Good wood right there. Locust is heavy but splits easy and ranks high on the BTU chart. Take all you can get.
Reminds me of a few years ago. Sit on it for 3+ years you will be nice a warm.
Then do your civic duty and report the offender,if you can prove any laws were broken.Now before I unload on your ignorance you'd better call the moderators to your defense an you've done previously when you'd been had.
I am a moderator. You clearly indicated you were way over weight for your truck. That is illegal and you know it.Then do your civic duty and report the offender,if you can prove any laws were broken.Now before I unload on your ignorance you'd better call the moderators to your defense an you've done previously when you'd been had.

I agree and if that is 1600 lbs i am impressed by that i have never seen a taco sit that level with any load. But it still doesnt make it safe or legal. 6 lug axles are not made for that weight. And i am sure the tires arent load range e either
The new trucks come with three leaf springs and oversized shocks,that load at 1600lbs didn't even phase it,handles like a dream.I'm going to see if I can put a ton or more in it this weekend,lots more where that came from. Remember honorable moderator if the Taco fails there's no truck made out there I can't buy and pay cash for that can do what taco can't.
Wow thats great. And what did that bring the load capacity of the truck up to?The new trucks come with three leaf springs and oversized shocks,that load at 1600lbs didn't even phase it,handles like a dream.I'm going to see if I can put a ton or more in it this weekend,lots more where that came from.
