Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Just part of a Missouri off road club I used to wheel with. I quit wheeling with them cause they're mostly based in St. Louis and very rarely came over to the KC side. Not very many members on the KC side of that club.

 

in midwest krawlers we have a few nissans one frontier on 37s and a xterra on 35s then a couple stock ones cool guys

 

Just in case I decide to drive to work tomorrow with bad steering.

 

is it really suppose to be that bad? i heard nothing about this storm until i got to work

 

Dozens of crashes reported due to ice. I saw a small box truck ran off the road by my work and there was an accident on the bridge just before my house. I personally felt no slickness, but I'm a boss.

They are reporting ice and snow from 8pm tonight to 2pm tomorrow.

/e: News reported 3 killed in the icy crashes so far.

 

wait today that has happened?

 

Yep.

I guess it's pretty slick out in some areas and will be getting pretty bad tonight.

Forgot to bring in my dash cam memory card to get the box truck wreck.

 

oh joy gotta figure out if i wanna leave sooner or tough it out and stay all night

dang looks like he hit it good

 

I posted a link to KMBC below the pic.

School bus overturn at apt complex.

 

I wouldn't worry too much, it's not bad out now and I don't think it's supposed to start raining again until early morning. Been seeing salt trucks all day.

 

That bus came in waaaaay too hot. If I were a parent I'd be pretty pissed lol. At my mom's house in Wisconsin the school bus slides into her yard pretty often on icy days

 

Yeah, that driver wasn't smart.

The rain is predicted 8pm tonight to 2pm tomorrow. There have been a lot of accidents and 3 deaths reported already. Exercise caution.

 

I'm seeing rain at 11. I think he'll be fine, that's what tacos are for. Made Josh stay home so we could use his so I could get to an important appointment today, totally coulda taken the bald tire rolla.

 

lol, exercise caution regardless of your confidence.

Taco, jeep, bus, they all slide. It's more driver skill than vehicle when it comes to ice.

 

We were in the bus. No problems, even out here in BFE. I again agree with Derrick, all about the driver...

 

Well yeah, don't go 70 down the highway and ride peoples asses, fly around corners and slam your brakes haha.

Trust me though, Driving a Tacoma with recovery equipment, working heat, full cabin airbags, 4wd, etc is much less scary than driving a front wheel drive, less than 1 ton car without a working driver side airbag and thinning tires lmao. That's all I mean.

They already canceled school for Blue Springs for tomorrow because kids were slipping on the ice walking to school this morning.

Anyways, if you don't feel confident driving in ice then it's really up to you. Don't want to be a danger to yourself and others if you're not well versed in winter weather driving.

 

its already iced out in my town which is odd my dad called and told me

and i agree to fast for a apt complex

 

you can have all the skill you want but unless you have studded tires i wouldnt try driving on solid ice my road was solid ice last night and had to go in from a different road so i could go in the grass. was just straight ice couldnt grab traction in 4x4
