For those of you who have lifted Tacoma's,

how do you handle situations where you are at a drive thru ATM, drive thru fast food, drive thru pharmacy, apartment complex or neighborhood with key code gate access, etc.?

Please avoid providing answers such as parking elsewhere and just getting out. This question is implying that getting out is not an option because often times I've experienced that drive thru's are very narrow and there is no room to get out or open a door.

I am almost inclined to purchase those dinosaur grabby things that we used to have as a kid back in the day to grab things or a back-scratcher to poke things

 

Bro...

 

How much lift do you have?

 

You must be talking about like 20" of lift

 

I remember my first truck..

 

This is a concern to me too.
A lot of times for work I park at the same underground as its the cheapest in the area @ $11 a day.
I have noticed all fullsizes JUST fit in there, so wonder what will happen once I lift and fit bigger tires.
I believe its 197cm to fit

Here in the city a lot of undergrounds are tight for height.
3" lift with 32.5" tires roughly maybe 33s

 

My 14' Tacoma with a 3" lift and 285/70/17 ko2s is shorter than my stock limited tundra.

 

I've never had a problem being lifted. Most full size trucks with leveling kits seem to be the same height as a Tacoma with mild lift. ATMs are just fine and drive through are perfect height.

 

I've never had an issue anywhere with my truck lifted.

3" and 285's.

I believe you're over thinking things here.

 

Maybe he's thinking about this type of lift.... a bro lift:

For that he's going to need one of these:

 

Roll the window down and extend you arm out?

 

I reread your post before I made this comment! First let me tell you where I am comming from, I traded a 2001 Ford F250 super duty with 2" lift and 35" tires so I know alot about tight spaces and Oh Shits! You are the one that lifted your truck that makes it hard for you to go into under ground parking, drive-ups or anything else! I could fit into my banks drive-up space but would have to lean half way out my window to reach the teller drawer. My advise to you, make it an option to get out of your truck and walk up to the atm, fast food drive-up, bank drive-up window, parking lot or lower your truck enough that you can fit into these places because I guarantee those businesses are not going to change just for you!

 

The old man has a point!

 

I measured my little garage before I bought the truck and before I lifted it. No one can answer these dumb questions for you.

 

From a mathematical standpoint, you could measure your stock trucks height, add 2" since 3rd gen is higher and wont get full 3" lift. Then take the differnece in tire diameter and cut in half.

Example!( my truck is 6' = 72"+ 2"(lift kit) = 74", tires are 3" bigger in diameter over stock (3/2)=1.5" more ground clearance. For a total of 75.5" of height overall. 75.5"= 191.77cm

 

To go with the example, numbers are slightly off but you get the point (op)

 

Hey OP - there's always the option of PARKING and WALKING ... it's actually healthy for you...

 

Crazy talk
