Long Island, NY Tacos

What’s up guys kinda new to the taco forums and planning a camping trip to this bike festival if anyone’s interested. Camp spots book up quick. Down to meet some new friends

 

hey there now how can you just post something about dirt fest and Not post a picture of your rig....
Frequent any trails on the island? I feel like I have seen a quicksand tacoma over on belle meade rd / laurel ridge trails.

my most recent acquisition.... facing the wrong way in the picture, but just gotta love those craigslist finds!

 

There are off road trails in PA, maybe we can set something up?

 

in PA you have Rausch creek & Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area

there will be a big group from TW up there at AOAA next weekend

only issue with PA is the 4 hour drive each way from here on LI

 

BTW, here's a little transition of my truck from bone stock to its current form.

Bone Stock:



Blacked out rear bumper, fenders and front grill:




Finally after King Coilover w/reservoir, SPC UCA, Deaver Leaf Spring, OME Nitroshocks, SCS SR8 and Terra Trac install:

 

Awesome build dude

 

I’ll throw some pics up soon. Whenever I’m doing things I’m the odd ball out who’s not glued to his phone and when it’s picture time i usually miss it haha

 

Thanks man. All I can say is it's a PITA to install parts on a slanted driveway...

 

This is true. I don't really mind that much; it's something that I plan on doing maybe once a month and I'll meet fellow TW members, so IMO the drive is worth it.

 

Awesome build dude

I feel the pain, at my body shop we only have drive on frame machines, no 2 post lift. Actually prefer to do my work on jack stands

 

@CristiaanC when will you be relocating out here?? Still in TX??

 

+1. I’ll drive any distance really. Just wanna get out of the house lol

 

Yep, still here. Waiting for some things to finalize, then I'll head up in mid December. The goal is to be there on the 15th.

 

Also need to sell quite a few of my guns... NY gun laws are SHIT.

 

damn that sucks... yea unless you are LEO our hands are tide behind our backs here with long gun stuff.... and getting pistol permit isn't too easy either.

 

Same here. I'm seriously considering going the overlander route on my truck. I'm going to be picking up a softopper next week, and I'll try and see if I can build myself a bed rack that installs on top of it.

Bought a shit ton of Fluid Film that I'm spraying on before I make the drive up.

 

Unfortunately it seems like the northeast overlanding is nonexistent. Plus idk about taking 2 weeks off of work constantly

 

Well that's disappointing. I don't plan on taking weeks off, but every once in a while I want to take 3 or 4 days off to get away from civilization. I've seen some setups that cost upwards of 50K. Don't plan on doing anything like that, just something simple.

 

I agree. An extended weekend or something. Gonna keep using my ground tent see if we can organize enough trips to warrant a roof top tent. Maybe we can turn this into a Long Island overland thread lol

 

Or a Long Island overlanders thread...lol definitely no overlanding on LI.

Maybe something like a trip out to PA, VT, upstate, etc.
