Tacoma's in severe weather

They are the stock tires, but they were still pretty new at that time. They honestly did not do too bad. I have 33,xxx on them now and my BFG's will be here today in preparation for this winter.

^^^thats a sick truck man!

 

thanks

 

Are you 4wd? if so look into the yellow wire mod to give your truck lsd front and rear in 4lo

 

what is lsd? yeah my truck is 4x4

 

limited slip differential.

usually clutch style which transfers power to a spinning wheel to the other side. Ex. truck in snow, when you get stuck one tire will spin and the other side sits there worthless. with a lsd it will transfer power to the other side to keep you moving...

on 09+ tacomas they have TRAC and Auto lsd which uses brakes to transfer power rather than a clutch in the differential. Works like having lsd in the front and rear of the truck which = awesome traction

stock, TRAC is automatically turned off in 4lo but the yellow wire mod (link in my signature) will enable the trac system in 4lo and it works awesome in snow

 

Best pic I've got of my truck driving in the snow

 

No snow or anything, but everything that had water on the road the night before was frozen, the morning dew got frozen too.

Last winter.

 

this past January me and some friends rented a cabin up on a mountain in the mountains in NC. we werent really expecting snow, but we also didnt check the weather which we def should have. the closer we got to the cabin and to the top of the mountain the harder it snowed. had a friend following me in his jeep Cherokee. we passed the cabin on accident and had to turn around and go back down. as we got to the driveway i stopped to check the address and i looked up in my mirror and saw what looked like my buddy in his jeep pulling up behind me and off to the right (toward the edge of the mountain and probally a 50 foot drop). but he had a "OH SHIT!" face. i got out and walked back to check on him and the 2 passengers, turned out they hit ice and were slidding toward the edge of the drop off and he threw it in reverse and hit the gas to stop, probally a foot from going over. my truck made it half way up the steep ass driveway, hit ice under deep snow and slid backwards probally 20 feet. the next day we had some neighbors we found come help us and plow the driveway with 4 wheelers. this is the only pictures i have of the snow...

after i moved my truck the next day...


and the front deck where the hot tub was...


and looking out the upstairs window..notice throught the trees you can almost see the slope of the driveway. we all busted our asses multiple times walking up and down it because of the ice under the snow...




and a couple more from the trip...

 

So how did the cop let you go if you had no license Plates or registration?? Isn't that something you do before you leave the dealer? Also this thread is worthless without pics!! If there are no pics then it didn't happen! This thread will just turn into a, who can come up with the craziest story thread!!

Oh did I mention I drove across antarctica!!! On a motorcycle! But my camera broke and I don't have pictures!!

 

dont have to douche on him... his story is definitely plausible

driving over the rockies in a blizzard i bet the last thing on his mind was to stop and take pictures

 

Bonus points for pictures taken while driving from drivers seat in said severe weather.

Also that story about the blizzard is plausible, because I was with some friends years ago during a bad blizzard where the highway was closed. We went the 'old highway' (which ended up being many times worse) and found an onramp onto the real highway that was 'open' (but unplowed, which we found odd). Got onto the highway and drove alone until meeting a trooper at the end who was impressed we made it onto the highway and there without issue and said 'carry on!'

 

Holly shit i didnt know it snowed that deep over there, what is that like 15 feet high!

 

The Sierra Nevada Mountains in Central/Northern California are amongst the snowiest places in the United States.

 

I'm not an expert, But it may or may not have snowed.

 

All I got, till this winter..
