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

I will be bringing some good wood with me. I may be walking around with some wood. ill do my best to show the select my wood

 

#peakedyointrest yes sir shoot me a pm and if you need my number ill send it over. thanks for your interest

 

idk, considering a full wrap would be a couple grand, that sounds about right for just the hood. Not saying it's not expensive, but sounds typical for the job.

Me, I would just dip it.

 

I plasti dipped my hood. Looks aight, has held up well for what it is

 

Hey y'all. We survived. Much love to my TW fam who has been very supportive through it all.

 

Call these guys for a quote. I've seen some of the work they do on fire trucks (apparently that's a wrap on EMS and command rigs) and it's insane. Looks like paint.

So, finally found the annoying as fuck front end rattle on my 4Runner. Camber bolt. Now, I had an alignment done at Firestone a month ago. I have never in my life experienced a loose camber bolt, so I'm inclined to believe that the torque applied was too low.

My concern is the bolt. I've already talked to Firestone and am dropping it off tomorrow. Should I leave it up to them to determine the wear on the bolt, after jostling around for xxx miles?

$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, PUPPIES!

Organization Sponsored: LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society)

From C&C FB page:

This months show is supporting LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society).
Here is some general information about LLS:
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. The LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.
LLS also holds their annual Light The Night at COTA. Light The Night is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual fundraising walk and an opportunity for Central Texans to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Participants walk along a one-mile route carrying illuminated lanterns – white for survivors, red for supporters and gold lanterns in memory of loved ones lost. Austin Light The Night takes place on Saturday, November 18, at Circuit of the Americas. Learn more at www.lightthenight.org/sctx.

So please clean those cars and come on out to support such a great cause!!

Taco's needed eaten in honor of those that can't make it:



T&T Part Deux: Arrowhead Park (http://www.lvpoa.org/amenity.asp?id=15)

Chris, how much are the passes so we can pay you back?

We will be doing a Taco Convoy out of T&T at around 9:30 to head to Arrowhead park in Lago Vista for more food and merriment. Chris (@Texoma ) was gracious enough to pick 25 visitor passes for us in advance. The plan is to park Lakefront, grill, drink, swim, etc..

As far as beer options, we're looking at BYOB or pitching in on a keg.

Chad (@ChadsPride ) also suggested something about a Taco Community Trash Pickup at some point to show good community standing. If this is something we do, I'd recommend doing it as one of the first things prior to too much food and drinking.

As another point, that I'm not worried about, we will obviously need to clean up fully after ourselves as well. But our C&C showing is already great about this.

Chime in for what you'd like to bring for this portion of the day and if you want to attend.

Arrowhead Park (Rollout of T&T @ 9:30 ish) Food, Tacos, and Merriment

Hey! Glad y'all are okay! All the pics we saw were freaking crazy...

 

T&T and Lake Trip lists updated. Thanks @Texoma for picking up the slack . Transition to nights always kills me. But I'm good to go and will continue to update. If I left something off my list you know about for the lake, lemme know

 

getting closer and closer on your project

 

That's about the same price I was quoted for my roof. Been wanting to do it for so long.

 

In for both! ​

 

Damn, I was quoted $500 for my roof.

 

Those bolts and sleeves are pretty hard metal. If they were loose and moved around, I doubt they are damaged, but the alignment tabs may have been damaged. Sometimes folding them back over by hammering them works, sometimes it just breaks them. If so, your next step would be Total Chaos cam tabs. Those won't break.
