The Devils Den off Culebra and 410 is supposed to be a pretty hairy 4x4 place.

 

[chris360hawks]

Back in the old days, I used to drive my 1988 Toyota 4x4 up the hill off of Judson / Nacogdoches. Back then there was a castle like building up on the hill and now it's a park so the climb can't be made anymore. It was a hell of a climb I can say that.

I also used to take my 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 up some winding trails off Kyle Seay road. I'll add a pic later.

That is a heck of a hill. My son is into 4 wheeling and they have been going somewhere out by the Dominion, also they have been doing some water stuff off 1604.

Also, back in the day off roading used to be pretty damn good near the UTSA area. I used to go with friends in areas where Valero is now and also some housing divisions directly across from UTSA. Also, off Kyle Seay Road. I believe all those areas are developed now.

Here are a few pics:

Thanks for the info (and the pics) Josepha.. Just goes to show how damm rocky SA is! I used to go out off of Kyle Seale Parkway also, and it was ROUGH! ROCKY! I had no idea that the area that you took the pics as was developed now, but I would not be surprised. Seems like everywhere is developed in SA these days.
I have never been off-roading near UTSA, but I HAVE seen some dirt roads leading off-road near the bridges around there. I need to check that out. I will only go down roads that seem to be fairly open though, as I have scratched the paint on prior trucks going down roads with "little branches" sticking into the road too many times before. You REALLY gotta beware of those "little branches" they will leave BIG *** scratches all the way down the side of your truck!
I need to check out the area near the Dominion... SATundra- can you please post up some more detail about how that is/ and how to get there? I would even be willing to meet some of you guys also, if you know of a good place to go..

Nope... never heard of them, and never been. Do you actually drive your truck in the mud? If so, I am OUT, as mud will KILL your truck! I learned that with my old Mazda B2600 that I had when I was in high school...

 

[5.7texan]

yea its drag racing on mud. Ive never done it, But i would like to try it once. the just set about 10 sprinklers under my truck to get it all off... speaking of mud I have some still under there from work last week. Im gonna go take care of that right now. then take it to the dealership for my new driveshaft.

Haha, funny you mention these trails as they are right behind my house! We used to go on those trails weekly on dirt bikes, four wheelers, go karts, trucks, you name it. The trails are really nasty now after being washed out by the rain, and traffic. The trails are good for rock crawling/hill climbing type stuff. Below is a pic of my 72' C10 that I accidentally backed up over a boulder. You can see the trail conditions behind my friend, as he is posing behind the boulder I ran over. Unfourtanetaly the city got wind of people like me tearing it up on these trails and now most of the entrances are blocked off (there are still ways to get around, don't think a small fence is going to stop me)! Some good places for mudding are Culebra Creek at 1604 & Culebra and FM 471 & Kallison Lane. Below is a pic of a Wrangler we got stuck in the mud off of FM 471 & Kallison Lane.

Check out Toyota Territory Off-Roaders Association (TTORA)

You can find out everything you could ever want to know about wheeling We go out on runs all the time and welcome anyone even though we are technically a Toyota club...

See ya on the trails...

1604 and 1-10 the NW corner where the no-tel motel 6 is and olive garden. It's pretty fun, there's a few acces points, my fav is from i10 acces heading towards 1604, there's a steep decline (pretty interesting climb up when it's raining). Haven't taken the tundra but my rams been down there several times. Can even go undr 1604.

As to the urban sprawl, yeah it sucks, even out on 471 it's being developed, pretty soon nothing but subdivisions will be out all the way to 211.

Oh well, off to buda to see if I can find anything good at cabelas.

 

[tazeme]

I'm reviving a dead thread....I'm in the San Antonio area and looking to get into some local truck meets....I have some car events I attend as well....

 

[Cabby]

I'm in Laredo, about 150 miles south of SA. I can meet in the middle possibly or maybe even go all the way up there.
