that truck would be, not just how much can you fit record breaking shock dragging load! I was with the impression that toyotas wouldn't/couldn't haul much firewood.....from talking with local owners. Don't get me wrong now, as they really liked the truck, but they all said that they wished it would haul more.
For campinspecter the 2014 Tacoma hauls just enough to do in one day. By the time he cuts, splits and loads it and then unloads it either here or at Mom's, it is a day's work. We have a canopy on ours so he can load a little higher than the truck bed.
Nice load. That stuffs heavy. I have a 07' Tacoma and here's a couple typical loads. Like others have said, it's enough to keep me busy and tired. If I was 100% dependent on wood heating I would have to get a full size and a large trailer but this works out just fine for my needs. I did upgrade suspension to a full dakar leaf pack and all new HD shocks, now it's just a matter of all the other parts holding together. Stock suspension was pretty weak. All sugar maple and cherry. Four man sized rounds of silver maple.
campinspecter had air bags installed under the rear of our truck. He uses them only when he has a load of wood in the back.
The new TRD pro taco's would probably not need anything suspension wise. I just wish that crew cab TRD pro wasn't 40k. I can get a nice crew cab f150 for that. The new 3.5 v6 in the Taco sounds like a much better motor than the old 4.0. not that the 4.0 is horrible, it just wasn't great at anything. I love our 04 4.7 v8 4runner, it's just got no pick up bed. Why yota never put a v8 in the taco I'll never know, just like why they stopped putting v8s in the 4runner, and only offered it in the Lexus GX???? What saw is that? An ms 441?
