    Pictures to come when I get time but I wanted to pass along to everyone that Steve at SCL Automotive on Northern in Rio Rancho hooked me up. Very happy and I would recommend his shop for those who need professional help. Thanks!

    I thought I saw a white taco in there recently. I could have welded those up for you too. But he does do amazing work at a pretty reasonable price.

    Good times off-roading today. Plenty of cameras out on the trail so hopefully some pictures to come. Mine won't be up until CenturyLink fixes my interwebz.

    Silas, this was an epic trail run that will be talked in hushed. reverential tones as well as loud, obnoxious drunken ones.

    I used the front locker on a few occassions and not on a few others. Made things so easy. Then got to air up with the compressor which was quite fast with the 33s. I need to get a different chuck though. The ARB one is pretty useless.

    The desert was so green down there. At one point I got the feeling I was in Ireland. A bit ticked at CenturyLink because they haven't fixed my internetz or I'd sit up all night posting pics.


    And NO HOTDOGS IN THE WATER!

    What's all this talk of food? Hotdogs and potato's??? I plead the fifth... I mean, I don't know what your talking about...

    I'm still wondering how I couldn't have been on the main trail when there is a fence to my left and to the right... Ohh I got it now...it's all the hot dogs fault...

    Double check it but should be magnaflow part no. 15811 for the full cat-back kit. I spent some time on Ebay and found a shop with a buy it now price of $380.

    POE-TAY-TOE.


    What a fun run. Glad you made it out and finally got to meet. Hope you get the CB sorted out. If you make it up to ABQ, I'd be happy to take a look at it.

    That is exactly what the very nice CenturyLink phone technician had me do 5 times before they gave in and ok'ed sending me a new modem. I'm hoping the new modem will fix it but thinking, deep down, I'm SOL and should switch to another service provider.

    That run was amazing! Just got the kids down and truck unloaded. That ridiculous rain along hwy 52 washed my truck pretty good.

    Whole family had a great time. Put over 385 miles on the truck today and it was worth it. Might have pics up tomorrow.

    I think the road back had about the same number of water crossing as the trail... That rain and flooding was pritty good.

    ya I hear very expensive for tv and internet, and thats if there was any other good providers out this way. I know in the east coast of florida we had like 5 providers to choose from. I atleast had the choice of basic cable but not with centrylink or suddenlink

    We got out of the canyon at the right time. Stopped when we hit pavement on NM 52, aired up and started driving and it dumped. Was nice getting the truck washed after the run.

    So it sounds like you guys had a good time! I went last month and I was a little worried about flash flooding b/c of some big clouds in the area, but luckily they missed us. Did you guys get hit with anything? Did you hike up to the warm springs at the end by the "box" side? Knowing Brent, he should have a ton of good pix to post.
