Hello, new to the Austin are and we just bought an Xterra. with all this lovely wet weather I thought it would be a great time to try out the 4x4, I saw a post mentioning somewhere off Parmer.
can anyone give me a general idea where? And is it a legal place to go?

LonghornXterra (Jon) and I (Kraig) are going out this afternoon if you want to join up... I have a client at noon, then we should be heading out after that (1 or 2ish)... give me a call, I'm gonna try to get one or two more people together... 775-9613

lets go on sunday.....

Ok... Sunday at noon... meeting place to be determined... probably somewhere in the 183/Cap of TX area... gimme a call if you're interested...

Whenever you are in the San Antonio area, there's a place called "The Den" where most 4x4er's go to play...it's just a flood zone area with all types of trails to go on...

ya know, I know of a few places but i'm waiting to hear of other suggestions from austin people. I've asked this before and unfortunatly didn't get much of a repsonse.

Because you're only 2wd and we don't want to be responsible for you getting stuck and/or damaging your little truck!

Wow, Kraig, you are an asshole

Ah, he knows I'm kidding! He actually did pretty good for a 2wd... picked out some pretty good lines... only 1 bad one and wound up with a little body damage... ... but like I said before, I waive all liability and responsibility!

yeah we wouldn't want the little 2wd sliding into say... a tree. Hey it beats getting hung on on some rocks But as we quarrel Kraig we have to remember... it was YOU who pulled out the big bad chevy. shoulda seen the country boy's faces.

Hey, i still say that was a good line, it was the tires... blah blah blah BS BS BS.

a Z71 being pulled by a Xterra, everyones dream!!!! well everyone but Z71chris.

It was cool to be part of....them boys felt so small after that.

Jon, I agree that your tires suck... but just think, when you finish college and get your badass job, I'll be following you around the trails cuz your truck will be better than mine! (maybe :p )
I was real happy to have that be my first time using the winch! Guess I need to put my Chevy Recovery Vehicle sticker back on!

it looked like the winch did the work from the pics to me.. of course size doesn't matter since a jeep has winched me before. it's not the size of your rig... BTU it certainly is the size of your winch.. lol
and I gotta say.. were you really leaned up against that broomstick of a tree?!

hell I've had my gloating time to let others.. the chevy towing the ford up X-Way.. can't tell me that's not a good notch in the belt of Chevy Vs. Ford for me.

and I dont' see winchin as a bad thing. I see it as a way to find your limits. now if ya keep doin it over and over and over.. say they get stuck every weekend.. well yeah then it's a bad thing. push my limits as far as I can and in order to that I have to go beyond the limits.

besides scratch adds character.. chicks dig character

ya never know.. some people are looney enough to go off-roadin on street tires. I've seen it. of course I've seen a Dodge Neon offer to help get me unstuck when I wasn't even stuck. there's some REAL funky stuff in this wold

Yeah... the gound was a little too wet where I was stopped and I just need a little something to keep me in place... it worked out fine...

it worked so that's all that counts!

I live off of Parmer and I would definately like to know where this place is over there. I am relatively new to Austin myself and I am still looking for places to go 4 wheelin.

If you're heading north on Mopac, exit Parmer and make a u-turn... go right at the light (Park Bend Road, I believe)... follow that until you have to go right... follow that straight down to the baseball fields and you are there... if you wait until next week I'll go with you... --Kraig 775-9613

Next week sounds cool to me kraig. I will gove you a call then. thanks.

Dammit, Andy... you were s'posed to give me a call... maybe I wanted to go too! Anyway, I think most of us are heading up to Barnwell on Saturday... why don't you come along and caravan with us?

Sorry Kraig this has been a crazy week with work and all. I would love to head up to Barnwell this weekend, but i think i am going to have to wait until after tax season before i can go with you guys. It's all good though. I will catch up with you all next week. let me know how it is.

Just as an FYI our spot off of Parmer that was good for muddin is no more. I went there today and found that it is blocked off by stakes and barbed wire. That really stinks. I guess we are going to have to find a new spot. Any ideas anyone.
