New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Dang, that is a good deal!

 

getting my truck tinted while I’m down here in Florida ... and saw this gem in the shop

 

Damn that’s nice.

 

Stimulated that economy today. Dominic at Adaptive Vehicle Solutions did an awesome job knockin these out.

 

^^^^^Those look good; simple and functional.

 

All right, boys & gurlz, I have put my hiking boots on and am heading out for a "walk". Let's see if I can make 3 miles on my first outing, into the track-less desert north of my humble abode out at the fringes of civilization.

 

I survived, though the many coyote attacks and rattlesnake den encounters proved to be significant challenges. I was also carried aloft, then released, by a large hawk. Such are the ways of the desert Southwest, as you all know.

I'm going to take the truck along the same route to get an accurate idea of the length of my hazard-fraught-but-rewarding trek.

 

Ya he did a great job just gotta get out and make some use of them.

You’ll have to report back how your adventure went.

 

haha beat me to it but glad you survived the quest.

 

I did. Some yahoos in a big Chevy 4x4 came up behind and made obvious coughing sounds; I'll be packing a large, obvious .357 on my hip on my next walk.

 

...or maybe my lighter and more easily-carried S&W 66 w/ 4" barrel.

 

If you come out to the Puerco to try them (the sliders) out, let me know; I can stay 6' from you just staying in my truck.

 

It was 2.1 miles round-trip, by my truck's odo.

 

Anyone been down near Alamosa Creek? From what I've researched is that this is/was a really cool drive with camping opportunities near the canyon. Story is that a Texas rancher bought surrounding land and has closed the North end of the road.

From Topo maps and Satellite imagery it appears there is a decent cliff that might have had some climbing on it. Mountain Project is flaky this morning, but coordinates should be around. 33°29'01.4"N 107°31'11.7"W

 

My understanding is that is Monticello Canyon and yes it is closed by the rancher. It was even on the news because they gated a county road to do it. You are supposed to be able to pay a fee (not sure to who) to gain access to the road. I've never paid for the permit so I can't verify it.

 

Definitely I think I'm gonna try and get out there this coming weekend, I need to go pick up some coil overs here in a few and get them in the truck so I'll finally have a lift all the way around.

 

What brand are those and where'd you find 'em? Lookin' good!

 

Hey thanks man, they are a custom set from Adaptive Vehicle Solutions here in town. I dropped by and told him what I wanted and he fabed then up.

 

I will definitely check them out!
