40. I wish the 60 was finished. I'm all loaded and ready to go.

No good for me, babysitter fell through. I do believe some rover guys are still planning to join.

So a what time in Sears....

Ok, y'all. Here's my pics from yesterday. If anyone has any pics of my truck in action they'd be greatly appreciated. I got zero of mine yesterday. My kid did manage to capture the sound of my crunch on tape though. Sounds pretty cool.

It'll take me a day or two to get vids uploaded.

There should be pics of most everyone's trucks in there at one point or another.

I get the award for best return trip gas mileage!

Thanks to USAA Roadside Assistance, it didn't cost me a anything to have my truck hauled from Bouldercreek Ranch in Marble Falls to a garage a mile from my house in San Antonio. Sweet!

What happened? I had to bail @ 2, so I did not get a chance to say adios to everyone. Then, I see the pics Tony uploaded (thanks Tony!) with your hood up.

That was a good trip. That place has a lot of potential. We (Jody, Sean, and I) were talking to the land manager Jeff about work weekends. He said come on up. We went with him to scout some locations. Some good stuff out there.

We even cut a new trail. It's called Can Opener. It has a rock sticking out that tore up Sean's fender pretty good.

Jeff was also telling me they have plans to put in lodging and RV spots.

We need to help these guys anyway we can. Good wheeling/camping/hiking/swimming one hour from Austin is priceless.

jeffxlh · 12-16-07, 08:08 PM

Sorry I missed out. Sounds like you all had a good time. I'll make the next one. Did anyone camp? Just wondering what the facilities are like, although it is close to home.

The creek that ate everything but the 40s. I should have some video up later of them going around (over?) that tree.

Did any of you get a chance to scout downstream from that entrance? I walked down it a bit. There was a serious drop-off down that way. 3' or so. Someone at one time drove it looking at the rubber left on the ledge.

rrdogma · 12-17-07, 10:44 AM

Here are a few more.

trd55 · 12-17-07, 11:09 AM

Here are my pics. Not much different than others. I do have some vid of the "left turn" around "The Tree"

Pics and Video

I am still not sure if I would have made it up the hill if I had stayed on the gas. Anybody get any pics???

BrettinSanAntonio · 12-18-07, 10:26 PM

The problem ended up being the EFI Relay. Swapped it with a new one and no more problems. Now I carry a spare.

Was it just not engaging?? Did you do any other tests on it???

Over the counter part?? or Toyota specific

BrettinSanAntonio · 12-19-07, 06:57 PM

The inside of the relay was burnt and intermittently shorting out. It worked fine a few times then would short. I found a cheap replacement at Advance Auto for $12 and ordered a Toyota part for permanent. I've not had a problem since replacing it. I can't find anything else that might cause the problem. Everything looks good. I’ll keep the cheap one for the spare.
