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

Theres a spot pretty close to you called bull creek, its a fun time during those hot days.

 

You people need to stop hating, the 6" spacer is just fine for the drop bracket!

I am looking for coils down the road, but they are nowhere near affordable!

 

Well, at least he isn't chewing through CV's every other day!

 

What's this "you people"?

 

Welcome to town! I don't know a ton of stuff in your area, as I'm a South East Austin guy myself, but I do know that the Hill of Life trail entrance to the greenbelt isn't far from you for some mountain biking or hiking. There are also some small falls at the end of the Hill to cool off in. It's right off 360 and it's certainly something you could bring your dog to as well.

Fair warning, it's an intense hill.

There are tons of breweries- Jester King is one of my personal favorites, and there are a few up north (Adelbert's is the first the comes to mind) that are great too.

Hidden falls is the closest off-road trail that I know of, out near @Texoma. There's also the big Texas Toyota jamboree in May that you should sign up for!

 

Also austin is super super dog friendly, I think theres like a dog friendly bar around here somewhere... Also theres countless dog parks, try going to Zilker Park, or the jogging trails on the lake downtown have a dog park, I think blues on the green is coming up soon. Not to mention almost every restaraunt that has a patio is dog friendly. As far as wheeling goes check out Hidden Falls Adventure park.

 

if you haven't enjoyed a nice "firemans 4" yet your missing out, great local brew is what the beer drinkers tell me.

 

Hate? Hell, that shit terrifies me. Spacers are what it's all about up here and I've seen some seriously sketchy shit.

 

You people as in you people hating on a 6" spacer

 

I agree with you (mostly), but on the dropbracket lifts it's a different story. The spacer basically brings it all back to factory specs.

They make the extended struts, but the are an arm and a leg.

I will do it at one point when the budget allows it!

 

Here I was thinking @Spansfelder was expo AF with some kind of 6 inch coilover lift, the only reason I never looked in his wheel well to see what hes running was because he wheels his rig so I figured it was something legit... Usually bubba and leeroy with their lifted silverado's on spacers dont wheel them... trickery is afoot.

 

I think we should get together and do a group buy for some kind of sticker, I'm thinking something that says "CenTexTacoma's" or "CenTexToyota" to go along/near our "tacomaworld.com" stickers.

 

@ChadsPride hook this guy up with a Coalition sticker.

 

There's a coalition? Do we have to sign treaties or anything?

 

I would like to know more as well.

 

Fuck. That movie blows chunks. The book however is outstanding - used to teach lessons in military leadership out of it.

It's common reading in many military leadership schools.

A treatise on leadership, personal responsibility, and civic duty disguised as science fiction.

I am a citizen!

 

Left side of the box. @ChadsPride hooked it up.

 

We read allot of his stuff in leadership school. That and Guderian's "Actung! Panzers!"

 

I wish I could like this post more than once!

Yes @CaptAmerica the movie is awful but that is what makes it great!
