Any good overland trails in central Texas? (1 Viewer)

[adrenalinejunk8]

I've been to Hill country and Hidden falls. Was wondering if any other trails out there in central Texas area. TIA.

Other than the Hill Country Overland Route I can't think of much worth noting. 96-97% private land makes for very little in the way of public use trails. I'd suggest a trip to Big Bend before it gets too hot or possibly a beach weekend down at PINS or Matagorda.

Yeh, I went PINS in December and loved it. Might be planning a trip to Big Bend in the near future. Thanks for the info!

You can always run the roads in the Sam Houston National Forest but it's nothing spectacular.

Some said Big Bend, but I want to point out that Big Bend Ranch State Park is where you want to go for long, rugged, unmaintained road. There is like one challenge in the National Park.

Yes, the state park is leaps and bounds better than the national for actual off-roading. Just be prepared to **** your paint, you'll need to set aside a lot of time or $500+ to get it restored correctly.

Yeah, Texas pinstripes for sure. My significant other is only willing to spot for rocks not scratchy plants. Seeing how I have been through this, I'm wondering how $500 could help? Respray?

You could take the $500 and get some clear wrap installed on the sides.

$500 is what I was quoted to get them out, kind of a entry level paint restoration. There's always a vinyl wrap or the Rhino Skins options but you'll never stop it fully. The brush out there scratches the molding around the windows and the headlights too.

Interesting ..hadn't thought about the molding. Was thinking I would do a wrap in a few years.

Are you TX folk signed up for Events - Lone Star Land Cruisers - https://www.lslc.org/events/? I am and it would be cool to see some more 200's there.

If we weren't going to HF/MF the following weekend I'd try to make this but we will have to miss it this year.

Hands down the best Toyota event in Texas

@ajordan1975 it sounds like you've been before, this is my first year. I'm trying to decide if I prep the truck for pinstripes in the morning, is that a concern at Katemcy Rocks?

I’ve been multiple times, but was always in my old crawler. so I had no real regard for body damage and always chose the hard trails. Never did the “overland” part of the event but sounds fun. Pick your lines and you’ll be good. Pinstripes aren’t really an issue. It’s the rocks.

I wouldn't expect much in the way of pin stripping out there, more like rocker damage and broken axle shafts, etc. lol. The rocks out there are like sand paper.
