SNOW BOUND: Possible 1st time snow driving. Visiting Beech Mountain in early November

Big props to you and your Killboy photos! Usually when a 4 wheel vehicle is photographed there, at least one of it's tires are creeping over the double yellow! As a sportbiker that has ridden that road dozens of times I express my thanks!

 

Thank You jethro!
It's funny that you mentioned the yellow lines because it was one of the first things I was looking for in the pics. I wanted to make sure that I didn't cross the lines. I've never driven a road like that before & I was driving it pretty quick, for a truck. I have a friend that rides & he's told me some crazy stories.

I was also concerned that a semi might be coming around the corner as I was driving

Happy & safe riding jethro!

 

Just spacer and block. I don't off-road in my Taco. Only time I use 4x4 is snow in the NC mountains. I can't tell a difference from stock to now, rides the exact same. I wouldn't mind a nice suspension lift but I just wouldn't use it like it's intended for. Maybe one day

 

Well, it looks great! If the spacer & block work for you then leave it be. You're right, it does preserve ride quality & as long as it fits your needs then you are good.


Speaking of Spacer Lifts:
I saw this BEAUTIFUL 4 Runner at Jim Barkley Toyota in Asheville. I can't believe how much better priced the new cars/trucks are there compared to Miami.

You can barely find 4WD Tacomas & 4 Runners down here & when you do they are pricey. I can tell you that this 4 Runner, if it were for sale in Miami, would cost $8,000 to $10,000 more, easily. Bone stock also, this one has a Toytec spacer lift & 285/70r17 BFG A/T's.

I think I'll fly up to this dealership for my next purchase & drive it back home!

 

I bought my taco there...an hour from the house. Just be careful of the $350 floor mats. They even gave me a decent trade on the Ram 1500 pickup I traded for it.

Good info Howard. Thank You! Glad to know that you got a good deal.

For $350, they can keep their matts. I can buy a set of Weathertechs (what I have in my Tacoma now) for 1/2 that.

 

Hey, Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!!

 

Merry Christmas to you & your family also!
