New Mexico Owners BS Thread

shit now im the asshole... Im out of it and thought your sig was gavy.... haha my bad bro!

but yeah stay active and if anything we can do a puerco run

 

seaman?

It r like 30 minutes...

 

What exactly is Puerco? or where i guess i should say lol...Im pretty new to offroading so im not looking to do anything too expert..plus im only home on leave for about 2 weeks so itd be a real shit show getting home if i snapped or broke something on my truck haha...

 

If you did break something these guys would get you fixed up in a jiffy. All cool guys.

 

im an idiot... ill admit it haha

its a fun place easy obstacles and a lot of just going fast in the river bead.. my 5 lug 2wd can do 60% of that place so you'll be smooth sailing

 

yea, ive noticed almost anyone thats a member of this forum is pretty legit. The occasional doucher but for the most part, one of the closer knit forums ive ever seen. Im dying to get my truck on some trails or in the open desert..out here in North Carolina, there isnt SHIT! except for the western border of NC... im stationed on the damn coast lol

 

Rio Puerco. On the NW end of town. Drive up Coors to Southern. Hang a left on Southern until it turns to dirt. Keep driving until you see a big dune. That's where the off-road playground starts.

Mostly drive around in the river bed and tackle whatever obstacles you feel like. Can make it as easy or as hard as you want. An easy place to go and much easier to handle in case of bad weather. Can try the Jemez and other areas up North but have to keep an eye on the sky.

 

Awesome thanks tomtom...Im def going to check that out.. Anyone in here graduate from Manzano HS???

 

I went to high school in the Tidewater area. Pretty flat. Pisgah NF is nice but enough of a drive to be a weekender at least.

Meh, close enough.

 

I'd love to go back out after tomorrow. Gotta fix my shit 1st.

This would be the best alternative.

Drive Faster and it won't be an hour.

Puerco would be awesome.

Scan some of the pics in my build. It is a fun area, lots of places to get lost and have fun. Plus if we can get the 5 lugger through........you shouldn't have an issue.

Cedro, Puerco, Farmington, Soccorro, and Cedro are all great places.

 

Cloudy good luck tomorrow with fixing the truck!

 

Thanks man. Here is the list......

Pull wheels/tires.
Pull spindles/LCA's.
Pull Frt Bumper.
Pull front driveshaft.
Front Diff and CV's.
Jack up engine.
Pull out frame, hopefully.
Check measurements on both sides, adjust as necessary.
Weld in frame crack.
Cut gusset supports out of 1/8" and weld.
Make passenger side match.
Reverse of everything else above.

Romp through desert behind house.

 

I have to work. Wish I could come and join and get to meet you guys and learn new tricks. I have lots of questions now that I am into this truck more than I was when I owned previous models

 

I will be out there tinkering all day. I also have a 50' LED bar showing up on Wed that I'll need to wire. But pm me your number and maybe we can go out this next week or so. Just let me know.

 

Damn that's a list for sure. Would be nice to learn some new things. Sometime this month I'll be retrofitting my headlights. So that will be new for me, hopefully I don't jinx myself and fuck up

 

You should be okay. I still need to pull mine and black them back out. You should be okay as long as you take your time.

 

Ya I figured but then again I'm cutting a 3in hole in the back
