Time to go whip some mad tite drifto donuts in my parking lot while my neighbors stare at me.

 

My 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks have less than 100 miles on em. I just cruised home from work in 2wd no problems at all. Turned on the 4x4 just to use it for a few miles, didn't even need it.

 

Agreed, I just used 4x4 to exercise it more than anything. Not to mention try out the new switch. I had a couple people ask me how my Toyota handles in the snow. I said flawlessly. Love it when it snows.

 

Well I used my 4-wheel to get out of my parking spot. Don't know If I needed it but was sure nice to have.

 

Hey guys, here's a link to my sale thread, let me know if you're interested.

If anyone has, or knows of, a tonneau or cap for sale for a '17 shortbed let me know.

 

1"-3" tonight guys be safe. It's Heart Attack snow.

 

Hey all, just wondering if anyone lives in the city and owns a truck? I'm looking to buy a 2018 tacoma soon but would first love to hear some feedback or challenges regarding owning a truck in Chicago?

I figure parking garages might suck and street parking might be a challenge but I currently rent a place with a carport and intend to move to another place in the city with a garage/carport so that may not be too big of a deal.

 

I live in the city. No issues. I suggest a hard bed cover for securing items if you do so.

 

Inhave taken mine to the city or my daughter has,3" lift with 285's stuffed under it and she manages to find parking in parking decks no prob.

 

She actually like the truck, a lil taller to see than her car.

 

Thanks guys, good to hear. Getting pretty amped to buy my first truck

 

Would suggest getting anything other the B Truck plates for parking.

 

FireFighter plates are my recommendation. Have them for mine

 

Would plates like the specialty ones work the same for parking/driving around purposes?

 

driving yes Parking no, Some neighborhoods have funky laws which outlaw B Trucks form parking on the street.

 

Are you a firefighter? I guess anyone can get those plates. I have them too but I am in the profession.

 

I have family and friends that are.

 

Anyone can get them....which is kinda messed up (no offense) the extra money you pay though goes towards the firefighter memorial downstate so I ain’t complaining....

 

That was my motivation.
