New Mexico Owners BS Thread

or two.

Just got done pressure rinsing it. Forgot to do the engine compartment and have to go back. Tomorrow, I'll take it to Octopus to finish it out. A lot of mud. A lot.

 

That's why I went with leaf springs with my SAS. I can't keep my truck clean even if I tried. Only way is to leave it in the garage an not use it. I live off the pavement and a lot it dirt roads 'round here to get muddy. I mean large chunks all over the truck.
A shot of my work truck that got muddy yesterday and the mud is starting to chuck off now.

 

We did have fun today. Kyle actually did a lot. Really dug the new suspension. Once he gets some recovery points on his truck, we'll start getting him stuck.

 

Nice! Hopefully I will have some time to get out there with you guys soon.

 

Told ya. Doesn't look like it was too bad though.... Looks pretty dang dry in this pic

 

Two big mud puddles on Southern after it turns to dirt.

I guess my aerodynamics are way different than the 2nd Gens. Cloudy and Kyle didn't get any mud on their hoods. I had it all up on the roof and in the bed.

The river bed was dry. We got out past the 1st obstacle and start to climb the ridgeline when the rain started. The mud was caking up on Kyle's tires and Cloudy said there was a big storm cell moving in so we called it a day and headed home.

Once I eat and clean out the truck of all the mud in the cab, I'll sort and post pictures.

 

Best shot of Kyle in action I got from the day:

 

398Mbytes worth of pictures, Kyle. How you want me to get them to you?

 

I was all thinking "Don't go in there."



But he did and did a good job climbing up it:


Cloudy spotting him through a turn:


Kyle got to find out what happens when you have 2WD with a locker in the side of a sandy hill. Cloudy and I had to think differently to get him through stuff. Kyle did a good job and can tell he's learned some stuff and learning new stuff.

Not the best shot but the best one I got showing full stuff in the rear:


Say hello to Mr. Headlight:


Had to fill in a hole:


And step Kyle down:


Working on getting the back end down the step:


Cute little slideshow down the dune:


Closing shot of the day:

 

Kyle, check your underside to be sure they got everything.

Took me $10 in quarters to rinse everything off. The mud just kept coming out from everywhere. Taking it to Octopus tomorrow to have them clean whatever residue is left.

The carwash attendant complimented my truck. Said he loved to see them all muddy because it meant more money in his pockets.

 

Did some trail riding today too!

 

MOAR Pitures of your Tacoma!

Less pictures of Jeeps.

 

I know...

Hard to do when you're the only one with a camera. So I can't take pics and drive at the same time.

 

Tom those are some great pics!! I had so much fun... I was going to back out of that last obstacle buuuut I just said F-it! GAME TIME.... didn't turn out too bad yeah?

Could you send them to me in an email possibly? Best quality that'll allow you to zip'em up..

Thanks for taking pics TomTom!

BTW Brent X2 on more Taco pics.... Have a buddy snap a few of you

 

I was tearing that sand bead up though! Mid Travel is such a huge difference

 

Awesome to see it being used! Able to crank it up at all before? Happy with it so far?

 

No I wasn't so hopefully we can get'r done this week... But the ride was absolutely amazing! I was able to go down the river bed going around 40! Keep hitting my plastic bumper a lot so it'll be great to get that off soon!

But seriously Vince GREAT PRODUCT!

 

Awesome! Glad your enjoying it!

 

yes sir... I'm already thinking I want more lift though... 3" all around would be freaking sweet...
