Canadian Build Thread

How do you like the KO2's in snow ?

 

They're not bad in the snow at all, but on ice and polished, packed snow they leave a bit to be desired compared to a dedicated winter tire.

Full disclosure though: I only have maybe 700km on them so far.

 

Thanks

 

You're welcome.

 

Only pic i have for now


Stock for now, i have a set of black sr8 16in in the basement patiently waiting for the snow to leave and im about to pull the trigger on the headstrong offroad group buy (5100 all arround, 885 coils, 1.5in aal) the only thing holding me back is the shipping and border fees that are killing me everytime i buy across the border. What i will probably end up doing is to ship to a store near the border and just drive across to pick it up.

 

Pretty stock so far. Going to lift it this summer.



Looks like us Valley guys like our grey tacos.

 

There he is!

I just put painted angry eyebrows on mine a few days ago. I like 'em!

A lot of grey Tacos here. Nice!

... and DCLB's are the way to go if you tow or work your truck. It's never too long, as the saying goes, "Cut it three times and it's still too fackin' short!"

 

Sunshine Coast, BC!!!!

The truck looks almost black in this photo, but it's another MGM beauty!!! It's a fairly stock 2011 DCLB, but then I've had it for less than 3 weeks.

Just a matter of time (and money)...

 

Another Canadian taco from Abbotsford, BC! Heres a pic from my last service road adventure. Nothing too exciting, but got to test out the new KO2's a little bit!

 

I got mine used and it was the only 6 speed on the lot and i hated the color. Over the last 2 years its grown on me so much I wouldnt go with any other color.

 

We are clearly a people of good taste! Haha.

I use my DCSB for work. Occasionally miss the long box on my 2007 AccessCab, but it was worth it for a proper transmission again!

I'd have bought another Speedway Blue if Toyota still offered it. My MGM is growing on me though.

 

Hey, Fuse....

Educate me, "What is a TRD Sport Premium ?"

 

I think the premium has the heated leather seats

 

TRD Sport with navigation, sms to speech, and heated leather seats.

there's also a Limited package that has a JBL sound system and more chrome.

 

Nova Scotian!

 

Saskquatch11 pretty much covered it.

Its a TRD Sport with leather, heated seats, navigation, and text-to-speech. Its missing the blingy wheels and the JBL package that comes with the "Limited". Also, no chrome. I freaking hate chrome.

Shame it doesn't have the full Entune features that the US Market gets (weather and other apps).

 

Then I must have the Semi-Premium, as I have the heated leather seats, I have to use an analogue (paper) $5 to $15 map/atlas to navigate, or worse, stop when I need directions and interact with other humans in the small towns that I drive through. I can't text when I drive, 'cause texting would be prudent, and I have to actually look out the freakin' windshield to see what the weather is like and to pay the fack attention where I'm going. I also have to use an iPod that doesn't require a subscription and that's loaded with all my favourite music to stay 'in-tune' for free; furthermore, I have to take the time to actually enjoy driving the truck.

Hmmmmm..... I think that I got screwed.

 

Wait a second...are we arguing about something? That was a hell of a trigger haha.

 

Good looking trucks in here! Love the LB's

 

No argument. Just kidding!

But, in retrospect, I probably should have had a D2 with nav installed. I really don't like the standard radio in my truck, as I can barely see the display during the day. I'm looking into an aftermarket replacement. Any suggestions?
