Driving in the wind!!

I bought the $25 add a leaf set from autozone and put them on backwards as per the instructions and this helped the wind issues a lot. I still get pushed around on really windy days but nothing like before. also run about 36 to 38 psi in the tires

 

lol a pirate ship!

 

You have no idea until you hit Wyoming during snow drifts of 60-70 mph. I almost lost it twice. Going sideways down the snow packed (ice) freeway. I wasn't even going that fast thank god. Watching semi's thinking their hot shit pass me, only to see them on their side in the ditch 2 miles down the road. I was VERY lucky that day, and quite scared to be honest.

 

^^ Hehe that's something we are well aware of up here.

 

that was the point I was making, I feel the Tacoma is much worse...

I just downsized from a 08 Crewmax Tundra, and my wife had a Ford Explorer, I previously had a Grand Cherokee and before that an F-150...All of the above felt much more stabil on the Highway in the wind...The other day in my taco was liek nothign i had ever experienced. i completely felt liek i had to fight teh truck the whole way to work.

 

^ it is the weak suspension causing this, you need to tighten up the suspension. I've read that the rear leaf tsb helps with wind issues.. in fact , I put the $25 autozone helper leafs on the truck because I read that doing that is similar to the tsb ride

 

I know what you mean. I drove the Alkan hwy lasy month. When I got to the Yukon, the wind literally blew me out of control. My tuck spun a 360 and I almost slide off the side of the road. Ice and Wind=dangerous in a Taco. I just drove slow and made it to Alaska.

 

Yup, it bothered me even more because Wyoming is such a boring state to drive through and I was anxious to get the drive back to OR over with!
