Here is my tundra, no load on it. 234,000 miles. I have to take it in for another inspection, they are extending the recall/warranty for the rusted frames on some years. I had it in once already, they replaced the spare tire straps and the gas tank straps. All free. I do load it down on occasion though. Just discovered I have one broken leaf spring. It was hanging out the side and banging into stuff as I drove down the road. Also starting to get a modulating vibration/hum when driving. May be a bearing or something in the rear end. maybe just a bad tire. :msp_wink: I keep telling myself that anyway.

Mine has the same thing not cheap to rebuild and not many around! That was around 12,000 ago.
 
Man, you guys are making me itch for another Toy. I often miss my old 86 4X4, especially when there's three drops of water on the ground and I want to leave pavement in my 2wd diesel.

until now, I was cutting everything with my 18" B/C'd 450 and dad's 51 with 16" B/C. Now I can tackle even bigger stuff with the addition of my new (to me) Stihl MS650

Nope!! Pictures are real.

He can evaluate saws very accurately.

Befor he got the Stihl 650 I had him evaluate an 026 Brad had ported for me.

On his first running of a ported saw:


















Holy Krap!!!! This thing $hits wood!!

Very truthful lad.
