NICE TFE. I think you need to keep a set of 12" x 250 pounders around just for those situations.

By the way....Great background in that pic. That could be used as a monitor background pic also
With that much weight, I imagine the coils are just about fully compressed with all coils touching each other.....they call that a brick. So, did yours go brick?

Hahaha...

And DANGGGGG, for sure! That is crazy, lol...

BTW, I had over 800# in my 4Runner(already heavier) on a fairly long haul, .... barely dropped 1.5", if that, after 3.25" gain from the 12"x125# coils I added.

GREAT for heavy loads, indeed!

looks like you need a "got wood?" sticker on there, lol. i can't imagine regularly hauling loads that heavy in a mini truck....with recap tires i've hauled a couple loads around 1500# and it's pretty scary trying to stop from a decent speed - and i live where it's flat. but dang man, go Yota!

i regularly see this Yota on my way to work - had to snap a pic one day because he was carrying one of the most ridiculous loads i've seen in a Yota (besides the guys leaving Home Depot with like 30 sheets of sheetrock in the bed ):

dunno what kind of weight that is, but i know carpet isn't light and his load is WAY up there!

I've had a full ton of sand and/or concrete in my 95 a few times and 3/4s of a ton in my 81 and both of them held the weight great. Just take it easy. Even took 3/4s of a ton of gravel 20 miles to my house for driveway repair with over a 1000 foot climb (all slow roads 25-35 mph). These little trucks can actually hold more weight than most full size trucks which are only rated for a 1/2 ton. Believe in the door of my 95 it says max load is just over 1700 lbs.

I think you owe that truck some bigtime love for keeping you warm in the winter!
