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

I knew you'd be going, but waiting for you to chime in

 

@T4Rgurl I got you on. The list . TTC thread list up to date so far.

 

I did the Tundra caliper swap on my '01 several years ago and noticed no difference in braking ability, and was kind of pissed that I went through all that effort for no difference. When one of the Tundra calipers started sticking I put the stock Tacoma calipers back on with new rotors and EBC pads. No real difference, but it seems to bite a little harder, due to the quality pads. The Tundra brake swap is probably good for hauling a trailer or a heavier loaded down truck, but it didn't offer any benefit for my little single cab.

 

Bump



Added date. Somehow I dropped it off when removing all the other pertinent info. I think Date is OK to share just not the rest

Heading back to Austin shortly. Hope everybody is doing well!

 

Think I may try to wash the Bastrop off my truck today

 

To all of our service member here an far:
Thank you all for your sacrifices and your services we are here today because of you all nothing goes unnoticed and everything is very much appreciated. Thank you so greatly for being you. Thank you for all that ones who have lost lives through the fights never forgotten. I salute you all

 

Well I took the rtt off till I go somewhere cooler.. until then adding to my drawer systems for in cab sleeping quarters.

Need to beef up the rack to support tent an awning(s)

It feels so naked it's been in forever.

 

I swear I thought I saw yall near Katy in the Rav4 yesterday on I10.

 

Ditto. And thank you.

I’m wiped out. Spent the last two days clearing low branches and removing some dead trees (we’re “blessed” with a couple dozen elms) from my backyard. Most of the time was cutting everything into pieces less than 2’ long for removal purposes.

Throughout all of this, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s hotter than Satan’s ballsack out there.

I believe a nap is in order before the final push to get all those cut branches and stump pieces into the bed of the truck for hauling out to the recycling center where they’ll get turned into free mulch. I’ll then grab some of that mulch for my bushes out front. Circle of life and all that crap.

I wish everyone else a happy Memorial Day, and will be thinking of those I’ve served with who are no longer with us.

 

Hi all, Been talking to Sohail/ Riz_atx on Instagram and he directed me over to this thread.

In town for a few months @ sheppard AFB. I was trying to meet up with some tacos while I'm in town. My class doesn't start for another week so I'm just trying to fill some time up.

Also last night at around 1800 I saw two 3rd gen's leaving base while I was entering and turning right.

Anyways, hope to meet you all and explore around TX while I'm here.

 

Is anyone bringing anything???

 

Welcome! Sheppard’s nowhere near Austin, so that’s one brutal commute! Are you learning to drive them or fix them? Seems like drive is more likely, as enlisted maintainers would be restricted to base until phase 3 (unless you’re cross-training).

We have several meets coming up over the summer, so catch us here or at the Texas Toyota Coalition (TTC) thread. Basically, just stalk @ChadsPride and you’ll know everything that’s going on.

 

I’m in with GF and both kids

 

I’m here for amoc so “fixing them” on the officer side. I’m not sure what all my schedule is going to be and such since my class doesn’t start til next week.

 

I can bring burgers and stuff, I won't volunteer to cook because I'm not that great of a cook.... I may make you all sick.

Edit:
Sign me up for 20 burger patties, buns, mayo, ketchup, and mustard.

 

Based on all the MX officers I’ve known, it seems like an easy course. “Listen to your MSgts, stay out of the crew chiefs’ way, and supply never has the parts you need when you need them so order them ahead of time.” Oh, and the ramp at Al Udeid gets above 145 degrees in August, so everything gets fixed at night or inside. Learn to love Rip Its, because it is the maintainer’s lifeblood.

Go Air Force!
