Western Massachusetts Tacomas

Excellent.
First big project since the injury?

 

No lol I cut my hand on the really big project and finished the project with my messed up hand. Next weekend is some motor work on a 6.4 Powerstroke, exhaust manifolds and EGR delete so that will take awhile. This Monday we start on an exhaust project which wont be too bad

 

Wow. No rest for the injured.

 

Nope! Not sure if I'll be helping with that 6.4 project or not yet but there is a good possibility that I will be

 

@DrFunker My '11 aligned with everything in the green with OME 884s up front. Granted, every truck is different but if you are going with 885s I'd definitely get UCAs.

 

Switched back to my summer tires and wheels today. Figured it's close enough to spring now, even if we get snow I have 4WD to fall back on.

 

can you elaborate?

 

I don't see an issue with not wrecking a nice set of wheels... Plus running off-road tires on the snow suck, especially the wider you go. So I think it's fine to have 2 sets of wheels and tires

 

drew when can we go wheel>? im itching to get out on some trails and break my truck in. i have nothing around me but beaches to drive on.

 

Beaches are nice too.

 

May try to get out tomorrow for a bit. Hit some of the places I went out to last summer/fall. See what I can see.

 

Yup, that's why I do it.

My winter wheels look awful and I don't care because the salt and sand would destroy them anyway. Plus I doubt my A/Ts are as good in the snow as my dedicated snow tires. Keeps miles off the good (well, good-ish) wheels and tires, too.

For the $600ish total that I paid for the snows and extra alloys, it's well worth it.

 

There is very little snow even in the hilltowns. I drove out to the start of the Housatonic (East Branch) this morning to see how high the water was (I like to kayak there in the summer). There was basically just a dusting of snow and some ice on this road that they don't plow.

 

Where are you coming back out this way?

 

@skiergd011013 Thanks again John.

 

No, thank YOU!!!

 

not sure yet. doesnt look like we have work in western ma for a little while. i could be down for a day trip though. as long as its somewhere that we could ride legally and not have to worry about being kicked out of.

 

I would have to find a decent length trail to make it worth your while of coming out here

 

Drew you can always come out to the Bezerkshires.

 

I need to learn trails up there, once my truck is fixed lol
