New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Maybe I'll check it out this weekend!

 

PS thanks to whoever recommended Ron at A1 equipment. Place was in the war zone lol but he was awesome! He noticed a loose bolt on my UCA and basically saved my life lol. As well as did a decent job on my cab mount chop

 

Sup Borquenos? Roadrashchic - thanks again for the Westin hook up; it's looking good on Tabby!

This Saturday, 20 May, I'm organizing a TTE NM meetup to head out to Mt. Taylor (near Grants) for the day. If any of you all would like to join us, please let me know. We will rendezvous at the Cracker Barrel on I-40 and Coors at 0800, then head west to Grants.

Also, the following weekend we are slated to have a massive group meet for a trip up into Abiquiu. There will probably be close to 20-25 Tacos that weekend.

 

Looks good, no?

 

Also, if anyone is interested in our group and is on Facebook, just do a quick search for TTE NM and you will find us. Great group of folks, folks!

 

what does TTE mean?

 

nice! now get rid of that chrome grille

 

TTE = toyota truck enthusiast. hahaha

what time? and whats the agenda? wheeling!?!?

 

A friend and I ran it in a raft from Bernalillo to Alameda two weeks ago at 4900. It was a great day. There were lots of people on the river and we saw three capsized canoes. We recovered one of them and tied it up in a back eddy.

I guess there is a company in Bernalillo who rented canoes to a bunch of beginners and many of them lost their boats and had to be evacuated. It is definitely prime time, though.

That spike to almost 7K cfs on the 10th is insane. I would have loved to see it that day. We walked the dogs in the bosque near Bridge today and large portions of the forest are flooded... so much so that we had to cut our walk short.

 

I HATE chrome! It's on the to do list. My friend has a chrome grille she's gonna sell me on the cheap so I can redneck plastidip it for the time being. I do want to get my hands on a sport grille though.

I've debadged Tabby, and my first piece of armour is going to be a rear bumper with a swing out. That will rid Tabby of all that nonsense chrome.

 

We will meet up at 0800 at Cracker Barrel on Coors and I-40. From there we are going to head west to Grants and meet up with anyone NOT coming from ABQ. Once we are set we will head up the mountain. The peak is above 11,000 feet and my plan is to head there. It's been 28 years since I've been up there so IDK what we will encounter. There is a fire look-out tower at the top and magnificent views. This group will undoubtedly be smaller than the group heading to Abiquiu the following weekend, but fun nonetheless.

 

Nick, I'm wondering why they aren't holding more water back in Cochiti Lake; I thought that's what it's there for.

 

Anyone going to be out in Red River or Taos over memorial weekend?

 

may 19th and it's snowing hard up here in LA..

 

Good for le fishes too. Maybe less drying this year! Meaning hopefully less long ass hot days on the river saving stranded endangered fish

 

Looks like it never snowed....

 

Sucks being a fish technician and working next to my least favorite thing in the whole world.. mosquitos.

Im going to buy like 4 thermacells and attach them to my arms and legs so I don't get bit. Just thinking about it makes me antsy haha

 

Same here haha

Yeah! A couple people had them on the river for San Juan trip and when we got to camp the mosquitos didn't touch them... they touched all of the rest of us. And for $20, wouldn't be bad to try and also don't have to soak myself in Deep Woods big spray as much

 

Both Toyota dealers in Abq are owned by Larry Miller. They both suck. I used to take my cars to Billys on San Mateo but he died last year so I don't what to do.

 

Does anyone have a 17" steelie spare they'd want to sell? Or, which junkyards would you recommend trying for a Toyota rim?

Just got four SEMA concept wheels and will need to figure out the spare situation since I'm moving up from 16" to 17" rims.
