New Mexico Owners BS Thread

That's what I'm looking for at this point. Think I found my problem. Don't have enough thigh support so I'm clenching the hip flexors the entire time I'm driving. All knotted up.

 

Looks like the truck needs a thorough going through. Smelling like I got a hot bearing on one of the engine accessories. Hopefully things will keep together long enough for me to get the shopping list filled and take a week off to get everything done.

 

Does anybody have a nitrogen tank setup for recharging/filling shocks or know of a good place around town that will do it? I feel like my shocks do not have sufficient pressure in them (shipped to me at 170 PSI and am being told 200-250 is the ballpark for Kings.

 

Here are few pix of our wheeling trip up to abq this weekend.

Nick doing a little 3 wheeling.


Nathan giving his spare a little action.




Alex having fun in his Heep.

 

Bummed I couldn't make it.... Looks like it was a good trip!

 

Hey guys new to the forum world. Got a new taco and want to mod it with a 3" toytec lift. I like the $300 3" front coil with rear option. Will this be sufficient for occasional off-roading and daily driving? Will my OME shocks be suitable for this lift?

Would anyone know how to install, or help install, that won't rape me on price. I'm knowledgable in mechanics but have never done a lift.

Thanks guys

 

Welcome. And that is what I beat up on for a couple years before I got my lift. And I can help with install too.

 

Hey SGT look at this site. not sure if you have seen it yet or not.........

Just from the home pg. The site looks awesome.

 

Sweet! That would be greatly appreciated. I can compensate somewhat for time. I am probably going to order sometime this week. You didn't have any problems with your OME shocks? I figure I could ride them till I advance.

 

Nope no problems. And as you talk to everyone else here they will tell you how hard I pushed the stock equipment. Just let me know. my schedule is usually messed up so we will have to figure out a time.

 

Cool, thank you very much. Again it's greatly appreciated.

 

So, I got the Rover all back together but it is in Super Lock mode and the BCM and ECU are not communicating... Stupid Land Rover and there over the top security.

 

Whats up guys!! just got caught up on the latest that has been happening around here. I have been out of the loop. I got a house and have been getting everything situated. Garage was #1 on my list!! haha

 

Guessing need to get a computer to reset the system?

 

They want to make sure crocodiles don't drive off with your Rover while out safari-ing.

 

So any talk about a wrench day? I have a guy in abq that would like to buy my bed rack and would like to knock to birds w/ one stone

 

Yep, getting it towed today...

Right, there are stories of people getiing totally fuck while out off roading. Looking into removing the whole thing later on.

 

I'm feeling like pulling a .45acp but I would need a second vehicle which would then not let me afford to pull a .45acp...

I keep thinking more and more of a diesel BMW X5. Some luxury would be nice for a bit.
