    I live super close. It's not used unless there is an event in the park, like ACL or Trail of Lights. It's basically overflow parking. The town lake runners park under the overpass.

    I'm game for this spot. Looks like we could fit a bunch of rigs in there.

    And, it's in the dirt. @riz_atx

    I was thinking Bastrop or someplace in the hillcountry but this could work. Hanging out in a parking lot is still in a parking lot :rofl:

    I see this as phase 1 (drink coffee and wake up). Phase 2 is drive to HF, or Bastrop, etc. and play in the dirt.

    What's up guys! New to this website, have had a 2017 SR5 2x4 since last November. Currently building it up to be an anytime getaway vehicle. Have a KB Voodoo rack coming in this week with some bike mounts, and should be getting a decked system and RTT soon! Glad to be here.

    The cam bolts on the lower control arms are notorious for rust and seizing up.

    Say goodbye to your life saving an credit cards maxed. I have not even had my truck a year an have spent a small fortune on it. It’s super addicting but fun. @Texoma Chris has worked on my truck an seen him work on plenty of others he’s the only person I’d let wrench on it besides myself if I feel I’ll get in over my head.:cheers:

    Thank's guys! Also, I was wondering if there are sections of hidden fall that are do-able on a 2x4 with some good tires? I really want to head out there once I get a different set of wheels and tires on it.

    You're not kidding lol my tax return can't get here fast enough! @Texoma is definitely getting the next shot at ol red. I'm not totally worthless when it comes to modding but peace of mind knowing its done right by someone who's been there is hard to find.
