July 9th 2017 Tacos & Tacos (T&T) a.k.a. Cars & Coffee... AF...




Last time was EPIC AF and we got to witness "Thee Chad" off road/crawl his bad bisch for the first time



$5 per vehicle to park which goes to a charity/organization (see below). This also gets you a raffle ticket for a Autozone bucket of stuff and things. Additionally, this month, is a $150 ticket for 2 for a "brothers in blue bash" (info below)

Organization Sponsored: Travis County Sheriff's Law Enforcement Association (TCSLEA)

From C&C FB page:

Well its time to announce the July beneficiary of our show! This month we will be hosting the TRAVIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION!!

They will be bringing out some of their SWAT vehicles for you to check out up close and personal. This months raffle winner will also win a $150 ticket for two to attend the first ever "BROTHERS IN BLUE BASH" September 16th at the Austin Convention Center!

The funds raised at this event will go to the TCSLEA Memorial Fund that provides support for families in need and to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice serving their community that they were sworn to protect. A portion of the funds raised will also be utilized to assist the Travis County SWAT Team in order to provide them with premier training and technology which supports the safety and security of our community. TCSLEA Fraternal Order of Police was founded in September of 2001, represents over 700 members throughout the Austin area and donates to various charities within our community throughout the year.


**As always, it is not expected for anyone to bring anything; i.e. food, drinks, stickers, patches, etc. Anything brought is greatly appreciated, but you are still allowed to partake even if you can't bring anything **

For those who haven't attended before, generally we all pitch in and bring various items for cooking bacon, tacos, bacon, coffee and... uh... bacon. It is a community effort and as stated above, you are not expected to bring anything. You are more than welcome to still enjoy a Taco, beverage and enjoy the company of others.

If you would like to bring something, the general list (not definitive, just spit balling) is:

Tortillas
Cheese
Bacon (lots )
Eggs (also lots)
Salsa
Other condiments or snacks or food items
Water
Drinks
Chairs
Table
Cooker
Coffee
Sugar
Cups
Plates

T&T Part Deux: Hidden Falls (HF) Adventure Park Trip

We are also planning to make a run to HF following our meetup for some off roading. Link to HF website: http://www.hiddenfallsadventurepark.com/

We were discussing leaving around 10:00 to head to the park. I'm hoping we will have HF veterans with us for guiding and assistance. There are multiple obstacles ranging from easy to rock crawler and bypasses for those that need to not destroy their trucks << I'm talking about me and my over zealousness haha. @CedarPark (iirc) had a good info post about HF from earlier and can probably answer some questions if needed

HF Park List:

@Misplaced Nebraskan
@Texoma
@pixelsailor
@MattCowsmasher
@siguy
@CedarPark
@Tynan
@TX_Lucian
@riz_atx
@Sleipnir




***Chime in on either event and I'll try to update daily***


I think I'm up to date on the lists. Let me know if there are changes.

 

Also, do we have a backup if @exportexp isn't available?... I'm searching craigslist now for a cooker . Good excuse to get one

 

The UPS guy brought a present from Mama Rago @ragofabrication - surprisingly hard-to-photograh-in-low-light Molle panels for the rear windows.

These things are STOUT AF...!

 

So, like...does this mean that you'll finally officially install the patch in the 4R?

 

Totally will!!! Those panels are sweet and I cant wait to take a closer look!

@riz_atx gave me an awesome patch today and even installed it himself!

 

Reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy like those


I keep adding those to my list for the runner. Still got a long list for the Taco though...

 

It's that personal service

 

Fo sho! I'll be at T&T this weekend. She was talking about doing Molle panels for the Taco as well..def worth it.

They're pretty nice - though I buggered up the powdercoat a bit while adjusting it out / tightening the panel up.

Its a fun game of adult legos putting them together, lol. I really wished I had them last week when I was helping a buddy move...kept having stuff slide into the back windows. Now I definitely don't have to worry.

And, uhh...there maaaaaaay be a group buy for them coming up. No pressure.

 

Oh I know... worrying about getting these sliders on first, which a friend at work is gonna work on them tomorrow. Goal is to be welded up for Sunday

Then I still have to fix the CEL I brought in last Saturday initial visual inspection yielded nothing. gonna clean the MAF and O2 plug connections and see what that does.

 

Solid point

 

And sand... you still have sand too
