Long Island, NY Tacos

guessing a 2g then

 

you dont count here with that boost lol

 

from what ive always thought 4low was only when you were stuck or pulling some one stuck out, never used to to just drive on snow/sand or any off roading

 

if you get stuck in 4lo, without self recovery gear, you pretty much shit out of luck

you get stuck solo on 4hi, without self recovery gear, you know you at least have 4lo to give it a shot before throwing in the towel and hanging yourself

 

and then my locker and then crawl control

 

i crawl on the beach in 4lo just to work out the locker for a couple miles
i also find the ride much smoother while using a trac (although the added heat on the brakes makes me not use this option too often)


4hi & locker would be nice, maybe in the future with some extra parts from marlin

 

Well I mean, I won't be cruising around in boost! Shinnecock I find having to use 4Lo is almost mandatory once you get out there. Smith's you can easily do 4Hi unless you go to the end of the day area where it's more fresh sand than travel lanes. Starting out on the sand is a pain in the ass with the new clutch in!

 

Any other tips for driving in the sand? Already have a snatch strap and tow hitch shackle

 

yea plus with the tides that we get here the conditions change dramatically season to season if not week to week sometimes

if you air down properly you greatly greatly decrease the chances of getting stuck and airing down after you are stuck doesn't do shit, simply too little too late at that point with some of the soft sand we have here

you can easily burn a quarter tank of gas running back and forth a couple times at smiths point so I tend to like at least half a tank of gas...

I have come across people using gas tanks out there so it does happen...

sun reflector for the windshield is nice also if you plan on being parked for extended periods of time.

maybe an extra shackle or two, chances are you will be pulling someone else who got stuck before your taco hits the SOS button located in the glove box

 

Forgot to mention I do have a portable compressor that hooks up to the battery and extra shackles.

 

Got a jack and a board to put it on if you ever need it?

 

I normally carry:

• Fire extinguisher
• Tow straps
• Jack
• Jack board
• 50' air hose
• Collapsible Shovel
• Emergency toolkit (10-14mm sockets, hose clamps, JB Weld, Screwdrivers, little bit of primary wire)
• Coolant

It all fits in a small tote, so whenever I go to the beach, I just toss it in the bed.

 

here is the list that is posted on the suffolk county parks department page
http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/Parks/ThingsToDo/OuterBeachAccess.aspx
Required Equipment for Outer Beach Off-Roading
Jack
Jackboard
Shovel
Rope, Chain or Snap Line
Fire Extinguisher
Spare Tire
Tire Gauge
Flashlight
First Aid Kit
Portable Air compressor or Air Tank



I usually have an extra couple bottles of water as well, people easily get dehydrated and like everything else as far as emergency gear and recovery gear goes chances are the gear you carry will be for helping someone else who is in need that was not properly prepared...

 

anyone local interested in a set of 285/75r17 mint cooper discoverer at/3 tires? about 34x11

really nice all terrain just too big for me getting my 265/70s on today

 

If anyone here is like me and has been running the trd exhaust with the mudflaps removed, you have probably suffered from some sort of tar & paint from road work and or hard water stains and oxidation from the elements on your exhaust tip.

well give this stuff a try because





That spring cleaning fever has hit strong around here...

 

anyone here? i think owner may be an employee at smithtown toyota.

 

odd seeing a Taco with a snorkel with no other mods like lightbars or an aftermarket front bumper

 

it has some sort of lift and tire package but i did not peak under her panties. i think people put too many lights on these days.

and funny enough, I feel like it may have had a light bar inside the lower cut out on the factory bumper, the picture cuts it out if i am not mistaken

 

same truck, confirmed light bar hah



truck stalking

 

feel like he needs a nice aftermarket bumper, still looks odd
