    I was actually out at Hidden Falls 3 weeks ago on the razors. Fun place. May go back out in the truck one day soon.

    Any recommendations on light off roading nearby?

    The other guys will have to fill you in on this. My '11 Taco stays pretty clean and my '77 FJ40 even cleaner.

    Mountain bike trails?

    Brushy Creek Trail is relatively close to you. http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/14-austin-voodoo/91060-brushy-creek-regional-singletrack.html

    Cycling (no drop, because I'm not good) groups?

    http://www.austincycling.org/

    Craft beer and good happy hours?

    Where to start? In NW Austin/Leander/Georgetown, here are some good places, no particular order:

    The Dig Pub
    Brass Rail
    600 Degrees Pizzeria
    The League (either location)
    Redhorn Brewing

    I have some Landcruiser buddies that meet mostly every Friday at Billy's on Burnet, but I quit going quite awhile ago, telling them I would have to drive past a dozen places better than that dump to get there.

    Good dog spots? My 16 pound wiener dog mix is a killer.

    Three Dalmatians here. Good off leash dog parks are:

    Cedar Bark Park, in Cedar Park

    Bark Park, in Georgetown

    There will also be an off leash park behind me, when Garey Park is built out by the Georgetown Park and Rec, but that is probably at least a year out.

    Have fun!

    At least you have a DB.. that guy's boots are crying in that pic and with the broken shock I'd bet it's sitting at least an inch lower than it normally does, rip.

    Speaking of CVs though, ordering my custom CVJ axles today! It's kind of a waste of money considering I have my eyes on SASing the truck, but I'm tired of not being able to wheel

    Yeah, looks like a spacer thrown on at a dealer.

    Custom CVJs have been ordered! :lalala: If I manage to break one i'm giving up, considering they use these things in Rally Cars and all those Roush Raptors. I guess we'll see

    I can imagine. She literally walked in, looked at the sticker, and said it.

    @ChadsPride, do you know the font that was used for the Coalition stickers?

    Maybe he will see this or I will remember to ask when he gets back.
