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

This was before the tree's declared war on Big Perm.... Its not me I swear!

 

Ha yeah my BIL twisted his ankle on a wet rock about 200yds in, last wet ride. I'm fine skipping until next time. Zilker starts charging for entry next month so I will probably move it to this spot just down the road: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.2703548,-97.7703481,355m/data=!3m1!1e3

Plenty of space and no fee. We can still ride over to the Greenbelt from there as well.

 

Correction....he attempted to displace/uproot the tree by force.

 

Loving the new profile pic @tacopromatt !​

 

The 5100s aren't compatible with the 886 at all, hence why they're up for sale. According to Headstrong, the 90021s work well, just a softer ride on pavement. Since I don't have a winch yet and do mostly pavement, they seemed like a better option. If I get a winch down the road and they prove too soft I'll swap them out then.

 

What suspension are you running?
I think I've narrowed it down to getting OME881s and possibly some Dakars for the rear. 1st gens are notorious for shitty leaf springs but mine are so bad they curve the wrong way even when the bed is empty.

 

We run OME Nitrocharger Sports w/883s to hold the weight of the bumper, winch & hilift. We started with 881s but they didn't have the spring strength we needed when we upgraded the front end. In the rear, we run Dakars +aal and Firestone Ride Rite bags paired with Daystar Cradles on the axle to allow flex and not tear the bags. Took off the sway bar too, so there's tons of articulation.

 

I'd allow it in my HOA.

Sounds like a phenomenal setup, only problem is that I have a 4banger single cab so options are very slim and the bumper that I've been eyeing is only like 60lbs.

 

Think I only caught half of the conversation on this. I was just trying to throw some first hand knowledge out there concerning the 2886 coils.

 

Thanks, you don't have to worry too much about weight with that setup- I'm sure it's super nimble! Ours drives like a So heavy. I do have to say though, with our camper the leafs were not enough. Here's a side angle after we installed the airbags. Finally got the rake back!

 

Gotta say, that's a bad little mama-jamma!

 

Off today truck getting some love had a misfire code yesterday so gonna swap plugs again with denso this time instead of ngk. Also doing Earl change Tyre rotation an greasing all ma joints an lcas.

 

Hopefully they're not too soft. I don't want to be bouncing around like a jalopy

 

Heaven!

 

Holy cow this is bad just after 12k.

 

Anything going on the weekend of the 2-4 im coming down?!?!?!

 

Not sure but lets make something happen! ​

 

Could wait until the next weekend and plan your life around T&T.

 

Ground hog day love that movie
