MARYLAND TACOMAS

I can't make that but will definitely come down another time to check it out!

A few more weeks until I open the thread. I finally found a local to me member who's willing to let me test fit.

 

I'm right over the border from you, all you had to do was ask...I am excited to see how it worked out, hopefully it wasn't too much of a challenge.

 

You have PM...

Depends on how well my Birthday night goes...afternoon should work...

 

I am in for the 25th pending that I get the truck fixed

 

Saw a speedway blue sport this AM with Maryland TRD stickers this AM about 7:45 heading west on 32 between 175 and main gate to Ft Meade. Just wondering who it was.

 

That would be me

 

Awesome! The first sighting! pretty sweet!

 

Now you know who it is so you can cut me off now and not feel bad

 

Cut someone off on REt 32? LOL

Drove on Rt 32 from the B&W to 95 for over 12 years. Saw a lot of weird chit in that time.

 

Almost got clobbered by a old Ford Ranger that was sporting a speedway blue like color yesterday. I was hanging out in the far right lane and this a-hole in a regular cab late 90s nicely kept blue Ford Ranger (with a hard topper) was right next to me, and then he just started to merge into my lane, no reason that I could see, I moved over thinking he was just swaying into my lane a little bit and would move right back, but there was no shoulder and he kept coming over, I honked and started to cover the brake, and he kept coming over, then I braked to get out of his way and continued to honk hoping he would figure out that I was there, and nothing, I braked and he came over, no turn signal and just sat in front of me... About a mile down the road I pulled up next to him, praying he wouldn't try this all over again, looked over and he through his hands in the air and looked at me like he was confused... I didn't give him any gestures, just drove off. Figured I didn't have to make it worse, but it pisses me off that he didn't see me, didn't hear my horn, and didn't even acknowledge that he had cut me off. Almost wish I has just let him slam into the side of me.

Oh this was in southern MD, going north on 235 between gates 2 and 1 for PAX River NAS.

 

same thing has happened to me between gates at pax on a regular basis. pisses me off to no end how people just zone out after work and don't pay attention driving. really pisses me off when i'm on the harley or R6 and they nearly kill me. I'll keep an eye out for that blue ranger though and steer clear

 

i could do the 25th!

 

I hate that!!!

One of the top reasons to get sliders... Besides off road protection they are invaluable agains idiot drivers!

I'm to the point now where I say jus go ahead & hit me...

Glad the DB didn't take you out.

 

BC of RT32 I am thinking about getting steel plate bumpers.... Plus I go down to DC at least twice a week.

 

I used to hate driving to dc, now i could care less. Definitely a bonus for having steel bumpers

 

Thats what I was thinking... You see that behind you and you get the hell out of the way lol

 

Yeah, the drive out of PAX NAS is terrible, I live 7 miles from gate 1 and it can take me 45 mins+ to get home some days, I average 30 mins, and today I was really lucky and left a little late and got home in 15 mins (a record).

Sad part was, the blue Ranger drifted into my lane around 10 am, I was going to get my tired balanced before the lunch rush to the mechanic, there were minimal people on the road compared to typical 235 at peak times.

I think I am going to use this as justification to my wife to get sliders...


I drove a full size car before my Tacoma, a Pontiac G6, and had that for 3+ years, and I have only had my Tacoma for about 6 months and I have almost gotten hit more in the Tacoma than in the G6 for the 3 years I had that. My Tacoma is bigger and lifts and I don't know how people keep not seeing me.



Back onto the topic of wheeling... Is there anyplace within an hour of Southern MD? Would like to go someplace, nothing challenging, just some dirt and only have to worry about trees merging into my lane... I figure the closest thing is going to be somewhere in Virginia.

On a side note to wheeling in SoMD, anyone ever do any wheeling in NJ, I go up there more often than I like to see family, and I am always looking for something to do.

 

Hit up the NJ Tacos thread...
They hit Wharton often on weekends.
