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

I'd definitely be interested!
Edit: I'll be honest, I've done a bit of off roading before but I get scared shitless every time I engage 4x4. It's just anxiety since I really don't know what I'm doing so I always choose the easiest line possible and don't really push myself towards harder obstacles because I don't feel like I truly have the basics down.

 

Awesome! Would be cool to get a few new people off the pavement. Maybe get something going at Hidden Falls?

 

Yes! Been there a few times before, but like I said in my edited comment above, I get anxiety and I think I would definitely benefit from something like a beginners clinic.

 

What's the anxiety stemming from? Fear of hurting the truck or?

 

Eh not really, I don't mind adding character to my vehicles in the name of fun, but I think the large part has to do with not really knowing what my vehicles are truly capable of despite having owned them for years.

 

I can help fix that for sure

 

We’ve all been there. With time comes experience.....and pin stripes.

 

I have a plethora of pin stripping, where's my experience?!

 

100% bone stock third gen behind @CarmenSanDiego doing Bronco Buster

 

That's what I mean! I've never even attempted anything more than a 1 or 2 out there.... I might just be a chicken.

 

We drug him down International Highway and Bronco Buster. However, he did rip up both his bumpers and all four of his lil' step things..

I don't even know the 1s and 2s

 

@GoddardPool we all gotta start somewhere though, eh? I'd be happy to show some new to 4wd folk around their trucks and the park as long as they come with a can-do attitude

 

Can do. Will do.

 

I guess if you want to do it just pick a weekend

I'll be here 'till leaving for Yosemite on the 6th

 

That leaves Christmas weekend and New Year's weekend, either work for me since they fall on Monday. 23rd works great, guess it all depends if anyone else wants to partake.

 

Sundays work for me as well if the park will be open.

 

Yeah sundays are fine. Can't do tomorrow though, Pats vs Steelers for home field advantage

 

The 23rd then? Or 24th?

 

Either works for me

Anyone else interested in a beginners HF run?
