New Mexico Owners BS Thread

I love my 18 TRD Pro MT. Just enough mods to make it worthwhile, and since I got it up in Utah, it was a good price.

 

Does anyone in the ABQ metro area have an ECGS needle bearing removal tool I can either borrow or buy off of you?

 

I

Probably to far but I have one in Las Cruces that you could borrow.

 

That’s a decent ways. Could you mail it to me in a small flat rate usps box? I can mail it back when I’m done. I’ll pay both ways of course.

Or if you wanting to sell it I could buy it from you instead

 

I would be fine with letting you borrow it. I still need to use it for my truck when I do my lift. How long would need to use it? DM if you would like me to send it.

 

Have you guys seen what UPS is driving during this crime ridden holiday package season??

 

Nope. Any hints?

 

Usually it's a U-Haul. Perfect target.

 

A tactical would make sense.

 

A Penske rental truck.. Maybe they are just slammed or UNM area sucks for package stealing. Fooled me, I thought someone has just been moving in the past few days



Thinking of leaving a box of dog shit on my porch for those stealing bastards though

 

According to APD they will have bait packages set with gps tracking inside.

 

Look into detailing paint on youtube. There are some really good how-to videos.

For my daughters 94 Pickup we are getting rid of a really bad prior paint job using 80 grit sand paper, primer, then tintable raptor liner. (We only have the bed done thus far and happy with the results) Now my daughter wants to start spraying vehicles, but she does not fully grasp how much prep work was required....

 

Same thing in Santa Fe, both fedex and ups are running the Penske trucks in my neighborhood.

 

Perimeter of claymore mines around the porch!

 

Alright boys, after a took few years off from the yota world to play in the diesel truck stuff. I am looking to get back in and build a family battlewagon for some wheeling trips with the kids. Looking to get a 2 or 3rd gen 4runner or a fj80. Plan is to get it done on the cheap and start doing some NM adventures with you guys again, as well as the alpine loop and other CO trails. Let me know if you finds some cheap runners!! Thanks boys!

 

oh hai! welcome back!

 

There was a 94 4runner on CL the other day for $1600 where they claimed it needed a waterpump. It ran but would not drive it mre than a few miles... I'd want to tear into it seeing if that is all that is wrong knowing NM CL.

FJ80 will be more difficult on the cheap.

Myself I'm on the lookout for 89-94 pickups or 1st gen tacomas mostly regular cabs. I'd like to have something that could survive from NM to Oregon and back along with doing the Gambler 500 up there....

 

Nice, i had a 91 fj80 almost for 2K but it needed a lot of work to the front axle. I got sniped by another dude, oh well. There around, I have had a 3.0 before not that excited about them but they last a long time if taken care of.

 

here is one https://pueblo.craigslist.org/cto/d/81-toyota-truck/6765960204.html

 

Thanks Tom!! I look forward to some more trips!! Looks like you got a FJ..Nice!
