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

Dibs, at T&T

 

Sold!

​

All yours my man!!!

​

 

Any big road trips planned? Any convoys?

Sorry Ive been out of the loop guys.

 

Saturday we are heading to the TO event in Bulverde and then heading through the hill country to Oxford Ranch to camp a night. Sunday will have hill country routes in it as well

 

That sounds fun af. My land cruiser is currently out of commission but I plan to get it fixed by the end of the month. Anything planned Feb going forward?

Also, your truck dude. I'm going to the next T&T to see your updates in person, and of course every one else's.

Seems like we got some new members?

 

There's also something going n the 20th, @LostHusker is putting together a Hill Country cruise. What's wrong with the Man Bruiser?

 

Sup guys- gonna try to get back on here more frequently again!

First, a question- anyone have experience replacing the old-style ball joints on the LR UCAs with the new greasable ones? Mine have some play (1/2") and need to get replaced. Ordered the new ones, just not sure how hard it is to remove the old ones.

 

Word G.

Yeah, we have had an influx of new folks over the last few months. The last TnT had I believe 46 vehicles!

 

​

 

Can't happen soon enough.

 

I blew the front end at HF.
I need to do a knuckle rebuild. I plan on getting all the parts together by the end of the week. If I can get it going by the 20th Ill definitely go.
How many people are going to this? Do you guys want more?

 

Pics of the damage:

 

Truck on jack stands, wheels off, BJ to spindle disconnect, BJ to UCA disconnect, reconnect new BJ to UCA, torque spec 150ft#'s, reconnect BJ to spindle, torque spec 45ft#'s, new cotter pin, wheels back on, truck on ground, wheel lug torque spec 83ft#'s, done. Very easy work. I recommend a pitman arm puller/separator to separate the BJ from spindle. You got my number, call or text if you need anything.

 

Yucky

 

I will definitely hit you up. Thank you sir.

 

Sweet. I’ve updated the OP, still paying homage to your former Tacoma. Looking forward to the crowd!

I can second AWS, and can also speak to their security. If you’re going to do any selling from that site, AWS exceeds all security requirements.

I have a new (old) coffee maker. Testing it for use on the bed outlet now. We should have plenty of fresh coffee available, so bring your own cups folks.

 

Would it be weird if I came in my Toyota corolla? haha.
