Have you owned the truck since new? If so, check the window sticker. If not, I would say that there's no way you can be sure the original diff, whatever it was, remains. So, in that case, you have to

So you are suggesting that weight only positively effects traction used to stop, not used to go or turn? How does the weight know when "turn off" and "turn on"? That's obviously not possible. If weig

All my experience is with the first two generations of MR2, of which I've had 12, but I don't expect the Spyder is all that different. I doubt seriously there's anything wrong with your rotors. I dou

So, if I understand you correctly, your priorities are a solid, weather-resistant, inexpensive and lightweight floor? That's gonna be tough, I think. You might have to pick two or three. For what it'

Can't say, I didn't keep the trailer long enough. Hot tires will pull up almost anything. Sand/paint is probably the cheapest way to go, but if you are keeping this trailer for a long time, the addit

As previously noted, weight transfer to the undriven wheel. If anything, add weight to the front, not the rear. I have no idea if there are off-the-shelf spike tires available, but they are easy enou

I'm not sure that's a great idea. If the house signal reaches the shop, even weakly ( or vice versa ), you'll have two networks with the same name available. I bet that'll cause more problems than it

The other question is, do you want to secure the load in the trailer, or just the wheels? I know some people like the idea of 1 to 3 tons of vehicle flopping around in their trailer... I do not. I th

Really the only reason for floor e-track is to haul a variety of things. If this is only going to be a mobile TR6 garage, I see no point at all. Put d-rings where you need them, and be done with it.

At risk of sounding like a paid shill, which I am not. Use snap hooks, which cannot disengage. Relying on tension alone to maintain attachment is risky, as you discovered. <http://www.lodimetals.com/
