Took first trip to Tahoe in the 4Runner, not knowing that there was a snow storm that shut down hwy 80 for hours. Also my first time driving in the snow:driving:FUN! Watched a couple people slide into snowbanks and pulled a few out, to include dragging a 2wd Taco a mile down some back road that got dumped on. I couldn't see 5ft in front, pretty awesome first snow drive. Did some sledding in the McDonalds Parking lot while we waited. I'm waiting on Santa to bring me snow boarding gear! Not a bad place to be stuck. We were about to call it quits and spend the night in Truckee but saw that the road was clear and drove back down to the rain.

Love snow wheeling! Tell us more about your 4Runner. What size shoes you running? I like the overall stance of your rig!
Edit: saw your sig line. They look bigger than 33's. Also stated is the wheels are painted? Looks like raw aluminum to me?

Great pics, looks like you've been having lots of fun!
 
HEY! That looks awesome. You weren't kidding when you said it was crazy up there.
 
Off topic - what wheels are those? They look great!

Jon will probably chime in but those are 35 pitbulls IIRC
 
Sorry guys, I tried editing the sig line but it doesn't change. They're 35x12.50 R17 Pitbull Rockers on 17x8 MB Predators (discontinued).
Not Tahoe but nearby Sly Park

Down to 8psi, later I dropped to 6psi. You can feel the difference!

Hey... that orange cruiser is sexy. :) Good pictures! That was pretty fun day.. would have been better if my driveline would have stayed attached the whole time.

Glad you made it out with us, we'll have to do it again soon.
