What a GREAT Saturday! Led a crew of 12 Toyotas on a BIG gravel loop of the Texas Hill Country: 7-100 Series, 1-40 Series "Barney", 1-80 Series, 1-80 Series Maltech Diesel, 1-200 Series and a T100 Tundra. Weather was absolutely perfect (high 50s, sunny with 5-8mph winds). It had rained recently so there was practically zero dust kick-up and the water crossings/splashes were all pretty full. We logged 138 miles of gravel and a BBQ lunch at Cooper's in Mason, TX. Looking forward to doing this each month. Anyone who wants to go is always welcome.

I have the GPX/KML files for the route if anyone prefers to "solo". I would just ask that if you solo the route, do what I do and stop along the way to pick up any cans or bottles you see on the roadside (leave the trails better than when you arrived).

I'll post the drone videos shortly. Once my father downloads all the photos off his camera, I'll post those as well.

Thanks to everyone who made it out this past Saturday: @Austin Hot Shoe, @aljollano, @Cargo1234, @bottombracket, @rscoleman, @Aussiecruiser82, @Riwahe, @marketShark and @Spallet. Really enjoyed meeting everyone!

If you ever make the "short" trip down here, you're always welcome to join :) It's only 1,500 miles or so.....one way ;)
 
I definitely need to know where this is located. We have 5 days of this weekend and week and were trying to decide where to go. This would be perfect.
 
Okay, I need to know what group you're in! I live about 20 minutes from Tx and I've been wanting to do a trip out that way.

I would have totally come along with the family! Is there a Facebook group?

I'm always down to travel, nobody around me are into it, but that kind of trip i'd be taking the Tundra instead of the Cruiser. I have to go through mountains to get to TX and I reckon the 5.7 would fare much better.

I finished installing the suspension and 35s, she's ready to crawl now.

What parts did you use to install those Sequoia headlights? They look sweat!
