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

Those look pretty sweet! I might be needing a cab mount chop soon as well...

 

The ol girl is hard on fuel these days i bet with that much lift and tars

Did you ever get around to calculating the mileage you get? I feel like we talked about this a while back

 

She is!!!
​

Even if I wasn't to run out of gas, you just never know who will.

Especially talking about the PINS run at some point...

I have not calculated anything!!! ​

 

I know what you mean! Mine drink it like theyre dehydrated

Where has this Pins run been discussed? Ive been wanting to check this out lately.. but want to go with some folks so i can take the prerunner

 

Same!!!
​

I'm not sure if there are any real dates but I've seen the idea slung around in here lately.

 

Had a Roto. Sold it.
Went Jerry can for less. Now have x2 capacity.

Depending on beach conditions you may not need extra fuel.
But that could change by the time you head back out.

Gonna do the full 60miles?

 

Hopefully after tax season so i can make it..

Nothing better than hitting the beach and enjoying some brewskis

 

So down for a PINS trip!!!

 

Interesting, pics of them mounted?

That's the plan!!!

 

There is a guy in San Antonio selling a bed mounted additional tire rack and rotopax but at the moment he is unwilling to separate the two items. If he does I got dibs on at least one of the rotopax! my wife stole mine for her T4R

Also rotopax sells "blemished" ones for way cheaper than new. Friend of mine got some and there was a little scuff on the back side which you'll never see. Worth checking out!

 

Thank you!!! Honestly, the prices aren't too gouging.

I might just splurge for new.
​

What size would you recommend?

 

@ryanbitt ​

 

Did i hear PINS trip?!?!?

 

Not trying to butt in here.. but ive got a couple 3.5 gallon fuelpax and theyve been great. I would definitely recommend this size. Enough to carry a good capacity but not to much of a pita to hold while filling up the truck. Mine were about 55 bucks each

 

We're down to do another PINS trip!!! I missed out last weekend on my wife's trip and she went all the way to the end and back. Only needed extra fuel bc of the trash cleanup going to and from the headquarters several times in one day. We will have our RotoPax just in case and tow straps!

 

Good deal!!! Where'd you snag those from??

 

I got mine off of ebay but i just checked and it looks like theyve gone up in price alot recently..

I bought one for 49 bucks and then the next one a couple months later was 70.. now it looks like theyre in the 80-90 range

 

Personally I went with two (2) 2.5 gallon cans. They mount up great with my voodo rack. It really depends on how far you plan to go on a trip knowing how far you are from the next gas station.

 

A scuff? Have you met Chad?
