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

Haha! Yes we've met more than once. Even to his caliber I think he'd be ok. This "scuff" was so minor you had to hunt for it. They don't always have them available but it's worth checking out to save a little $$$$. I was also thinking of the savings for @ChadsPride 's coilover budget

 

But now that the scuff has been discussed here, it simply won't do for the CHADMAN!

 

​

 

Let's go. I'm definitely going sometime in August unless someone else schedules a trip before then.

 

There is a PINS run in the making for April 21-22. Same groups as the one last year.

No legit mounts, yet. I normally throw them against the front wall and run a strap across them. Simple fix for a simple problem.

Damn overlanders drove the demand up.

 

Trying to go at least once before it gets to 5485 degrees out there! July/August is better for fishing though!

 

Noiceee! Where did you find the info on this sir?

 

Word of mouth. Buddy of mine is one of the moderators for SA Tacomas on FB.
They should have something specific nailed down soon.

If not, I have already marked that weekend on my calendar.

 

Excellent. Im marking mine for that date as well. If everyone craps out, we’ll have to get a TW group together to go down there!

I ran into @Tynan, @TX_Lucian last year, somewhere near mile marker 35.

Was a good run. Somewhere near 60 Toyotas mobbing down the beach.

 

Damn. They closed Yarborough pass

https://www.nps.gov/pais/planyourvisit/yarborough_pass.htm

 

Yeah its been closed now for over a year and from talking to the Rangers last week (my wife did) it sounds like its going to be a long time before its re-opened. People driving on the dunes back there

 

Damn, its been a bit longer than that since I've been. Its a soupy mess back there and up that bigger dune. Probably flattened out by the hurricane though.

 

I drove it week before they closed it off. Shit was stupid rough. Prius swallowing craters the whole length.

 

Yeah the hurricane really flattened out the entire coast line making it possible for people with 2-wheel drive to go way down the beach; much further than I've ever seen them. Its mainly closed now for preservation of the dunes back there. Sucks b/c that's my favorite spot to kayak fish.

 

Much agreed sir. Hopefully we can get a good group to go out to PINS soon.

 

I resolved the fuel can issue by buying a 38 gallon, and a Tundra was thrown in. Neat!

 

I’d cry on a fill up.....is there a thing as to many lights In yalls opinion.

 

I don't let it get past 1/2 empty, for exactly that reason.
