New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Hey guys do you know of anyone that does fender rolling in Abq? I want to extend my front fenders but don't want glass fenders. Thanks in advance.

 

Dang I would like to join but I have scuba class that weekend.

 

I hope they aren't teaching it in the Rio...

I'm installing new shocks and a winch this weekend (I hope). Once I'm done, I'll be looking to organize a run somewhere in the following weekends (Apr 5 or 12). I'd like to get off-road before tearing it apart for the flywheel and re-painting the rear-end.

 

Looky da shit that showd up in the mail today:

 

Im thinking about taking a trip into CO sometime in April . But keep me updated, I really want to get out,

 

haha no it isnt. Pool and class this weekend and next weekend we go to Santa Rosa.

 

12 April would possibly work for me. 5 April is my comp over in PHX so I'll mis out on that

 

I just ordered a bunch of parts!!!

There's going to be a lot of wrenching, beating, welding, cursing and drinking coming soon!!!

 

does this rubbing look normal? It is happening on both sides. Driver side is rubbed on outside and pass is rubbing on the inside.

 

I've seen rubbing before but hard to tell from the picture if it is excessive.

Are the springs sitting in the perches correctly?

 

I believe so, but I will need to take a closer look. The shocks seem to be centered throughout the full range of motion. I think it mite just be from the boot?? Seems like alot for the boot but they have been on for 4 years now.

 

If there are no dents in the wall of the strut, it should be ok. Don't know if it is worth disassembling them to paint them. The boot will rub off any rust that might have a chance to form as well as any paint you put on there.

 

When I install my LR UCA I mite investigate further. Is there a wrench day anytime soon? Tomtom, is your truck ever parked at the fire station on Kirtland? I saw a truck that looked pretty similar to yours.

 

I might be out working on the truck this Saturday. Depends if SGT Taco has time to help me install my winch. Otherwise, I'm taking a week off in April to replace the flywheel. Shouldn't take the full week so there might be a day or two in there for others to bring their projects in.

If you want it done sooner, might just ask in the thread if anyone has time to help out on a certain date.

 

I'm pretty sure park next to that truck your talking about everyday in Q lot just to show off a little haha.

 

So first design fell through...


New design. Just a little more aggressive......

 

Is that Lobster's truck?

That's a nice high clearance design. Are the kick outs going to be steps?

 

Yeah Lobsters taco. I'm using it cause the client (not Lobster) doesn't want cut bedsides and mine were so I couldn't use my taco. Yep the kickouts will be the steps. It will still wrap around the sides as well as underneath too. But not too bad for 2 days worth of work. Hopefully have some more pics in the next couple of days.

Lobster and I have talked though and we are going to be putting him together a high clearance rear that has full wrap sides a nd light guards as soon as his warranty is up.

But hoping to finish this bumper and hoping (need!) to finish the trailer upgrades by the end of April for our family trip out west in the beginning of May.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on good summer jobs in Albuquerque? Ill be up for the summer and thought I should start looking

 

So APD strike...?
