New guy from West TN

[elverde.t4r]

Hello fellow Toyota enthusiasts! I was recommended to join by CowboyTaco from 4runners.com 's forum.

I've pretty much driven Toyotas as long as I've been driving, first being a MINT red '92 ext. cab 4x4 pickup I got when I was 15 that I was only able to have for about a year before some idiot made a left turn across my lane and totaled her, honestly I'm still sick over it haha! Since then I've driven a '00 Camry into the ground, an '03 double cab prerunner Taco, briefly a '15 double cab prerunner taco, and now my current shitbox turtle '97 4 cyl. 5spd 4x4. New-ish to wheeling, but always looking for trails. Glad to be here!

Welcome to TOR. Sounds like a good excuse to setup another trip to the Ozarks to help show you what not to do on the trails. Also no jumping campfires unless you are @bakerla

Funny you mention this, cause that's exactly what we were talking about when I pointed him to the two threads here.

...we never did find the toothbrush inventor...

A spring trip into the area would be nice.

Absolutely, I'm itching to get the High Water Mark Trail under my belt, and the write-up about it on here is one of the first pieces of info I found on it. Great job on it!

Hopefully by spring I'll have my suspension lift too.

I need to get out and get some more!

DIY sleep/storage setup and Outbound Nevada molle panel.

Nice setup with the cargo area. I keep making excuses for not doing something with my 3rd gen's cargo area. How do you like the window panels?

 

[CowboyTaco]

I've also been wanting to do the Nemo tunnel. That could be a good in-the-middle for us since I'm in N. GA now.

Thanks! I was dreading building it, but my girlfriend and I knocked it out in a weekend and it was a big relief.

I love the molle panel, I went with driver's side only to try to prevent worsening my passenger side blind spot. They're super rigid, and Outbound NV makes them at a MUCH better price point than Rago or any others I'd found. Good people to deal with too, always helps.

Get out of my head! I'm itching to get to Nemo too, I wanted to swing thru it on my way back from VA last month, but just wasn't up for the detour when it came down to it. There's also a Kentucky adventure route I've been wanting to check out.

For some reason, I think @tex and @tx_shooter may have done the KAT trail.

There were some reports a few years back of people sabotaging (like strips with nails and other hidden objects) along the KAT trail by locals who didn't like it being used as an off-road trail. I haven't heard any of that lately, so hopefully that isn't an issue any longer.

It was the K trail, in southern Oklahoma. Not in Kentucky.

@Silverback needs an excuse to get his truck and booshi trailer out of their pampered garage spaces.
