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

Diesel would be awesome but I don't wanna spend my first born on it. I was looking to spend around $15k for one

 

Dude. That's more than enough. I'm not saying its going to be in showroom condition, but it definitely wont be a "project".

 

Where are you finding those? I was looking on ih8mud and a couple other places but no hj61 yet

 

I lied! I just found this beauty

There you go, just be a little patient, but mostly persistent. I bought mine sight unseen off Craiglist. I can't tell you how nerve wracking it was when the bank told me, "we cant confirm this is the person you're saying it is. If you accept to send this wire, we will not refund your money if its a scam. Do you accept the risk, and would you like to continue".

 

@Sleipnir
Here you go sir. Hell take 15k. He'd be stupid not to.

Man that had to be scary then scary! I wonder if I can finance one after the Tacoma is paid off

 

Everything was 110% sketchy from beginning to end. But when that truck rolled off the transporter I felt this relief.
I found 2 down the road from us.

 

There's a first gen 4Runner for sale 100 yards from my house. I keep staring at it hard (with a hard on). It's already lifted and on 33s.

I need to take pics...

 

I'm coming for you @riz_atx

 

I saw that but they're both actually in SC. They just listed it in San Antonio

 

Im ready! Meeting almost over.

 

They'll take 15k.
There is an importer here in Austin that has a few diesels (all brands) off slaughter. They had a sweet 91 Nissan Petrol/Safari for 16k. It drove real nice.

 

You remember the name of the place?

 

I think I have their business card in my car. It's a real hole in the wall place. I literally stumbled upon it.

11400 Old Lockhart road. There is a crossfit gym right there too. Super random.

916-995-0268, they told me to ask for Nick.

 

No worries, my LandCruiser is 24v so I've been learning quite a bit. A dashcam is practically invisible to a healthy battery on a regularly driven car. A CB or a stereo is a different matter.

If you'd like to have a 24/12 conditioner/converter to help sleep better at night I cannot recommend the Redarc units enough. The best there is on the market.

You spelled "LandCruiser HZJ77" wrong.

 

Went to the bike shop today to talk about putting a deposit down on a 2018 KTM 2 stroke that I wanted.

The boy wants this 50...



But Papa wants this 4 stroke that they let me ride around out back.



Talks have begun.

 

Oh no! They sold the 4Runner before I could get pics! Noooooooooo!!!

 

I want one of those KTM EFI 2 strokes so badly... such cool bikes.

One of my best friends, who races, was going to put a down payment on one... Then found a KTM 380 2 stroke in mint condition and jumped on that instead. Was sad but the bike is pretty badass

 

Agree, I want one too but am bummed that we will only get the 250 and not the 300. Dealer said that they know they will sell every 300 they make in Europe to enduro privateers and open MX racers. Makes sense, but doesn't make me happy hence me straying to the 4 stroke. If they do bring the 300 to the States then I'm going to get it too.
