Any Members in Arkansas?

NWA here, howdy. Thinking a kayak might be a good transportation investment.

 

Taking off Friday and noon and planning to head up in the hills if weather cooperates. If anyone wants to join let me know. No firm plans yet.

 

I've got "blue gun training" Saturday morning, but my afternoon is free. Saturday looks to be beautiful. I may get out tour the countryside for a few hours.

 

While I've already swapped my fogs to LEDs (Diode Dynamics HP5's), I decided to pull the trigger and do the HID swap. This is a function over form mod, as the factory headlights aren't cutting it (pun intended). Ordered the XenonDepot Extreme kit and upgraded to the Phillips 4300 bulbs. The install shouldn't take but an hour.

 

Please tell me you’re putting HID projector housings in for use with the HID bulbs

 

3rd gens come with projector housings.

 

Hey guys. Y’all ever do mod days around here?

 

Depends where "around here" is. I've got a shop "here" at my store in LR to wheel into and tools. I've done most of my mods here with and without assistance.

 

Here would be anywhere in the state. I’m in Batesville but would be willing to make a trip about anywhere. I’m wanting to tackle the infamous TOB chirp. Quite a task to complete on my own

 

Ugh, yeah, I wouldn't want to tackle that one at all! I did the clutch on my '92 truck and that was not a joy. But, if it was my truck, I would still do it myself.

Haven't seen anyone try to get mod days going here, but there aren't a lot of people active in this thread, and those that are seem to be kind of spread out. I wouldn't mind getting together locally for minor stuff. The major stuff I try to do alone. And my wife knows to leave me alone.

 

I reeaallyyyy don't want to do it but I'd also like to keep my transmission in tact... I also do all the stuff alone but I'm afraid I don't have enough hands to get the transmission out of the truck and my wife will not come anywhere near the shop...

 

I'm usually working on something every week. Y'all are welcome anytime (Searcy). If we get bored with the trucks, the 18th green is my backyard. Golf makes everything better. That and some steaks.

 

Not far at all. Wife and I make the trip to eat chic fil a every now and then.

 

Hope ya'll having a blast, I'm stuck at the store looking at the beautiful weather and thinking of trails....

 

Spent the afternoon Friday in the Quachitas, but did not make it out for the overnighter. I did redo most of the coolant/heater lines on the LC today. Something to be said for a newer Tacomas when it comes to all the work required to maintain and baseline a 25 year old Land Cruiser. She's running great tho, and did very well Friday. Enjoyed this awesome day, but a quick trip up and back in 24 hours wasn't in the works with rain forecast tonight I am itching to go for a weekend, and always open to go when time comes. Hopefully very soon. I think the Razorback Land Cruisers are planning an Ozark trip to run a portion of the High Water Mark May 4-6. All Toyotas welcome, or we can do our own shindig .

I'd prolly be down for some mod time swap @pm321 and @Doc's Rig. I need 4 hands to drop the rear section of the transfer case on my LC and replace a seal and bearing. I can set up a driving tee on the roof of the LC and bring my 3 wood...then eat steaks.

 

Any takers on a next Saturday overnighter in the Ouachitas? They’re predicting rain so the weekend should be clear

 

I'm in, got a route in mind? I'll bring my galoshes just in case...FYI too, the Ozark trip for May with local Land cruiser folks is definitely on, if anyone is interested.

 

Gotta miss that and TX Jambo. Our inaugural AR Tree Climing Comp in Bentonville that weekend. Thinking about ending up at Cedar Lake, don’t know about camping spots, but figured we’d wing it.

 

I'm not familiar with Ouachitas or Cedar Lake. What is the trip in like? If I don't have an RTT, would a simple tent suffice? Thanks.

 

I am root
