Any Members in Arkansas?

Ah, ok. That would be a cool project. The Supra came with a 5M-GE straight six. The standard Celica had a 22R or 22R-E starting that year. Previous several years was the 20R.

 

Agreed. I asked him if he thought it could be restored.

 

Lately I've been researching Ozark Trail history and found a neat article about the HWM. I see some members in this post from 2016.

 

I was on that trip and so was @MatthewMay1. It was definitely a good one. More info/pictures:

That is great. I'm on that usually 2 or 3 times a year. We usually take Payne Ridge Rd from HWY7 (Simpson) to Victor to Richland to Woolum. Payne Ridge has some fun switchbacks (on rock) that wind up and down the mountain on the way to Sulphur road. It would be fun to get a Tacoma World group trip sometime to run that one.

 

From one of the trips last year.

I wonder if I could get my Tundra through Payne. I know you guys did some maintenance on it last year.

And...these would be a fun build out, but we'll prolly not ever see them here.

Looks like a great ride.

 

I no longer have a snorkel but I've been wanting to cross at Woolum and hike the Narrows. It just seems like every time the water level is low I'm either tied up at work or have something going on with the family.

 

No problem crossing when the water level is 4' or below at the St Joe meter on the shallow crossing.

We had a guy from Russellville in a new stock Tundra 4x4 run Payne with us last year. I need to prerun it with chainsaw to see if it needs a trim. The idea with our trail maintenance last year was to allow a full size truck with RTT be able to make it through.

There is a mud hole near HWY 7 that won't go away. Here a video of me crossing it in the LX last year.

I think we might have found the old Payne homestead last year. Did you know any Paynes that lived back in that area?

 

Only Payne I knew was a biology instructor at UALR. I bet he's long since retired.

 

Funny video! That music reminds me of Wide World of Sports.

 

LOL -- was a stock clip with a cheap video editor package.

 

Seeing all of y'all in the FB group makes me miss being back home, someone please come get me out of this city and take me to the Ozarks ASAP.

4R still looking sharp though.

 

Delta land can get a little monotonous.

 

That’s true, but Memphis roads are rougher than some trails in the Ozarks.

 

Need to air down?

 

Man, that was SO fun. I'm the lone survivor of first gens from that group.
