    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Finally home. We got over a foot of Christmas snow and temps in the 20s, pretty good for sea-level Portland, OR.

    My 07 Taco sitting in the driveway all chained up and ready to play.

    You managed to get chains on the front wheels? :confused: Last I heard Toyota said not to chain the front wheels due to clearance issues between the UCA and tire. Gap is too small in stock form, let alone with a lift or chains.

    Have you used them and checked for rubbing? If you don't have any problems do you mind telling us what kind of chains those are? Maybe a part number too? :D

    Seeing as this thread is called "Tacomas in snow" I believe that my Tacoma is "in" snow. Needless to say we've gotten a lot of snow here in South East corner of Washington. I think my Tacoma looks more like a Mac Truck in this pic:)

    In that first picture, where are you that it's so open and flat? Is it just a huge field, snow covered lake or what? Or is Iceland really just that flat? :)

    I guess it only snows once a year, and in March around here. These are from this morning.

    I was hoping to get out and put the truck in places that weren't as lame as my driveway, but it was dangerously nasty on the road ways (not snowy, not icy, but something in between), then everything started to melt. Oh well... maybe next March.

    I got a cool picture of the badge, though.
