New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Finally got my N2 Kit pieced together and got my coilovers recharged to where they need to be. If anyone needs a pressure check/recharge, let me know and you are welcome to use the equipment/N2.

 

Just remember that isn't NOS. ;-)

 

sorry, no idea on where to recommend. I keep going back and forth on getting one for my 1st Gen but with 125k miles on it and being stuck with premium, I keep putting it aside for other things.

 

Got a tracking number from FedEx which should mean my flywheel has shipped.

 

Dang it!

 

Haha Check it! Be like silas

You gotta sell your truck first.

 

Well the wife informed me that she is taking me out of town for my birthday(which is Valentine's Day) so I will not be making it to Wrench Day after all. Wheel bearings will not be here in time anyway, but still wanted to make it over there.

 

where do people get stuff powdercoated nicely and for a good price in the Albuquerque area??

 

lol where have yall been he sold his truck and got a 4x4 turcel awhile ago

 

check my build page.. I have the name of the company who powdercoated my bumper... great folks great company

 

I was implying that he can buy it with the money from selling the truck then buy the terc

 

Kyle is carb depleting. He ain't all there.

 

so i looked at your build page and all you mentioned was who welded the bumper on. but i also noticed something about northwest trail innovations. is that it? only company name i could find in connection with the powdercoated bumper

also when i was looking through i noticed your dash lights all changed colors. where exactly do you get in there and scratch them up to make them that color. if i wanted everything on the dash, including the gauges, radio, buttons, etc to all be like white or blue, do i just have to do this to multiple LED bulbs? And where exactly do I access these and is it easy to do?
Thanks!

 

Why powdercoat? If i may recommend line x. That stuff is awesome with a lifetime warranty and color matching if desired. Its located at Menaul and University. Ask for Zach, tell him Adrian sent you.

 

why do you recommend line x over powdercoat? i've never heard of anybody doing it that way. the one quote i've got so far for powdercoating my stock trd wheels a matte black was about $80 per wheel, which really isn't too bad. so do you think the line x place is going to be able to beat that?

 

Its relevant to what you want coated and how long you expect it to last. I didnt realize you were looking to coat wheels.

I am a big fan of line x on certain things. If all you want are black wheels, save yourself $350 and scuff the wheels then buy some rattlecan matte black enamel. Hope these options help.

 

I'll give them a call and see if they recommend the bed liner stuff and how much they can do it for. They done really advertise it on their website, so I'm thinking at this point it's between sanding/painting myself, or powdercoating. Doing it myself with paint would be so much cheaper, but there's no way it will look as good as a professional job powdercoating it. So with that said, any more suggestions for where to go? The quote I got was from Action Powdercoating, and it seems reasonable, but I'd rather be able to shop around a little bit
