60+ year old thread.

Good morning. What is everyone doing to be able to put chains on the front? We have a cabin in the mountains of New Mexico and I have to chain all 4s to get to it during the winter or summer if it’s been raining. Not enough clearance on the front of my 2013 sport. Just got it before Christmas and love it but if I can’t chain all 4s it has to stay home during the winter. It’s not happy about it. Ha! I’ve read good and bad about spacers.

Yes Sir, it's often too late when you realize the truck needs 'em. Same is true of the locker, if you wait 'til stuck, before engaging the locker, it might or might not get you unstuck.
I find I rarely use the locker...ATRAC is a very impressive system.

Get my second Monday, hoping I get the same "no side effects" results as you.

Today Cool Old Dudes, "I wannabe like Mike."

Smaller tires...I'm running dedicated Winter Blizzaks size 245/75/R16.

 

I am running with LT265 /70 R16 BFG All Terrain T/A KO2's, stock size. I do like the over size KO2's but I know what I am in for up here so looks took back seat to function. The Tacoma Sport is the only Taco that comes with 17 inch rims. KWB17 you might be able to go with a slightly smaller profile to get the chains on the front?

 

News flash, I-25 and the state and county highways from north Colorado Springs to Denver are closed. High winds and constant snow falling is adding up and playing havoc on the roads. It is still snowing here and the winds have picked up a lot the last two hours.

 

Got the tailgate lock installed. Taking a break, waiting for meds to kick in before finishing up the lawnmower repairs.

Spotted this on reddit. I feel sorry for the kid who got his Tacoma to play turtle.

Sadly I've done the same but in my old Pro Rally cars. A fellow rally driver's mother managed to flip her Corolla over on its side. She was fine, but couldn't climb out. Sadly there was a photographer who captured the moment. Made the first page so we used to tease Tim "you drive like your Mom". He's retired early, travels the world. At least when I rolled, no one captured the moment. I loved one of the questions I had with my doctor when going through Parkinson's questions: "have you ever had a blow to your head?" Uh, yes but I can not remember them all. "Let's mark that as a yes".

I have to admit, it's a pretty spot. Pilot Rock, San Bernadino Mountains.

 

I drank it black and strong (trucker coffee) we call it down here. It is really good. Just the smell of good coffee first thing in the morning makes the whole day better.

Heart Doc said I can only have 1 cup a day.
So I make it a good one. We don't drink smoke or take anything the doctor don't prescribe.
Spending money on the few things we do enjoy just don't seem to be a big deal


Sorry to about all you frozen folks. Wed or Thurs we will get first 90 degree day of the year.
Bike week is packed & spring break will overload next week .
I stay home till the wet tshirt contest start.

 

I'm on caffeine restriction so I buy decaf cappaccino... and then mix in a little extra decaf coffee so it tastes better.

 

Be safe Mike. Time to stay inside and hunker down by a fire with the dogs, a good book and hot coffee.

 

My crocus are in full bloom.

 

My sympathies for your loss Driver.

Sir, not to dig or violate your privacy, but pray tell how does one avoid such a catastrophe?

 

I like to think my atrial fibrilation was caused by me carrying my cell phone in the pocket over my heart. My doctor laughed... but his ablation treatments didn't work as he claimed, either. In any case I've quit carrying the phone over my chest and I'm having less problem... and who knows, maybe avoiding caffeine helped.

 

Welcome to the club

 

Ouch, sorry. Glad you're recovering well. I guess I could let it go for that, still yet you have my sympathies

Respect
Rob

 

No need for sympathies. I like where I am...

 

The A-fib club... LOL, those doctors... Next year it will be something else they make popular.

 

Yeah, not a club I want to be in.... one of the benefits of making it in to this group

 

I got nothing, except maybe self-medicating out on the mountain is my best move.

 

I like to self medicate occasionally... Not like I used to...

On a mountain is better than most places.

 

None of us do...

What I actually mean is how much of this stuff doctors prescribe, treatment or medication, is just part of the medical pharmaceutical complex fleecing the sheeple.

I'll put on my and go sit on the steps.
