Calling all G's in Texas

I have been noticing more and more lifted G's on the streets and especially the forums that are from Texas. Is anyone down for a trip to Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls? I plan to go soon as im only 45min from there but it would be cool to get a group together soon. Stock or lifted, anyone is welcome!

I am interested; I will be in Africa until late October however. I have been planning on doing an off-road park trip at some point.

I am 95% complete with my truck, but depending on the type of terrain, may have to throw some 35s on my stock 18s vice 20s.

I am in Houston

I have done the the same, I run a 305/55/20 ridge grappler on the street and a 295/70/18 trail grappler on the trail

Sounds like fun, probably more so later in the year when it cools off... I may have to look at getting a bit more underside protection if we hit any trails rated higher than a level 2.
Let's put the word out and see how many local G drivers are interested.

I think we should be okay on anything up to a level 3. ive been all through the park with much less of vehicles before. Yes, waiting till it cools off a bit would be ideal. So who all is in? :-)

I'll be running some more robust skids by fall hopefully, but don't plan on doing anything very rocky. I'd like to keep my body panels intact

I likely won't be able to join. My fall is pretty stacked since I am out of the country and the truck isn't done, but will stay tuned in so I can link up at some point as I would definitely like to.

I'd be up for a trip down! Haven't been to hidden falls yet and have been wanting to. Keep me posted if this starts to become a reality! I'm mainly on instagram @jacwagn
I also may be able to help y'all with underbody protection. Let me know what you're looking for!
