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

There are a lot of pros and cons, mostly pros.
Parts are usually cheaper and easy to find, and its and depending the condition and going price, usually more guilt free beating it up.
Old school cool never gets old.

 

Take her on the easy trails n get a feel for her capabilities.

 

That's boring...

But really it's because it doesn't have AC. That shit would be miserable out there. Also, no parking brake, no power steering, and questionable reliability. I'd trailer it out for sure if I came.

 

You got a trailer for it too? Or you just rent one?

 

Only parts problem i'm seeing so far is finding some non-retrofit headlights... like these Spyder ones everyone and their mom has:

He wants to upgrade his lighting badly... glass headlights with a hole in 'em, poor light output. Don't want to mess with the fogs since a bumper will be coming eventually.

All I can find are retro services (too expensive for him) or just basic ass housings.

 

I'd just rent from uhaul for now.

 

We've rented a car hauler before and had to put my 33s down to 0psi to get the wheel straps around 'em.. just a heads up since your pickup has 35s yeh?

 

But the cheap ass housings and put yalls own projector in em

Win win​

 

Much appreciated there, I would not have considered that. Will probably need to find some straps.

 

Those cool halos though

 

Too many issues IMO, especially if he wont have $$$ to open and replace them.

 

I was thinking i could roll out the night before and just sleep in the RTT... like @Phoosa that one time on da hammock

 

Im game!!! ​

 

Probably true... considering attempting to build some fancy retros but wouldn't know where to start, not my cup of tea haha.

 

You think we would get ushered off? My RTT is super bright green LOL

 

Probably not if we show up after hours

Did @Phoosa really sleep out there?

I thought he just put the hammock for chillin...

 

Hmmmm. I suppose that is one way to save drive time.

May consider this.

 

He couldnt sleep and got there at like 3am IIRC

 

I set it up early in the morning when I arrived and got a mini nap inz

 

Love it!​
