Any Members in Arkansas?

Anyone familiar with county road 70 in Polk county? Between hwy 270 and hwy 88. I wanted to take the scenic route home last weekend and that was quite exciting.

 

Used to run those roads back when the Contras were there. That got interesting.

 

@E.J., did you go back to the OEM cab mount bushings? I'm wondering if mine are rotting out as I've got some popping/clunking sound that I just simply cannot find. Can they be checked for wear without taking them completely out?

If my mystery sound isn't the cab mounts, then I don't know. Then only thing left to check after that is motor mounts

 

Yeah I went back to OEM rubber. You could try rocking the front corners of the truck (like you'd do to test the shocks/dampers) and see if the noise happens.

 

It's Official. The July 23rd Toyota Trucks of Arkansas meet has been booked!

Neat new map layer on Gaia. Messing around with it a little now, looks promising to eliminate the need to stack so many layers.

 

Working on the messaging outside of Facebook.

Come join us in Burns Park on Saturday, July 23rd from 10 AM to NOON for another meet and greet. The last meeting was held in July of 2019.

We will have giveaway prizes for attendees. Pictures from the July 2019 meeting are listed below.

This year's event has been booked with the NLR Parks and Rec Department as an "Official Event" with a permit.

The red tent will return this year. Cold bottled water provided.

This event is FREE to all Toyota and Lexus truck owners.

No tiered or entry fee charges for event sponsors who are providing benefits to our members.

Going to try to make it to this. I wanted to go to the last Rigs and Coffee but it's a busy time right now.

 

Good deal! I think this will have a good turnout.

 

You know I'll be there, are Rav4s allowed too? We've got one of those too I want as many chances as I can get to win something.

 

Oh lordy if it's one entry per vehicle then @MatthewMay1 is going to take all of the prizes home... if he makes the drive.

 

Well only 1 person can drive 1 vehicle each, and we have 3 people in my 4 person family that drive Toyota’s. So technically they could enter too.

Of course.. Just no Ford, Chevy, or four-letter words from Stellaris.

Actually, the MUD site event is one of the better sites for editing posting info from sponsors.

I need a little direction. Got a trip to Colorado planned for July 23-31. My better half is going with me, so dispersed camping is out. However, she has agreed to hit some of the trails. We had planned on running the Alpine Loop, but 7-8 hours continuous off road might not be the best idea. Would I be better off trying to run a few of the shorter routes in and around Ouray/Telluride/Silverton, with breaks in the action for lunch in town, etc? I'm just glad she wants to go, so I don't want to ruin her on her first trip out.......

We're staying 2 nights in Ouray, but adjustments can be made if necessary.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Animas Forks is a place where we stop for lunch often. Yankee Boy basin is good to hit from Ouray.

 

Ouray will be absolutely a bonkers madhouse and covered up with SxS and people. Yankee Boy Basin will be too, but it's incredible in there. Governor Basin is less traveled and more technical. Shelf roads in there are exposed and have some pucker factor, but its a nice loop. You'll be right at Imogene Pass, too. Enjoy. It's fantastic.

 

I'll be staying in Silverton Lakes Resort, July 26-31, with my youngest son.

Last I was with a group but went out and did exploring on our own using the book.

 

Twin Peaks was a comfortable resort in Ouray

 

I ordered this book when we started talking about the trip. Though about downloading the app to go along with it, but didn't want to pay the $60.......
