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

It’ll sell before you know it!

 

I'm looking to paint the cross members on my Prinsu matte black. What is the best paint? Bed liner, rhino line?

 

Holy shit balls!!!! I'm happy for you and sad also lol that house is freaking awesome! Somebody is gonna be like "we scored"

 

I hope an overlander gets it!

 

Rustoleum High Temp
Sprayed mine over 2 years ago.
Holding up just fine.

 

That was going to be my recommendation too. We just touched up my wife's ecnotechne roof rack with it and it was a perfect match.

 

The wife's T4R TRD Pro is about to get some new goodies!

@Texoma - I will be in touch soon with regards to scheduling install.

Haaaayy
You in our convoy?

 

Should I completely sand off all the clear anodizing? I want to make sure what I'm thinking is correct, I only want to do this once.

 

Indeed sir.

 

Been thinking of doing one of those crazy trips from Alaska to to Baja. Would it be smarter to buy an adventure trailer or just load the vehicle up? It would be just me.

What I had in mind trailer wise: https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/tro/d/m416-off-road-trailer/6572940509.html

 

That’s badass I’d rather have something like that than the truck loaded down. You can unhook the trailer an go explore a little easier an swifter an haul more in the bed.

 

See that's what I was thinking. I was thinking the only thing on the truck should be an air compressor, an awning, and possibly enough room to put the seats down and make a impromptu bed?

How ridiculous is the idea of IF I bought a trailer, doing the bastrop trails with a trailer to test maneuverability?

 

Not ridiculous at all if that’s the route you wanna go then expand to big bend then beyond. Those trailers can go thru a lot only issue I see could ever see is not ground clearance but perhaps turning radius for switch backs an 3 point turns.

 

If you rough it up and clean it with alcohol or mineral spirits, it will act as a primer.

 

Yeah. I definitely think Big Bend is the best "beta" test for expenditioning. Followed by White Sands.

For the adventure trailer I figured, RTT, Fridge, Kitchen setup, Lighting set up, annex, waterport. Possibly upgrading to roadshower. What else?

 

Oh snap, beefin the T4R up.

 

You could put a battery system in it an have it charged thru the trailer harness an possibly a solar charger for truck or trailer. For me I’d do batteries in the trailer an not have a dual battery setup under hood. If under hood battery went bad you could just swap one with trailer an keep on down the road, a small tool box would be a nice addition as well.
