New England B.S. Thread

Haha yes, she is my unicorn. I've been searching for a good used Tacoma for a long time. Every time I went to go test drive one, I got a call from the dealer/private seller telling me that someone already put a deposit on it. But after almost 6 months of extensive searching I found Eleanor. This is her the day I drove off the lot.

 

Liking the wheels you put on her. Did you get her from Copeland by any chance/

 

Yes, because last weekend I had the motorcycle out getting it all prepped for riding season and, in the process, shuffled everything around my garage putting the snowblower all the way in the back. If it snows tonight, I'm either shoveling, or pulling everything out to get at the snowblower.

 

Thanks. The wheels are pro comp 7005 17". I actually got it at BMW in Peabody as weird as it sounds. It was the week before the new year, and I could tell they didn't like the idea of a Toyota truck in their lot so I took it off their hands

 

I actually left mine out front for some reason, but I was seriously hoping we were done for the year.

I have someone coming in to put a door in my house between the garage and house so I needed to completely reshuffle the garage as it is, now it's in total flux. First world problems at it's finest.

 

Fred sold his truck awhile back.. @Joey_Buttafuoco

 

Any of you guys have personal experience with tire sizes 255/80R17 or 275/70R17?

Finally going to get a second set for the sport rims I bought a while back. Don't really want to go for 285's. Have been reading a bunch on other threads, but I didn't know if anyone in NE has any pros and cons of either, or suggestions.

 

I've got 255 85 16 km2s, i dont run them in winter as they dont have any siping and they are a hard compound load e, think 10 speed bicycle- not much grip. Dont get me wrong they ride nice in summer, again 10 speed bicycle, aired up properly not much rolling resistance- good mileage

 

Just got home with the family from N Conway. We had a good time. Last night we stayed at the Hampton Inn and they have a cool little water park inside. It's a nice place. Then today my son went snowboarding at Attitash while me, my wife and the little one's went around N Conway. What a nice place that's only a few hours away.

 

Pictures of the weekend

 

Looks like you guys had fun! Love North Conway , we go there every October for our anniversary.


On a side note I HATE SNOW!

 

Looks like you guys had a great time Rob!

 

Thanks guys. Yes we really had a great time. Hope everyone has a good week

P.S. Denis. You need to embrace the snow, hold the snow, love the snow!!!

 

....because it'll be gone tomorrow

 

Ugh, 2 hour delay. Just saw that all my classes today with be 30 minutes, useless.

 

Definitely not pulling the snow blower out of the shed for this. Gonna wait for it to melt in the next few days.

Looks like the South Shore got hit worse.

 

I'm actually bored enough right now that I'm going to get snowblower out of the shed

 

Kids crack me up. Saw a kid walking in his yard he's about 6 and wearing huge snow shoes. we have less than an inch on the ground so far.

 

I'm running 275/70/17 big ko2 on my FJ. Almost a 33" tire and no chopping needed on the FJ. You'd probably still have to do a cmc on the taco to get them to fit.

 

I'm not even going to bother with it. Just going to wait till it melts.
