Saturday SNOW

I like the "auxilary lights" reference , because thats about what they are

they're not Hellas of course but they help considerably offroading, most my trail running isn't bombing down a sand wash at 70mph anyway (although thats fun) but they do throw a nice wide beam which I have aimed kinda low for trail illumination at night & they were cheap, $20 & change at Walmart....

 

I posted this last week in the Lighting forum on the new mods to my Tacoma off road lighting... The big difference is clear between stock high beams and the others...

Okay, back to my Tacoma and the modified light bar!







Easy to notice the difference in ligh color between the halogen (yellow-white ~3000ºK) and the HID (blue-white ~5,000ºK)








The blue switch is the HIDs and the red is the Halogens.


Later tonight...

STOCK TACOMA HIGH BEAMS:




ADD 7" HID EURO BEAM Kragens:




ADD 8" HELLA 4000 100 watt halogen Pencil Beams:

 

I was to lazy to download the pictures this weekend but I finally did it. I also went up to Mt. High on saturday. It was my first time driving in snow with the taco and I got to say it handled it pretty well. Sorry the pictures are large, I couldn't figure out how to downsize them.

 

Here's two more just to show how much it snowed. I would say about 1' - 1-1/2' of snow. This was early morning too it snowed about 4-6 more inches by the time I left.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nice Pics !!
Where was this John ? Big Bear ??

 

I was at Mountain High up in wrightwood.

 

Yeah you guys near the San Bernardino's & that great big fucker, San Giorgino (?) ele. is what, about 11,000-12,000 ft, that mountain really looks out of place to me, just looms over everything..

Anyway you get alot more up there than we get down here

 

we still have at least a foot on the ground...

maybe a good day for a snow run

 

John, I'm pretty sure I saw your Taco up there the other day.

 

Surprisingly , last I heard (last nights 11;00 pm news) there was between 2' & 3' on the ground still on Mt Palomar,Mt Laguna & Cuyamaca peak

but then again the days high has been about 40'f to mid 40's & more is on the way we're told....

 

More?! Says who?!

 

I dont know whats at elevation. ive got a foot in my yard in town... i love it!

 

Who do you think said it Derek?... My girl Crissy Russo, she absolutely nailed it last year almost to the time of day it started, & that was after that tired old *** I can't stand , John Coleman on ch 51, there were a few others that scoffed at the idea that snow was on the way (ahem, Derek, you too said it wouldn't snow) & if you remember I met her at a taco shop at lunch time & told her about TW & our run on Sat. & when I asked her about snow she said "Oh, oh yeah , it is def. going to snow & snow it did I know you remember that buddy !!!

 

You know Derek, this girl here....

She is absolutely stunning in person & a hell of a nice gal at that

 

I never think it'll snow up there.

 

No shit huh...

but it sure as hell did that saturday, flakes the size of quarters....

 

I'm sure you did. Me and thw wife were putting around town and by the ski resort. It was our first time up there.
