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

Yes you can do the air locker or Detroit tru trac as well.

 

Doesn't matter, that V4 you have will get you out of anything.

 

What kind of $$ you talking about?

 

Plus he’s got icons speed will be his friend.

 

Love my Detroit TruTrac

 

Depends on what you need done.

 

We need dual tire mark pics before you get new tires.

 

Did that this morn for the guys at work

 

Haha!!!

Work is slow for me right now. Normally I don't have time during the day to post but all I'm doing is taking care of warranty stuff for the build out we just finished.

Wish I was fishing

 

I can relate!!!!
​

Saw that clean up job you put on the 4R.

Nicely done sir!!! ​

 

Thanks man. Was pretty nasty from last week and some dirt roads we traveled Saturday. The detail freak within me lives on. Still trying to decide on what product to use on my new wheels. Probably just go with Opti-Gloss top-coated with Opt-Seal.

 

Mmmmmmmmmm, interested to see what you go with and the results.

This is something that had not yet crossed my mind!! ​

 

Opti-gloss is easy to apply and lasts well over a year & 1/2. If top coated with Opti-Seal (another product by same company) it will last 2+ years without needing to re-apply opti-gloss. I can help with this stuff sometime. Will share my results when I get to it. Probably will treat the wheels on Sunday.

 

Awesome!!! Looking forward to it!!! ​

 

I went to Hidden Falls by myself a few months ago. Got a 2wd with a locker. Had to use it like twice, but then again I also stayed off the level 4 and 5 trails. Wouldn't recommend going alone but then again I was fine lol. Probably got a little lucky

 

Do tell me more!!! Im a fanatic about my truck being clean I go directly to the car wash after being off road, always looking for new products to help keep it clean so I dont wash the paint off lol.

 

Here you go. Below is a video from a detailer describing the process of applying. Below that is some product info. It's IMHO the most user friendly coating to apply. You don't have to be a professional detailer to apply this stuff. Of course prep work before application is the most crucial part when it comes to the paint looking its best, but even if you don't spend the time correcting and polishing your paint before hand, this stuff will leave the truck with a "just waxed" look and provide excellent protection.

I can discuss it more if you have questions. Its a fantastic product.

 

Ohhhhhhh so its like a ceramic coating??

 

The smoker came with one built in but I plan to buy one. Yesterday was my first time smoking something really other than once or twice on my grill so I'm just getting into this whole thing. Any tips or tricks are appreciated!

 

That's a question on the order of which motor oil is best; there is no consensus. You'll find tons of info on the internet; some of it will work, and some won't. When you first get started, I always tell people to do a pork shoulder/pork butt, it's the meat that you get when you order a pulled pork sandwich. It's hard to screw up, doesn't take forever to smoke, (like a brisket can), and your friends/family/neighbors will love you for it. Chickens and turkeys, (either breast or whole), are also easy to start with. And Aaron Franklin's book is good reading, covers a lot of ground. Happy Smoking!
