Any Members in Arkansas?

Looks like some fun to be had.

 

Yesterday's trip to West Plains to drop off the hundy to get the transfer case 4L regeared to be 25% lower.

The Tacoma was a blast to drive through the curves on HWY 9. There was hardly any traffic yesterday afternoon so I let it roll. It handled the switchbacks and hairpin curves with no problem. That road is like driving an AutoX slalom course through the mountains. Turned off OD and went for it.

 

Some good looking 80's in that picture.

 

It's hanging out with some good company for sure.

 

Who did you take it to? We have a shortage of quality 4x4 shops around here.

 

To get 4L regeared to 3.1:1 for a 25% reduction and new TC seals. Jason has done so many of those I think its the best place to get it done.

Considering doing a part time conversion on my 80 in hopes of getting 7 MPG instead of 6.

 

Y’all have seen this already, but this went down next door to my Sons Fiancés Folks house. Been a long, stressful night / day. FAN he’s still out there…SOS

 

One of my co-workers lives right there as well. Crazy!

The other shooting in Saline county was exactly where we lived 3 years ago. The guy that they interviewed on the news was a buddy of mine. He lived two houses up from me.

 

They took him into "custody" this morning at 6am at the new Morgan QuickTrip

 

Jason has it ready. We'll go pick it up tomorrow. New Sumo 3.1:1 reduction gears, seals and the 7-pin mod.

SOLD to a nice young MTB bro from Louisville. Looks pretty slick on that green Taco.

 

That does look good, makes it look even MOAR army. Glad you found a buyer!

I just put in my Covercraft Canine Cover for the rear seat. The neoprene ones I had were worn through, but they lasted through multiple CO trips in my 2012 and then my 2018. The new one is a heavy canvas with padding and seems mostly well-designed. Not cheap, but the neoprene ones aren't much cheaper, and this seems more durable and covers all the seat cracks. Amazing how much dog fur can accumulate in those areas in just a short time. Need to get out in the woods and test it.

 

Also hit this milestone (of immaturity) today.

 

Wow... they are expensive. Not sure I can stomach that for as seldom as I carry the dog. Was curious because I may have her for a two week trip in July. But man, I can get something completely unnecessary but cool as shit for that much. Age old dilemma: something cool or practical, something cool or practical...

 

68 degrees? Man what I'd give for that. 32 and a 1/4 inch of ice on everything today.

 

That was us a little over a week ago.

 

Planning to be down AR way in about three weeks. Hoping for some of that 60+ kind of weather!

 

Stopped for lunch in Calico Rock on the way back from West Plains MO. I want to go back and drive HWY 9 north looking for good places for photo opportunities and maybe some new trails. I don't know much about that part of the state. Sylamore and the White River area look interesting.

 

I've banged around trails in Sylamore area and spent some time in and around Gunner's Pool, but that was years ago. Maybe we need to plan a weekend trip up that way. Calico Rock looks like a cool place.
