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

If you haven't been out there before be warned that their trail map is terrible and the trails are poorly marked, if at all. Neither are the ratings very consistent as trails have changed over time but they don't seem to have bothered updating them or maintain the trails in any way. Know that a 2 on there is basically a dirt road with some washboard and possibly some rocks thrown in for good measure. Stock you should be able to handle 3s no problem. Even 4s if you pick your line carefully -- but don't plan on it.

To keep you heading the right direction, I suggest using satellite imagery from Google Maps (or similar) as well as possibly something like Maps.me that shows trails and works offline. Should give you a better sense of where you are and what is an actual rated trail vs the numerous random paths.

Have fun

 

This works pretty good:

It was my 1000th post as well

 

Oh yea, just like it. Just a hard life when youre a bull dog

 

Didn't get a whole lot of pictures over the weekend but gf got these at Hidden Falls with @Texoma and @mustangstephen. Had a great time hanging out with a lot of the Austin crew last weekend on Cheeseburger Loop, C&C, and a little taste of HF. Thanks for the hospitality everyone.

 

Mmmmmmmm I wish I had MTRs again. Good lookin' trucks.

Looks like y'all had fun! Hoping I can get the truck good and join y'all soon.

 

Because i'm a total idiot I get now why you asked if I was your "Houston friend". I didn't put it together then as I was slightly distracted from my BF kicking on my Runner. Sorry!

 

haha it's all good, I am fairly new to being social here. Totally understandable.

 

Nice pics Kevin. You'll have to thank Amber for taking those for me.

 

Will do. Need to get Cody to put some of the pictures he got on here.

Does the factory spare tire (2015 SR5 PreRunner TX Edition) have a TPMS sensor in it?

Thank yall​

 

I thought Toyota quit putting sensors in spares after '05.

My '14 Offroad doesn't have a sensor there.

If I am wrong somebody speak up.

 

I have absolutely no idea ​

 

As far as I know it does not. They're not made to be kept on the vehicle for extended amounts of time so there's not a need for a sensor in a factory spare. I know that my Runner spare did NOT have a sensor.

 

Ok cool, i guess i will have to pay for 1 full new setup on Friday.

Going to have a full size spare, i suppose it should be monitored....

 

Sounds like Sir Beags-a-lot

 

I'm not sure your truck will recognize more than 4 wheel sensors. So you may want to ask the DT staff about that before you invest in it.

 

It won't, it's only capable of 4
