Also try not to drive in 4wd too much on dry solid pavement, doesn't fair well for the components being put into a bind like that. I try to honor in the pasture or drive around on gravel forestry roads every do often so I can engage 4H an 4L, it's recommended to do this so that it lubes the 4wd components so that it works when you need it. It will also help you to identify if there is something wrong with your 4wd before you get into a situation where you really need it. My brother found that bout the hard way, lol. In his yard of all places.

Haha that's a good idea! I found out mine was out in a big *** puddle! Had to get pulled out by my buddy's tundra. Atleast it was an older tundra (the small ones) not those stupid giant half tons

What?!? I love the new Tundra, at least it's a real truck. They're labeled half ton but they actually have 3/4 ton suspensions and frames. I like my dad's old 2000 Tundra, but it sucks towing with it, the old suspension is so squirrelly, he used to get mad because I'd always ask to unhook his Tundra so I could use my 250 when we would haul a lot of hay. I hated driving that Tundra with any kind of decent load behind it. I can even tell a difference in his truck and my F150 with a load of feed I the back.

Haha man I hate them. I just think they are way to big for a half ton. They are very roomy but I just can't stand those trucks haha. I'd rather have a damn Chevy! Haha

Also what do you mean buy its a real truck? I think the only real trucks are ford, dodge and Chevy. I'd take my bmx bike over a yota or one of those god awful nissans haha

That is the one thing I liked about the older ones. I remember bring my F250 home and my dad saying, "just had to be a truck like mine huh?" his 2000 Tundra is black with tab leather and wooden interior accents just like my F250 was an both are extended cab. I simply responded, "Dad, my truck will tow about 10 of your trucks." Lol.
