Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Since I'm fairly new to the area, does anyone have any recommended places to go drive at? Off road or even scenic drives on normal paved roads! I wanna get some cool pics of my taco

 

Head west, just about any road. 1431, 71, 290, 29, get out toward Longhorn Cavern.

 

Pavement - go down 360 to the Colorado river and get pics down by the launch roads looking up at the bridge.

Decker lake by the boat launch with the power plant in the background.

Lady Bird lake by the old power plant.

Mount Bonnell.

Zilker Park.

McKinney Falls.

Someone else is going to have to recommend off-pavement locations, because my asphalt avenger hasn't seen dirt yet.

 

Been a few years 30 ish since I have been in Texas, but sitting here in Austin TX on the roof of The Market having a drink with WY wife and family. There are a lot of toco's here but not alot of Toyota's. Austin is ausome. My last visit was San Antonio TX.

Hey there @scleaf! Enjoying your visit to Austin?

I'd have to disagree with you about the Toyotas - there are plenty around here. They just may not be downtown at the moment, but in and around town there's Toyotas everywhere. Prii abound. Corollas all over the east side, Camrys on the west. Bunches in San Antonio too.

Go Air Force! You hanging out in Austin long?

 

I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE, I GOT ONE........


Oh wait, that was a requirement to join here I guess........

 

Just a few days, but I will keep my eye out for those Tacoma's.

Looks to be a nice day. Will be seeing this nice town and getting some good food later. I don't remember the humidity. But I was in San Antonio, sure it was humid there toi. This reminds me of DC humidity.

 

What a nice view!!!!!!!!

 

Humidity will go away. Cold front is coming in, so it's about to get real nice out there!

 

Yes it is real cool down town, It is refreshing to see green trees, haha, California has been is a drought for a few years now so we are real dry. I was just out in the desert a few weeks ago where I was able to take this pics.

 

my wife and I flew to Vegas last month and it was nothing but desert sand obviously.
Flying back home to Austin and seeing green trees was refreshing

 

Many people here in Texas buy my tailgate lock for the Tacoma, is there a theft issue downtown or just all around like in California?

 

You sell those?

 

I want to say theft issue is everywhere.

and if I can save my tailgate by buying a $4 clamp, adding $2 washer or a nicer lock like yours for a decent price, why not.

 

I like how it was looking like the sun was going burn off the clouds and then it turned dark in minutes and rained. This reminds me of when I was stationed in Dover Delaware out on the flight line.

 

Yes I started selling these this year after I filed a patent. Many TW members have bought these now many ebaiters and amazanians. They are listed in the Buy/Sell forum in 2nd gen.

These forums and people here really are cool and band together for the most part. Members have provided some great feedback which defined our improvements.

 

Awesome, im going to order one at some point. Would be cool if you had some i could snag one locally!!!

 

Have some sites to see, what are the must see's in Austin?

 

so did you bring some FREE samples for us

 

Stainless hose clamp, I'll hook you up.
