oh no!!!! hope you are all ok though! that tow vehicle can be replaced, i know you didnt have it for long, that is my worst fear towing my 914 when using U-haul. man i hope "howard" is repairable!
looks like the car came off the trailer? thats why i always use extra straps front and rear, AND the safety chain in rear too.

Bought the Tundra new in 2002. Was planning to keep it up until the ripe old age were I could no longer drive. It just turned over 69k miles last week. Looks like I'll be keeping the '96 Tacoma (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

HOWARD may need to visit a Celette bench to see if it's still straight and have a couple wrinkles smoothed out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) - otherwise, doesn't look too bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Ran the car to warm it up before draining oil. Not too much gunk in the screen. Ordered 12x18 copper washers for the drain plug. The local auto parts store did not have any. Question: Can I use the same size washers for the MC banjo fitting? Having a hard time figuring out what those are supposed to be.

"Retired' from Toyota in 2010, was there when your Tundra was built. My dad still has one almost identical to yours. Glad it kept you safe, they are great trucks. Had a 2006 Double Cab myself, right before the redesign.

"10x16 and 14x16 Copper Gaskets go on the banjo bolts 14x16 under the head and 10x16 under the banjo and on the MC side".....per Eric Shea.... Good luck with this!

That is so cool and creative Brent; I modified mine to accept a tapered coffee cup bot not much else. That is really sweet... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Way too cool, Brent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

If you ever decide to manufacture any more, put me on the list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
