    Well, after 2 subsequent weekends installing new shocks n springs to my buddy's Trailhawk, it was time to get it to some real pros to figure out what we jacked up. Something about an axle shaft coming loose?? Shit, I don't know. Damn Mercedes designed BS. Most frustrating (and hot) garage time I've had in a hot minute.

    $&@"&$!?

    On the upside, got to try the new Tundra out for a tow job. 18x8 PJ flat bed, all diamond plate steel and a Jeep coming in around 4500-4600lbs with all the crap in it. I figure that trailer has to go at least 2k lbs...couldn't find good data online.

    Either way, the Ole Girl towed that juuuuust fine. Pretty happy with that

    That is all

    With all the extra power, since the towed vehicle is white as well.....

    I was kinda hoping this was a typo thread starter...just to be honest. Lol
