02-20-11 Snow Run with RelentlessTaco and All.On.Black (lots of pictures)

Great pics! Awesome trucks!

 

x20 nice Pics! I have always kept it in 4hi in the snow, but I am usually going up to the mountain, or down the dirt driveway at home, so theres a hard surface underneath. somewhere.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

If there's a hard surface underneath the snow then 4HI works best. If you're plowing through deep snow then I prefer 4LO.

 

Thanks man. We had a blast.

 

I live in farm country and most guys HATE "jap trucks" but ill be a sonuva bitch if you guys didnt own the snow and pull out three other people one of which shouldnt be there and two of which the typical dude around my neck of the woods would choose over a taco any day. you sirs, represent tacos with style and awesomeness.

 

Thanks. I've pulled out more domestic trucks than any other kind. Most of the Toyotas I've run across don't have as much of a problem in the snow since they're much lighter and don't sink down to the frame. This season I've pulled more Subarus than anything though. I guess they really love to test out that awd but fail to realize that they can't get too far because of clearance.

On a side note, I did another run this past weekend where I got stuck twice pretty bad. I don't have any pictures but the first time I got stuck in about 3.5 feet of snow while breaking trail. My friend was going to pull me out but he was stuck as well. I shoveled my self out and tried to pull him out. While I was repositioning I slid off into a ditch and my truck was buried in about 5 feet of snow. I had to get out through the passenger's side. Let just say we were there for a good couple hours digging. I managed to get out under my own power after I dug out a little bit. I wish I had pictures but I was busy trying to get out.

 

looks fun! badass tacos!!

 

awesome pics

 

3300 is around the elevation where i live, i know near mount mitchell ,NC it is like around 6500 ft!!!

 

First pic is a nice one, and what headlights are you guys running?

 

Amazing pics guys, not so much for the photography aspect (though it was nice enough) but that it really made it look like a fun adventure.

One question, how the heck did you get 35" tires under a 3" lift? That looks like more than 3" to me, but I'm no expert. I will be running 33x10 (255/85/16) as it seems that is all that will work with 3" lift without rubbing.

 

Hey man if your just worried about trimming its not as hard as people make it sound. I have 285/75/16 tires and I just got a dremel tool and it took me like 2 minutes and no more rubbing.

 

Thank you. The headlights were made by me. They are projectors out of an Acura TL retrofitted into the stock headlights and painted.

Thanks. Most of the day was a quick get out the truck and snap some pictures then be on our way.

Eric (RelentlessTaco) is running 3.25" or so of lift and I have about 3" of lift maybe a little less. I'd have to measure but I'm not running any more than 3". The reason it looks higher is because our fender/flares are cut 2" higher to fit the 35's.

35's aren't going to fit with just a little trimming. Requires a lot of trimming. You can make them fit at driving height but if you plan on stuffing them then they'll rub everywhere.

 

The trimming pics to fit our 35's, for those interested:
