    Lol.. right thats what i meant.. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for clearing that up, i guess i needed another cup of coffee still! :pccoffee:

    Im going to try and make it for sure then since that works better for me anyways. Any idea as to how many typically are able to make it? I assume there are quite a few in the austin area.

    It seems that most of the Austin TW is still asleep anyways.

    Lately we have been averaging 30+ vehicle turn outs. Definitely one of the larger "car club" groups there. When the FJ guys, GATOR, T4R, Land cruiser, IH8MUD crews join in, it gets to be huge.

    July was our biggest turn out, but we usually have a fair amount of Toyotas show up, usually we're all in by 8am.

    I think it's your fender flare, but whatever it is, it surely is appealing to the eye balls.

    I think if I put 35s on right now they would indeed be self clearing... they would self clear the fenders right off the truck

    Well, matte wheels require a lot of attention, and these ones had not been cleaned in a while. Will have to keep working on them, but... I definitely feel I need to change the badges on the doors to black or remove them completely. Minor rubbing against the mud flap that I'm sure will go away when I finally get a bit of a lift. But it's finally getting there!!!!!
