2wd sport in the beach sand=not good

go get one hodgey......then maybe we all will have 4x4 when we hit uwharrie. im hoping to make a deal real soon on my lease......hopefully the salesman is actually looking for a truck for me.

 

^^ you can also use your floor mats.

 

Did that in my Suburban! Good thing I wasn't married then!

 

all i gotta say is...get the 4wd and NEVER second guess. its worth it. iv been stuck in places which id never thought i would. all i have to do is click it into 4wd and i feel like a lotus on a hot track with sticky tires...traction all day...that is priceless. its fun messing around in 2wd until i get stuck. then just drop it into 4wd if all else fails. its great. good luck

 

I figure if I get stuck in sand, I can leave the truck in drive and set the cruise at 10MPH and get out to push. When its free all I gotta do is get inside before it hits something.

 

It's funny I just traded my 05 4x4 for an 08 Pre-runner

 

can i ask why??

 

Had a 6spd 4x4 wanted an auto beacuse I didn't care for the 6spd and wanted the Pre-runner beacuse I don't need the 4x4. I never offraod and I'm not in Germany any more so no more snow and lighter/better gas mileage.

 

oh, i got ya. cool. the prerunner is an awesome truck man!! any upgrades you are gonna do with the prerunner?? im actually getting ready to trade my 06 prerunner in for an 04 4x4 tacoma, dealership is supposed to get one in this week for me to look at. the prerunner worked fine for me, but i really wanted 4x4 in the first place, have a need for it, so im gonna get me one.

 

Well I am afraid to take a brand new truck off roading and getting it all scratched up etc. Call me crazy. This one has the tow pkg also and I plan on towing my BMW from TX to VA next week, hope I don't mess it up by doing that. Any I have already done a 3" lift done at the dealer and added 20" chrome wheels and a Kenwood 8120 in dash nav. I plan on adding the TRD intake and exhaust later and maybe the super charger next year. I want to do a few cosmetic things like the black headlight mod but I'm too squeemish to pull the headlight housings apart. I also want to tint the tail lights.

 

sounds liek you got good mods done already and some more good ones planned. towing will be just fine for it man......nothing to worry about.

im kinda the same way about the bhlm, but it does look awesome!

 

Yeah I wish you could just buy the headlights already backed out. I also want to add HIDs and upgrade the sound system. When I had the Kenwood installed the sound quailty went down hill big time, it really sounds worse thatn the stock system. Oh and I forgot to mention I have my 4 wheeler for off roading

 

I forget who but their is a guy on Toyota Nation who will black your headlights out for cash. He does an incredible job.

 

Really? Theat's cool, I will have to look into that although that means I would be driving around with no lights for a while. Thanks for the info.

 

sweet!! im gonna have myself a honda rancher one of these days. just gotta wait till the wife and i get outta this condo and get some land.

 

That's cool I have a suzuki ltz 400 and plan on gettinf a raptor or a yzf. How do you like that flowmaster 40? Did you notice a difference and does it drone?

 

i have always loved flowmaster, and the 40 is an awesome muffler. i got it for sound only, so any performance with it would be bare minimal. some people will say it drones in the cab, but i can say, that nope..........no drone as far as im concerned. you can barely tell its there on the interstate. at idle, it has a little tone, but when you get on it.........it growls awesomely!
