....holy cow, there are a TON of Toyota trucks here!! It's like they are the state truck or something

This is my third trip to Maui in the last 5 years and maybe I just didn't notice it earlier.

I've seen 5 first gen 4runners, 4 first gen pickups, about 20 second gen pickups and tons of Tacomas with 6-8 inch lifts.

Also, seems every truck is lifted here...and many sporting SUPER wide tires that stick out about 4-6 inches from the fenders....what's the idea there?

Anyway, as much as I love Toyotas, it's great to see so many, lifted, old Yotas around here

Is it a Maui thing? Hawaii thing?

 

i see pickups, 4 runners, tacomas like everytime i drive in my area. not many that are lifted, just stock

 

it's a Hawaii thing.


lift it a mile in the air..and put on like 33x14.50's on 18" wide wheels.

or 35 14.50's on 18" wide wheels.

it looks retarded..and serves no purpose.

 

Pics?

 

well, I've been driving and not snapping photos, but they look like this:









It's interesting, the comment about the big tires and lifts serving no purpose....aside from the rutty side roads here and there, the main highway circles the shore, and speeds don't get over 55 - it's mostly about 40 MPH with twisties, two lane traffic, etc....so "cruising" seems to be the main thing to do around here, unless you are going offroad

will try to get (real) pics, but no guarantees.


Any locals here who can weigh in?

 

It's a trend since there limited with space over there so car acgtivities seem to tak e adifferent direction over there and that middle pic of the white 4Runner looks simply stupid.

 

The wide tires stay on top of the sand much better. The locals always have places to drive on the beach, on oahu it was the north shore.

 

that trailblazer looks like one that was for sale in Florida...wonder if the guy had it shipped...

i can appreciate the work..but to me it seems like it is for looks...
this one is 2WD--l



i would love to go back to Maui--been too long

 

oc what is that like a lifted truck convention or something? lol thats all i see

 

... to much for not much...

good for you Pbert.
