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

Seriously thinking about it!​

Going to get all the GoPros and Cameras charged up tonight

 

Says it's not going to rain till 12pm lol definitely not trying to stand in the rain lol I've worked in it enough.

 

Should make the bastrop trail more fun though. I welcome this rain.

 

Soooo all that rompin talk is getting me excited buuuut not getting my baby dirty so may change plans n you guys can see her next time

 

Sounds like you're channeling your "inner Chad".

 

Yikes! Can you spit now?

As for pain, I'll see you under the tongue and raise you through the nose. I had maxiofacial surgery many years ago, and they cut my upper jaw off and put it back on again in a new location. They had to cut all the nerves when they did, so things healed weird. In order to numb my mouth for a root canal (tooth failed from the surgery, but took 14 years to do it) they had to go in through MY FUCKING NOSE. Yes, I did cry, a lot. That's a shitload of nerves in a very small space, and damned if that dentist lady didn't stab them all. It's like plucking a nose hair on an industrial scale, except that when they're done you still have the stupid nose hairs.

 

I was scrunching my fingers and toes, just reading that. I fold!

 

Ugh, I'm gonna miss out Was looking forward to checking that place out too.

 

Maybe so???? What you got? Sorry I've been super behind on here lately

 

I think it's stock shocks attached to a block lift, but I think he's trying to sell his Icons any chance he gets as well.

 

I’ve got @Sleipnir old stock coils with a spacer on it taking up space in the garage got the order make it go away so it’s your if you want it.

 

Not really trying to sell at the moment but willing to trade in the market for a front bumper replacement or OME.

 

Shoot I have a broke. Shock that I jb welded so no off roading for me lol

 

I've got a set of stock 5th gen coil overs that may fit yours. No guarantees though.

 

Thanks man, but I'm waiting to get some Fox shocks before I have to wrestle with the terrible design of 3rd gen 4runner shock mounts

Also, those u-bolts are not the ones for @Rogelio22 from @atxboug... they are the set i had left over from my Headstrong purchase of dakars and the wheelers u bolt flip kit with its own set of ubolts

 

Ooooooooooo .... @riz_atx , I'll take the hitch lock and D-Ring hitch receiver! Bring you cash on Sunday?

Also .... I'm 100% down with going out to Bastrop after the meet. With the rain foretasted I am expecting that place to be pretty muddy and difficult to navigate. We can always make a judgement call when we get there whether or not to go down the trails. Recovery gear will be a must. I'll have my recovery boards, shovel and tow straps.

 

Here are a couple more pictures from this weekend when I was out there just to give some perspective on the mud:


This will surely be flowing by Sunday. My iphone doesn't give this too much perspective but its decently steep on both sides. Momentum will be key getting through here.




This is the open area right when you turn in from Hwy 71. The Tacoma I met and chatted with drove through this with ease and the water at the time was about 1/2 to 3/4 up to the top of his tires. I imagine this will be bigger by Sunday with this week's rain.


I'm not scared! I foresee recovery happening at least once or twice for one of us (including me!)

 

This is going to be good.
