This is why I need the zuk mod. (Which I ordered the springs for the other day) it dont like the load of 500# to much.
But right now I have 600# loaded in the bed, and it drives better than unloaded. But it is all piled towards the front.

Picture I found from back when I had the bed off, and plated the frame then painted the frame after cleaning it all up. I don't know why, but this is the only picture I have of it.

I didnt expext it to plow very well, but It did amazing. I do really steep hills, so I didnt plow uphill, but I cant even plow uphill with our full size farm tractor with chains. But the truck handled it really well. The plow didnt throw it around at all or anything. I was very impressed.

Yeah it's not a tundra it's marketed as a small to mid size truck. But after having the toyota I have now and an s10 I think toyotas are superior in about every dimension except maybe torque wise with the v6s

Made a photo bucket account so I can finally upload more pictures. These are from out foster last weekend. Also today I ordered new headlights, a air filter, and a couple other little things. I am absolutely loving my zuk mod I did a couple weeks ago. I used 150# springs, and the ride is a lot better than I imagined. They haul great also. They even did pretty good out the trail.
