    Thank you!
    We met last year like 6 of us.
    Noremorse set it up where he works.
    It was cool we were in Essex jct pretty much out of sight.
    Be cool to go to Stowe, or something where we are out in the open. Maybe some tacomas driving by would stop. I know I would!
    There are some pics of us in my media page.

    I have another question for you folks. I have to drive from Northfield to Burlington at least once a month for my Reserve requirements. My Tacoma is only a 2wd base model. How many issues will I be facing during the winter weather? Any remedies? Or should I just look into a 4wd vehicle? Thanks again.

    Hey
    So a 4x4 would probably be better but.
    As long as you have good winter tires and some weight over your rear axle, you should be fine.
    Not sure about others but I try to not run 4wheel on bare pavement or at speed.
    But then again I wrecked this winter so what the hell do I know. First real wreck in 35+ yrs driving. I've got Bridgestone blizzacks on the wife's Subaru does awesome in the snow of course it's AWD. I put IPIKES on my boys BMW that was RWD and it did well, my daughters Jetta has had Nordmans with a IPIKES tread pattern and they did well also.
    Last year my son ran Blizzacks on his 04 mustang gt 302 v8 with a 5 speed standard and had no issues at all. Mostly city but we have some good hills and the plows can make it tough getting in the driveway.
    Also tube sand works well for weight I run 2 40lb bags over my axle, and if you need it for traction you have it. Mines under my tonneau stays dry doesn't freeze 3-5 bucks a bag I think.
    But most important is!!!!!
    THANK YOU!!
    For your service.

    So after the new leafs had been installed I did raise my front billies to 1.75.
    Not level but close enough, my coils may be weak @ 122k. Not sure about the leafs? I believe they are the new recall fix ones but my recall is still open for leafs. image.jpg

    Just keep it straight and out of the cabbage on 89. Your biggest problem you'll have is negotiating all the skiiers that come from the souther-regions ie. Massholes (MA)your snookies(NJ) and your coneheads(CT) and others, they invade VT every weekend during the winter. I keep mine in 2wd for the most part with the only weight on my bed being the snow that fell the night before, so it varies. 4wd keeps me from having my rear end kick out when im on the gas, but still wont fix going fast around a icy corner. Weight and slow will do you good. If you're just moving to VT, your biggest issue will most likely be getting out of your driveway after a dump of overnight snow.

    Looks slick. Been 210k on my front stock set up, excluding my coil spacer. and thinking of an upgrade as well. My spring is still strong but the shock seems to be tired. Thinking ext.Icons but they want both arms, one leg for a set.
