Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Ok, now I know this will probably get me to the top of the nominations list, but too cool not to share. I have no use for this, but it's fascinating to see what Toyota came up with in foreign markets:

I want snow.... Love driving in it.

Problem is we either get less than half an inch which causes messy chaos because people are idiots, or we get ice, which causes messy chaos because people are idiots.

I'll gladly take a solid 2-3 ft over everything. Make the roads hard pack. Drive with mattracks

 

Hang around with @Supr4Lo long enough and you will...

 

I might have a small a fetish for recovery gear along with getting recovered.

 

Do you do underwater recoveries? Asking for a friend....

 

So, looking around the site last night, I saw something: https://topperezlift.com/index.php/product/topperlift-kit-with-weekender-camper-package/



Tell me why I don't want. Remember, need has nothing to do with anything.

 

They are pretty sweet if they fit your style of camping. Some good videos about it out there, this is the first one I saw a while back:

You could also ask her for some help doing the install:

Might be interested in that in a couple of years... Looks nice.

 

Only thing that concerns me is that it could be very hot in the summer...

 

It’s hot during the summer no matter what you camp in lol

 

Only downfall is how much stuff you have (if you’ve gotta move it every night to goto sleep) and dust mitigation (having your bedding covered in dirt would be a bad time)

 

Just like any tent could, I guess.

An RTT is probably cheaper but I don't have mounting capability on my cap without drilling holes.

Have been thinking I'd just bring a tent and have the bed of the truck as backup in case tenting isn't ideal.

This setup is intriguing though.

 

Yea... that is true.

 

Still a Ridgline....

You need a garage... My Taco sits in the garage all winter and seldom if ever gets driven. The dailies are two CR-V's and they live outside. This is the order of the universe!

 

Lucky!!!!
We got 1/2" here, and it was just wet and slushy. I left it in 2wd, as usual.
