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

@riz_atx , you gonna start a Trip thread, or should I put photos here. Got some of your rig doing Baller things

 

Sounds like y'all had a good time on the run! I'm hoping this weekend's little adventure goes well.

 

Hopefully it'll rain a bit at the beginning like it did for us. Made for some fun spots and some mud. Kept the dust down in the am too.

And Sohail is a trail leading champion now

 

For that trip let's do it here since other have posted and I'm being lazy Can't wait to see them!

For cheeseburger loop, I will start a thread since we blew up this thread a bunch. Most likely this till happen in the morning.

Same with me uploading the time lapse I got of the morning half.

And honestly, it was a blast leading the group! Much less dusty in the front

 

Sohail the Leader

(sorry for all the butt shots... it looks good though )

 

This video is effing epic!!!!

 

Awesome!!!!! Thanks for these!

 

No problem! Figured you'd want some action shots too, and it was actually the wife taking the photos of your backside all afternoon

 

She is awesome and appreciated!

 

Soooooo I think I need to get some sliders... This was on 'boss hog' at Hidden Falls

 

Just get some super glue.

 

I've always wanted to use that

 

Those steps are asking for trouble. My buddy nearly did the same thing last time we were there. Before we left I told him he should consider taking them off but he didn't want to go to the trouble. HF is pretty manageable even without sliders but those steps kill your clearance

From C&C FB page:

Well its time to announce the July beneficiary of our show! This month we will be hosting the TRAVIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION!!

They will be bringing out some of their SWAT vehicles for you to check out up close and personal. This months raffle winner will also win a $150 ticket for two to attend the first ever "BROTHERS IN BLUE BASH" September 16th at the Austin Convention Center!

T&T Part Deux: Hidden Falls (HF) Adventure Park Trip

We are also planning to make a run to HF following our meetup for some off roading. Link to HF website: http://www.hiddenfallsadventurepark.com/

We were discussing leaving around 10:00 to head to the park. I'm hoping we will have HF veterans with us for guiding and assistance. There are multiple obstacles ranging from easy to rock crawler and bypasses for those that need to not destroy their trucks << I'm talking about me and my over zealousness haha. @CedarPark (iirc) had a good info post about HF from earlier and can probably answer some questions if needed

HF Park List:

@Misplaced Nebraskan
@Texoma
@pixelsailor

Mornin

and Turnover time. Cold beer soon

I'll have backup if @Phoosa has his ax again

 

That should be pretty cool!​

 

Check the connections. Could be loose, or have water in em. Put some dielectric grease around the seal. Worst case is you need a new sensor.
