I will definitely keep everyone posted on how it does. Only time will tell. I will post more pics of it later this week when my salter shows up. I ordered the new buyers TGS06 Tailgate Spreader. I am waaaaay excited to have it ready to go and clear some roads!!

It's amazing how rims and tires can make or break a truck. ( this is just me ) but I'm not a big fan of foreign vehicles or trucks for that matter but yours sure does look good, and the rims and tires are perfect !! :)

If your salter was Grey or black :dizzy: that would would fit the ticket !! :nod:

I thought you couldnt put that blade on a tundra i thought the truck was recommended to only have a personal plow, or light duty........

It is bigger than recomended. The biggest recomended is the 7'6 HD. I went with the Xblade because I have the lift and all of my contracts are very close to my house. So I won't be doing much driving with the plow between jobs. I will definetely keep everyone posted on how it holds up. I was always a chevy guy before I bought this truck and so far I am liking it better than any other Chev I have ever had.

according to ematch on the fisher website that truck is only recommended for a sport duty plow or a homesteader plow.
i would say you are WAY over. lol
i only brought it up because someone i know just bought one too and they refused to put a regular plow on it. (he is quite dissappointed)

But definatley keep us informed. inquiring minds.......

I had heard rumors that the previous style tundra, not sure if it still is the same for this model, but that the frame was built with a crumple zone and that was a hazard for plowing. Basically it implied that if you hit a snowbank, curb, whatever hard enough it would ruin your frame and total your truck I guess.

Other than that, it looks really good. Those tundras are growing on me I'd have to say. Still though sorta seems big for a half-ton, at least I think Tundra's are 1/2 tons. Again, did you do anything to beef up the front to hold the weight? I know you said you don't drive far, but still a bit of precaution never hurt anyone.
