COMIN TO SOCAL!! Opinions!!

Since I finally have this in the right section (Thanks Chad) Here we go....
Alright, so.... I'll be headed to San Diego within the next few months.
I have an 05' DC Prerunner Sport, no locker, no 4WD..... *sigh*
SO I wanted to get opinions on mods. I have none as of yet, probably swap out the factory stereo here soon. My question pertains to lifts, tires, wheeling, sand, dunes, etc, etc, etc....
I'm lookin for SoCal peeps mostly. What's in San Diego for PreRunners? Would I be better off putting on a lift, shocks, AAL, and some grapplers and doing some "light wheeling"? Or.... putting on some fat tires, possibly a long travel kit etc, etc and jumping some dunes given the fact that I have a PreRunner. General answers are welcome. I don't need sizes of tires, or specific specs just yet. Just some general "hey, what should I do to my Taco" answers TY


Note: I got stuck in the sand at Pismo.... made me cry a little inside..

 

LONG TRAVEL FO SHO!!!!!

there's plenty of offroad stuff here in CA that you can enjoy in a 2WD truck. i say long travel the thing or get a really nice mid travel set up

some food for thought...

there are plenty of other options out there these are to just get ya started

 

Sweeeeeeet......
Saved a few pics for motivation purposes

Thanks Matt, keep em comin guys!

 

some more motivation for ya. 2WD prerunner builds from TTORA. read through them and you'll learn a ton of info. these are just a few, there are many more

 

I'll be over by 32nd street still looking at apartments, but I've found a few that I like, around Imperial Beach area "ish".... still looking

 

That third one is soooo sexy!

 

None of the pics are showing up... just the little white square with the red "x" in it........ it's gotta be my pc here at work...

I'll take a better look at em when I get home
All I know... is that I'm getting REALLY excited... !!!

 

Moving to SoCal huh? The first thing you'll need to do is lift your truck about 18" being sure that the front is a couple of inches higher than the rear. Second, while 44" mudders are recommended, you'll avoid too much shit talking if you at least have 38.5's. Third, you'll need to get a gangsta' honky wardrobe and some sleeve tattoos (see Metal Mulisha for ideas here). Lastly, get to the nearest mall, turn that stereo up real loud, and let the good times roll.

One last note. Never, ever, even in an emergency, let your truck touch a dirt road.

Just kidding guys. Don't flame me too bad.

 

HAHA, pretty accurate about alot of the bro's around here, you just left out the over the top barley readable SO-CAL sticker that takes up the whole back window, like so...



and now things will even be worse with these retarded pieces...

 

Dam cant wait for tax returns im going to buy some 26" Metal Mulisha wheels,


But seriously man i love California and there are a lot offroading shops and private fab shops.

 

JUST to clarify.... I was thinking something more like this...

I just don't know the SD area very well, and wasn't sure where there was to go. SD is kinda far from Pismo......



I "live" in Cali.....I'm not "from" Cali haha

 

Yeah, it's far from Pismo but that's ok, it's close to Glamis. Just as much fun to be had there.

 

FUCK
I never know whether to laugh or cry, sometimes I laugh so hard tears come out. Front end jacked the fuck up, rear dropped, moto metal (or soon to be metal mulisha) rims, Monster/Skin/So-cal/Rockstar/Famous stars and straps stickers plastered all over the damn thing, dirt bike goggles hangin from the rear view mirror, and a dude in a basketball jersey with tats, flat bill hat, dickie high waters, knee socks and vans. YAH BRO!

 

exaclty, i can tolerate all the other dumb people out here in california, but bro's are where i draw the line. they are just too retarded

 

HAHAHAHAH!!! ..........

 

Yea, I can't wait to get down there and go wheelin with you guys
The plan as of now: get a locker for the Runner, maybe like 3" lift, some good tread, cb, toolbox, etc. More of like a small trails/ sand / long distance rig (drove to Texas and back last month )
And then I've seen a LOT of 1995-2000 4x4's for around $4k in SD. I'll probably pick one up for my serious crawlin. Then I can wheel it to shit, and I won't really care

 

Dude if you have the money for it LONG TRAVEL it out! As far as the whole bro thing... we all have something to be ashamed of! and if you dont think we get dirty around san diego check these out!



YEAH im there is a black truck! somewhere

 

nice

 

too funny....
I'll be there in Sept, hopefully....
where can I get those mulisha wheels and 44's..?? lol
