Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Alot of those things can just be moved out of the way temporarily, then moved back.

 

New tires on, so happy! They ride better, steer better, are quieter! Tire life remains to be seen, but overall happy! LT265/75r16 on the new ones, LT265/70r16 on the BFGs.

And man, these things are chunky on the tread.

Looks like Hidden Falls is getting smashed

 

Like the view from your place!

 

Yes. We ended up actually coming back to camp because the fence line was turning into a river and it was sketchy as fuck.

 

That's what I figured. I'm really regretting not just going for it and putting it on instead of calling it quits. The question remains though if what to do with the spacer they provide. At this point I'm thinking the answer will make itself known if I just get it on then evaluate what the lines look like with the mounting plates in place

 

Where are all the tacomaworld peeps at? Hidden falls is Lit AF.

 

On the other side of the lake having drinks at a friends distillery, Crystal Creek Moonshine.

 

Sitting at black sheep on Lamar drinking beer on the patio sweet lightning here too

 

Really wanted those falkans but didn't have my size. They look sweet! And have great reviews so far.

 

They had to order mine in from Dallas but it was worth the wait. They do much better in the rain than the BFGs, and that's what I wanted. All the sipping should help with the snow when I can finally afford to go to Colorado.

I have to take the truck back on Monday, there didn't balance them very well.

 

They don't make a 255/85/16 as of yet and I was in extreme need of tires Also thought about the Grabber X3's with red letters but in my backup option size (285/75) it wasn't red letter... But so far I'm thrilled with the Cooper ST Maxx's.

I start my Turn, flex and trim this weekend. They rub at full lock forward and reverse. They are hitting the frame in Drive at full left lock on drivers side... not in the area of CMC but forward more on the curve of the frame... I guess that would take a spacer or possibly UCA tweaking to clear? not sure when they did the alignment today if they tweaked the Tire forward in the well or left it as is. So far, not under flex, it's just the frame that is rubbing. I'll get pics tomorrow. Little wet out there right now...

 

Can confirm! We came home tonight since our camp site was pretty much flooded and a total mud pit after two heavy showers. Had a blast though! Everything is rinsed off and drying in the garage

 

There's a floating bedrack in that last pic. Crazy shit

 

Great pics! Glad y'all made it out safe and all. I'm wondering how @CarmenSanDiego and company got along.

 

They are (were) in a cabin. They were smart.

 

Anyone done the Alpine loop in Colorado? Think that we are going to go out that way in July.

 

Finally making it over to Valentinas BBQ this AM. @riz_atx

 

It was a great weekend. We got the cabin this time because the weather looked kind of sketchy. This is our last big wheeling weekend we planned(as of now)for a couple months and we wanted to make sure we weren't sitting in water or melting from heat.

 

Lots of folks out there this morning despite the shitty weather!


I ate my taco before I remembered to take a picture so here's an oldie
