Austin Monthly Meet

JON buddy yeah man u should come lol this aint no sugar hill meet

 

Hey guys, Im not gonna make it. I started getting sick last night.

 

We're here at Shell now. Leaving here in 10 or so minutes, and will at the trail by 645..

 

Chris and Cody went on ahead to light-up the trailhead. I'm still at Shell, waiting for stragglers stuck in traffic.

 

Heading out. Trailhead is first left of of Parmer, east-bound, after Dessau. We'll meet the late comers at the clearing about 1/4-mile down the trail. Mud should be minimal.

 

Wish I could come, just don't have the funds to drive up there. Lemme know if anyone gets stuck

 

Had a little fun this evening!

Didn't have to use the tow-strap once
Also, those BAMF videos brought to you by a 3-year old 1st gen Droid. Don't hate, it's an antique...

 

The general consensus is that Friday/Saturday works well for people. It was definitely an adventure in the dark, and we spent just as much time in reverse and trailblazing as we did driving down the trail

Also, CBs!! Folks should definitely equip themselves. Chris and I had fun on the CBs (when they weren't flying off the dash, that is). Fry's has a compact model that would fit well. http://www.frys.com/product/3364432?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

 

Damnet i need to go to austin for a meet soon! Yall have a decent turnout!

 

We were talking about trying something a little more south next time. A couple guys from Houston and one from *El Paso* came tonight, and a couple trucks from San Antonio have expressed interest, so it wouldn't hurt to shift the meeting south a little. Pick up some new trucks and explore a new area

 

Thats sounds badass to me! Maybe some time next month ? I hope it will be cold by next month, im tired of this freakin bi-polar weather here

 

Hell yeah! We just need to find a new area... anybody know of anywhere between Austin and San Antonio?

 

San Marcos..but im not familiar at all with those areas

 

I didnt get to shine like everyone else lol film crew cut short but i eventually made it and the e brake thing kinda worked lol learn something new every day

 

Whats the e-brake thing?

 

What chris explained to me it tricks my abs n turns my diff into like a almost semi posi something like that instead of just one wheel spinning

 

Anyone that wants to go wheelin and party, come to Hidden Falls this weekend. Even if your not going to wheel your truck, we will have enough spots to ride. I have 3 open seats in the back of my truck. Anyways hope to see some of yall there.

 

I'm gonna support my fellow Toyota Fj or any offroaders by never going there, ever.

 

That's cool, I support them as well. That doesn't keep me from wheeling locally though. I need a place to test what I buy before I go anywhere else and HF is the best terrain around here. Doesn't mean I like the owners but I'll use his land while I am at it.

 

Another meet-up is happening, folks!

I realize it hasn't been a month yet but myself and another truck are going to head up to Hidden Falls this Sunday to poke around a little. He's a 4x4, and I'm a 2x4, so we're going to do both some mild stuff, and some more challenging.

I'd like to see some of you out there! I know not everyone made it to the large meet-up last week, so if you're free, and you're interested in checking it out, meet us at the park entrance at 11am this Sunday.
