yeah, I know 'bout where they are. Haven't been out there since that one time. That part of SA has exploded in housing so I don't know what the condition of the area is. Hmmmm, road trip.

how much are the fines or are they giving out first time warnings?

Probably starting at 250$ per violation. After that I was told that they might make you park your vehicle, call a tow truck and have it removed. If a tow can't get in, they might opt to leave it or airlift your rig out. Cost of that? Well let's just say it'd be in the thousands of dollars plus the fine.

lol at airlifting it out. I think most trucker services have (or at least know of) a truck to use for hardcore stuck rigs. They are usually reall sweet but they charge hundreds to get you out.

So...Where to Now ?...I have "The Offroading Itch"...Big time!!!

Same here...I'm going to try to make the Mexico trip in December, but I don't want to wait that long! I put some calls in to some guys I know in and around Austin to see if they know anywhere to go. No response yet.

Just came back from a Den Run...there were alot of Trucks out there, no sign of problems, cops or any nonsence of sort...Had some fun...Till next time...

Considering that the Den made the news last night, it might just take me a little time to let things cool off (in my opinionated idealogy). I do know of a place on private property MAYBE out in Medina. Some hardcore boulder crawling. Non-lifted vehicles would definitely suffer some serious body damage or breakages.

I'll keep looking though.

what kind of news did the Den make ?

Some kids stole three vans from Du-More construction, went for joyrides, took 'em into the Den there by Three Fingers, trashed 'em and then burned them. Some dude found them Saturday morning and called the cops. One of them was still running too.

That's Fucked man...see, shit like that ruins it for everybody else...the thing is there will probably more security there at night but not in the day time...I went around 1 pm or so, and there were alot of people wheeling, did not see any security or cops patrolling the area...

Well there is always Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer. Also my old X is going for a retarded amount, $15,900 which in my opinion is pure stupidity on the dealers part. Got a dent in the hood, rear right quarter panel, broken back right light, fiberglass fenders are in good shape but the pain on them is needing major work from chips, and the calmini rear bumper looks as if it was never attended to. Oh and the front right tire was flat, as it sat up on the ramp which I found funny.

Kevin, you have missed out on another good place and closer to SA. It's Katemcy a little further west than the Slabs.

If you ever get the chance you should come out there and ride shotgun... I know you'd like thta place

Oh yea, glad to see you are still lurking around. Hard to believe you graduate in May... way to go!

Man im ready to get out of here, Lubbock is the armpit of america! More so than getting out of Lubbock im looking forward to being back in a truck soon, and releaving myself of the mod bug I have had since dumping the X.

So are you going to pickup a similar year X that you had or get a brand spanking new one? Y'oughta get one of the old ones and do an SAS on it.

Yeah...we need to do a run up to Katemcy, Boys...one of these Weekends on a Sunday....

I'm in. I still haven't been there. Clint told me how badass it is, and I've seen pics. Can we camp there or close by overnight?

Patrick,
I was thinking more of a brand new titan on some 37's

Whichever one is on 281 keeps having lifted Titans.

Katemcy is closed as is Tree's and Cline Ranches until the first of the year - hunting season.

Is a trip to Barnwell out of the question?

Later,

Mike

Little too far for me...

Going back to the Titans Topic...I keep on seeing a Black Lifted 4x4 Titan on San Pedro...it's a pretty kick ass Titan...

Patrick,
Both my father and I have looked at almost every Titan on the lot at that dealership off of 281. My father doesnt like dealing with them and has stated that he would rather him and myself do the work on the truck not only so its done right, but more so that he and I could save some money and bond doing it. The lift they put on those trucks is the 6" CST on the 4x's and the 8" CST on the 2x's, and IMO its a horrible kit. Also the majority of the truck's they do ARE 2wd =(

Anywho my plans are a Black (I have a thing for black, so yes it will be debaged and black'd out like the X was) LE 4x4 Crewcab with all the goodies(DVD, TV, NAV etc..) 6" pro comp with coilovers, ranchhand front and rear cut and raised (rhinolined), 3" body, custom sliderz and 37's on 20-22" black wheels. Would be more for show, pulling the boat/jetski and commutes to work. Could even be used to tow your rigs to the trail, save ya gas money =) and enjoy the ride. However, my plans are to buy a 00 frontier or X when I myself can afford it and create an all out romper, but currently im tryin to find a job and figure out where i want to go in my life. That is my most important priority.

I should hope so, before buying ALL your Toys on your wish list...

Kev sounds like you have lots of plans. So getcher ass outta school and get to making bucks so you can get into debt like everyone else!
