PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I've heard of MotorMax. When I was a kid I had few toy cars and truck by them... No Tacomas though

 

That's up near the NY border, right?

 

You need 4x4.

 

I got the same truck out of a ditch in the snow a little over a year ago using only the electronic LSD...

I managed to get my truck stuck for the first time.

 

lol don't you have crawl control?
Time for some mods winch lift wheels tires etc.
were you actually stuck or couldn't go forward?

 

No crawl control,i have the basic model.I was trying to back out a large packed snowbank.I was in 4lo.PS I was really stuck,packed the frame with nice heavy snow.

 

Maybe I need to be backed in and get a run for it,i think I could have made it!

 

How did you get out?

 

I shoveled and I shoveled,then I decided to shovel some more,then a man next door with a snowblower cleared a path next to each side of the truck so I could shovel some more.Once the frame wasn't lifted by the snow under it, it came out.

 

I was actual shocked it got stuck I have gone thru some tall plowed in snow banks with it.But this bank was a bit much,15" snow fall.It wasn't my driveway,so no I wasn't shoveling it.

 

Yea once your packed in and take weight off the wheels it's over.
The crawl thing would had been a good test.
Mine is a base the only extras I did myself.

That snowplow curl gets pretty packed. The city here at times uses a grader. I watched my neighbor get a run at it with his jeep. Pretty near stopped him dead in his track. Busted his grill and a light I believe.

 

Got 15" of snow. Question does the traction control shut off automatically when in 4lo? Does it make any diff if extra power button on?

 

Not sure? I gotta believe it allows the tire's to spin without the computer interference.
Not sure. My truck is manual so no traction control.
Dang I don't got a extra power button either. I do have window stickers on my rear window. Must add 5 hp anyway.

 

Just about 34" in Scranton, PA. This was half way through the storm.

Must be a record for your area we ended up with close to 30.
A record for us here. We are pretty prepared for this stuff but it still shut a lot of stuff down.

 

I had a right hand drive one in the UK before someone crashed into it and totaled it out. Mine was a 2001 though, loved that car.

 

They don't call it "The Ultimate Driving Machine" for nothing...

Now here's something funny...

My base model 2010 Tacoma regular cab has a better turning radius than the 2008 Acura TL my dad used to have, and the 2006 Nissan Maxima my best friend still has...

 

We got less than we expected, if you can believe that...
