New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Nope.

You should see the ones that are downtown on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.......

 

yeah no thanks lol. Even Socorro is less ghetto than downtown ABQ on the weekend.

 

Ya this is very true.

 

Silas, Buddha Yoda says, "wrong way about this, you are going".

Selling it won't solve the problem of attachment. Just have fun with what you got.

Besides, are you going to be able to get what you want for it?

Now, on to business. Any recommended ring & pinion shops? Looking to regear. I got quotes of roughly $400/pumpkin from both 4 wheel parts and Desert Rat. I'm used to paying $125 per at a shop down in Tucson.

 

hahaha Good point on the problem of attachment. However, I don't want to get rid of my "problem of attachment", I simply (or not so simply) need to direct that attachment towards better things. And I believe that forcing myself to sell the truck will be healthy. At least I hope it will....

As for local ring and pinion shops, I can't help you out very much unfortunately... Cloudy and I both re-geared our own differentials. However, I do reccomend ZUK: http://gearinstalls.com/ He isn't local, but he is one of the best in the business and very reasonably priced. It wouldn't hurt to shoot him an e-mail. I learned just about everything I know about re-gearing from reading is gear installs over and over....

 

Serious question guys, what do you think I could get for my truck, and what do you think I should list it for? Insurance runs out Aug 23 and this'll be a slow sale as I don't want to loose too much money......

 

Thanks for the link! Odd thing, the dude is out in Chandler. I guess SE Arizona must have lots of peeps wanting to regear. The shop I used down in Tucson was Western Differential. I have a feeling it won't save any money pulling the diffs myself and shipping them off.

On the value of the truck, no idea. It is a personal build. Maybe ask 20k and settle on 15?

 

hahaha that is odd...... but remember, he specifiacally works on toyota differentials.... his quality is amazing.

 

how many miles?

it's gonna be hard to find the right buyer, I don't think you could get more than 7k or so but it's hard to say. Maybe list it for 9k?

 

they sure are better lol mine is pushing 15lbs

 

how?

 

Damn dude, which pulley are you running?

 

the .25" diameter one!

 

lol yeah? we will see kinda hard to go out when your broke and have a little one.

 

URD special order pulley with thicker tefflon strips and diffrent gears in the charger. aslo a timeing retard helps when you fuel the piss out of it too lol with the MAPECU2

 

Ah okay, that's pretty cool. I didn't know you could get that kinda boost out of the TRD supercharger.

 

ok thanks for the info. and i cant believe your selling the truck! the reasons that you are selling are very respectable reasons though

 

Silas, I'll trade you trucks and you can sell mine . That sucks that your selling your truck.

 

Yeah, that's fine. Just let me know. I won't have the truck until next weekend and then I am moving immediately after, so it will be about 2 weeks before I will have the time. So, please, take your time.

 

SILAS!!!!!!!









wtf.....dont sell your truck dood.
yes, i looked through 3 pages of fail to find appropriately PG (and awesome) you're doing it wrongness just for for you.
you know why i am so scarce from TW sometimes. cause i have forcibly pleateau'ed with my truck. I am not spending any fricking $$$ cause life takes precedence.but i aint' selling it. (that and you dont see me wheeling cause when its kayaking season or ski season, i spend gas only to go out to the river or the monte.....if i have a day off....)

I am with cloudy(and everyone) on this. Even tho its honorable.Don't be all manic.and masochistic.
see,now that you put all that work into your truck,you should just ease up and enjoy it for a while. and save up for a beater DD. cause i can tell you from experience, that time and effort and $$$ wont easily be available until you are stable and set up in your future life that you desire.(which is still a good thing, of course.)
but you know. whatever. break all of our hearts. like cinco. and colin.










...and kevin. sort of. but not really.
