Using 4hi on steep driveway?

Why not just have the driveway surface grinded(ground?) to make it more grippy?

 

You should just air down to 20psi then gun it!

 

Nah - sandblasting would be more effective and less costly.

 

4HI, pull straight out, back to 2HI before you turn.

Looks like North Morro Bay? Judging from your profile location and the background in your picture? If I got that right, I gotta say WTH were they thinking when they built that place?! (That part of town, not necessarily the house)

 

UPDATE: That did the trick

 

Lol, it's Hayward

 

Lol

Had to take a crack at it!

Probably steeper than it looks anyway.

 

You can literally use 4hi/4low on pavement all you want. It will not hurt the truck, and if it somehow breaks on the street in 4wd, why the heck would you trust it offroad when you're binding things up 10x worse?

 

Awesome! Yeah that TC is super aggressive.

I win the internet today?

 

What?

When you are off-road, it allows slippage, thus not binding the axles.

When you are on pavement, that’s when driveline binding occurs.

 

Moab proves thats false lol. The tires will just chirp on pavement before anything breaks.

 

push the gas pedal down. Be your master and pedal commander. the day a tacoma needs low range for 20% paved grade is a very sad day indeed.

 

Hm, you got a point there.

 

Yeah when you're aired down, lockers on, bouncing around, binding tires up, putting all the weight on one tire or another, flooring it, having tires instantly stop and start spinning, way more stress than a road. Never understood why people are scared to have 4wd on the road, yes the manual says not too, but that's so Toyota doesn't have to deal with people when they call and say that their 4wd doesnt act as nice as their Awd car haha.
