Post Cars & Coffee Meetup:
There will be a trip to Bastrop to do some wheeling following the event. Departure times from COTA will likely be discussed the day of at COTA.

 

Good morning y'all! Just a FYI, I now have a SWR meter for anybody in the S. Austin area that needs to tune up their CB antenna.

 

Oh damn! I may have to swing by after we wheel hidden falls in July to get mine tuned. Or perhaps youd like to join us! We will be headed to hidden falls July 22nd. Forget the breakfast place we are meeting at. I'll have to find and post it. But meeting at hidden falls about 9am. Let me know if you are interested

 

JJs bbq in lago vista at 8am fir breakfast. Then wheel at 9am.

 

A huge thank you to @Texoma for the spring install on the 4Runner. For anybody new who needs help with their project(s), please make sure to contact Chris for scheduling and pricing. The 4Runner has a bit more lift now but more importantly can carry its added weight when we go overlanding. We went with Dobinsons Springs. These springs were specific to the TRD Pro 4Runner suspension and had them powdercoated red to match the factory springs. My wife couldn't be happier with how it rides/looks. Thanks again Chris!!!

Arrived ready for install.

Sexyyyyah!!!!

 

Looks good how was the ride improvement.

 

Much improved over the factory springs. Way less nose dive, definitely stiffer but not harsh. We are going to load up all the gear in the next week or so to truly test the ride quality with the new setup.

 

Hell YA!!!

 

I would like to go check out HF but I work on Sundays. When ever I get some time off I'll have to go check it out during the week.

 

Ride quality with that set up was fantastic. Dobinsons def has a good product.

 

and my traveling is done for a little while. like, 2 weeks. came back from Tulsa last night in a 2018 DCSBTRDOR with prem/tech & jbl. i don't know why the interior on this one felt and looked some much better than the 2016 i test drove. i was impressed. that Toyota Safety Sense stuff was pleasantly nice, as well. while that didn't make me miss my 4Runner, it did make me look forward to when i get to plant my ass back into a Tacoma.

anywho, now that travelling is done, i've got some stuff to off that I don't want to ship or drive around.

Bajarack Ladder for 5th gen 4Runner - $200.00



ARB awning...the long one, 2500. Why so long? I like the fact that I could open my door and have coverage. It was used twice. or 3 times. it's so awesome having an awning when you're out at events. especially when it's a decent size. - $175.00

 

Need peektures of new truck.

 

Looks great!

Might not be making C&C. Just found out I have family coming down next weekend to screw up a perfectly good father's day. Plus, I saw the weather report and am allergic to rain.

Oh, we need to be taking one of those pics and updating the OP. Got a favorite?

 

not mine. a friend's. i know she creeps here, but i haven't creeped hard enough to figure out her screen name.

 

Gotcha

 

@CaptAmerica ... speaking of rain... Vacation looks like I'll be enjoying a little bit of it too But you can bet your ass I'll still be chilling on the beach

 

Ooooooo Ladder rack. If @Texoma doesn't want it, we might. Need to see if its compatible with our Echnotechne Roof Rack
