First time I've had the Lariat in the snow since picking her up in March of this year. I figured this 06 would handle just as good as the last 06. Definitely did not disappoint considering I went budget style on the suspension. The RCX did its job perfectly. There wasn't a lot of snow, about 12 inches or more. Got as far as Poker Flat in the Klamath National Forest. Here a a few pictures of the Flat and my Lariat. Was pretty cold and temp was dropping as the sun fell.

Enjoy:









its been awhile since I have posted anything new and updated. Took these today. About as updated as it gets. Really wish I had more to show....

Anyhow, as usual thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Cheers

Looks like fun! What tires are those?

 

Thanks Toyz,

Tires are 35" Toyo AT II's. They handled the snow very well. Pretty aggressive for an AT compared to its sibling MT. I would say a perfect all around truck tire.

Truck looks good! I love the lift and offset, everything ties in very nice!

 

Good pics. Love those tires. I never had an issue pulling through 3-4 feet of powder a few weeks back. Are those the extremes?

 

Thank you very much Darren.

I've got a list building that will transform the truck a bit. Full rear leaf packs, most likely the Skyjacker 6" leaf packs will do, and Bilsteins front and rear are the first on the list.

I find myself continuing to be impressed with the durability and quality of the RCX suspension so the only upgrade I can think of is eliminating the spacer as a visual blemish as well as the lift block in the rear. Although the design of the RCX lift block really is something else... and it really does eliminate axle wrap.

I honestly do not know? Would it be written on the side? I got these some time in March/April of this year. All I know is they are the redesign of the first Toyo AT. One thing is for certain, as long as these are available I will be running them. As much as I like the look of the MT's these did equally as well for what I'm running them for. For an AT they look pretty meaty too!

 

Wow sharp. What's your off set. And what kit did you use from. rcx?

 

If I ever decide to lift, RCX may be the winner.

 

Thanks 07massHD

Offset of the wheels are 5.0. Yes the suspension is an RCX. I have had it installed for nearly a year and have zero complaints. Does what I need it to.


If 6" is as high as you'll every want to go the RCX is a great choice. I highly recommend them. Quality with a budget in mind.

 

Nice -- love pictures of trucks in snow.....

 

nice pictures

 

Thanks ddellwo and camopaint! Being in the snow is one of my top 5 favorite things!

 

I'd take some pics of my Lariat in the snow, but the 2-3" of snow we got a few days back just doesn't seem as impressive, lol. That, and the snow is no longer here.

 

Love the truck and the pics! We don't get snow like that here in Ky.

 

I've been living in the North Bay for so long I nearly forgot what it was like being in the snow. When I grew up back at home this time a year there was considerable amounts of snow. I have pictures of my family infront of snow drifts on top of what I call "the pass" that cuts over into Oregon where it was at least 15 feet. Its been a very long time since its snowed like that though.


I may be biased, but you have a fine looking 07 yourself!
