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

I was more concerned with getting yalls trucks through those trails unscathed.

 

Yeah. Much appreciated! Just a few pinstripes down my left side. Was a hell of a fun time though!

 

For sure, now you can say you took your stock truck down a 4diamond trail

 

and I didn't shit my pants!

 

My company sent me to Bend on Business and I agree, it's the nicest place I have ever been. The people are out of this World friendly, it's quiet and it's neither hot nor humid when compared to here. Oh, and if you love the out doors (fly fishing, hiking, kayaking, off roading) it's like the perfect central spot.

I would love to move there. Come to think of it, there's a couple off road companies already here. I wonder if they're hiring...

 

You aren't going anywhere.. get back to work!

 

Pinstripes would be putting it mildly...





No complaints though. Lots of fun. Great spotting. @Texoma who was riding with you? I'm so bad with names. Both of you were a ton of help

 

Now this.... is why I own a silver truck.. and not a black one. This right here.

 

I've said it before... I purposefully ordered a white one for this very reason. Another dealer gave me a better price on this one fresh off the truck (2 miles). Alas...

 

I am a wuss when it comes to heat too. I've owned a dark green truck.. pretty close in that color spectrum to black, it was hot enough. I cannot begin to imagine having a black vehicle in Texas. I don't know how @TX-TACO does it with a black truck AND leather seats?

 

My silver definitely helps. I'm sure mine are just as deep.

It'll buff out.

 

Oh wow, this reminds me of BBRSP. @TX_Lucian was in front on Aso Loop (back when he had his Trailblaizer) and every tight spot he went thru I heard "Sorry Seaaaaaaaan" over the CB. Those Manzanita bush's were serious business! I was able to buff MOST of the scratches out, but not all of them.

 

I'll sell you my old diff with an Aussie in it

 

Remember what trails y'all did?

 

Adopt, don't shop, m'friend!

 

Love it!

 

That's always a good thing. Always.

 

What gears are in it and price? I'm broke right now but if you're not in a hurry to sell I'll start saving my pennies.

 

Not entirely sure. We spent so much time trying to figure out where the eff we were and which direction to go. I don't remember exactly when it happened but I think there was only obstacle that we ran into that had trees on the passenger side. So that would have been about midway down what I think is Revenge. https://www.google.com/maps/@30.6158894,-98.1464768,243m/data=!3m1!1e3 There's a little makeshift bypass that we took advantage of to get around a drop that our stock lifts couldn't manage. Only it was a really tight 90 deg turn. Had to Austin Powers it to get all the way through. Lots of dead branches poking out everywhere so that makes the most sense.

 

Yeah, it was right above Jody's revenge on that killer drop off we couldn't decide on. We both ended up making 8 point turns trying to avoid the brush, but it was hopeless.

You nailed it on the map.
