Austin Monthly Meet

A group of us are meeting at the Valero west of US 183/1431in the next 30min, then heading to LV. All welcome.

 

Wish I saw this earlier, would've went back out. Had a good tine out there yesterday. My friend found out how bad he needs sliders and skids on his Xterra, and to keep off the go pedal so much as he almost rolled it. I need to ditch the front receiver tube and back bumper because they got in the way, and I smashed the tailpipe coming off a ledge, also scratched the hell out of my paint.

 

Pic's!

 

Got a couple poser shots, but need to load from my computer since my phone sucks.

 

We went pretty mellow, as we had a new driver in a 2wd, and a fairly new 4Runner that we didn't want to bang up.

I plan to drag Alan out there soon, so he can watch my back as I do some stupid stuff I saw while we were out there.

 

Might run out there again this weekend if I can break away for a bit.

 

well, broke my rack and pinion in my steering unit.

 

What! Was it from Hidden Falls?

Mark did similar and just SAS'd his 0.0

 

oh well that sucks i guess you wont be needing that front bumper anymore

 

It was I'm sure! I don't have the budget atm, but I got a ford focus instead of a SAS, it was needed

 

i did the ford focus mod long ago. luckily, cuz i only have shared custody of my taco

 

I wish I did too! Haha one day. Got parts ordered to get it fixed and replacing pads and rotors while I'm at it.

 

LV tomorrow.

 

I might come out, dont want to wheel i need to figure out how to get my cv's from acting up. Im like half way between a 2" LT Kit and a Std 3" lift. My axles need to be 1.5 - 2 inches longer than stock due to the travel.....

Anyone know of a place in Austin to make custom CV shaft? Im thinking chromoly

 

Should be out there around 2ish. North end of the main road. CB channel 16 if you have a radio.

 

Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Heading out to TORR with a group of guys here on the Forum, anyone from Austin going?

 

hey there, hopefully looking for answers in the right thread, but i was wondering if there are any rock climbers in teh austin area on here? i just picked up some used climbing gear on craigslist (everything but rope) but i have minimal experience. i was wondering if there is anyone who would show me the ropes and some good spots near austin.
