Beef Nachos’ Helga Build and B.S.

Excellent work, keep it up!

Who doesn’t think about nachos constantly?

 

Too bad it gets rounded down to 4.0 when I graduate.

Still stoked

 

Congratulations

 

Thanks, one thesis project to go! Perfect time to graduate

 

Congrats man!

 

Finally got around to my front diff. fluid swap. It’s a much bigger pain with the armor on

30k is finished up!

 

I drop my skids and do the transfer case at the same time.

 

I dropped my front skids and completely forgot about the t case. I even ordered enough for that and the wife’s 120k service.

It was hot in a rough parking lot and I’m on 2 hours of sleep, I’ll take what I can get

 

You still accomplished a lot. My skids I can leave the front on to pull off the back 2 to get the the transfer case. I would expect yours to work the same so at least you hopefully dont have to do any extra work.

 

PALO DURO CANYON STATE PARK / ALBUQUERQUE, NM
11.25.19 - 12.2.19
​

The wife and I decided to make a road trip out of a family Thanksgiving at my sister's in Albuquerque. I'm excited to go back and explore more of the canyon, but the drive there was monotonous.

We arrived right as the sun was starting to set.


She made me get a photo because 'I'm never in any of them'.


Potatoes are a camping staple for us.


Steak, sausage, potatoes, and veggies for dinner!


Dinner finished up just in time for us to catch a beautiful sunset over the ridge.


The temperature also dropped to 30 degrees overnight and the wind kept the floor of the tent freezing cold. I'll need to look into some sort of insulated mat for winter camping.


I snagged one more shot of this babe before heading out.


The drive from Amarillo to Albuquerque is a rough one for the 3rd gen. with stock gears. It's a slight uphill grade the entire way, so gear hunting at 3500 rpms became the norm. There's also a high wind area on the same stretch just after you enter New Mexico, making it that much more difficult (with the tent acting like a sail). We finally made it to her place at the base of Sandia Peak.


The snow really came down two days later, fairly surprising for the time of year.


One of my nephews started a snowball fight and she took his side.





We enjoyed the snow for the two days it was there, but it quickly melted before we left.


I love a good grainy black and white photo!


It took us 10 hours to drive straight home, but this was a trip for the books!

 

great pics man! ​

 

Thanks, I've had a camera for over ten years and I'm just starting to play around with it.

 

Same here! I've only had mine around seven years.

Looked like a sweet trip. I love seeing it!

 

Only 5 months late to post

 

Great pics makes me miss ABQ I grew up there.

 

Better late than never

 

Thanks, I love it there. We wanted to hit some of the national land, but didn’t have time

 

Next time you go for some good technical desert stuff there is a suburb called Rio Rancho, a road called Southern blvd take it all the way to the end it’ll turn into the Rio Puerco abolsutetly so much fun out there.

 

Nice pics. The Amarillo to Albuquerque is never fun. I've done it a bunch and hate it every time.
