New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Definitely an option. Probably going to end up taking too long deciding, get caught in a rainstorm and then watch the rust grow.

 

haha wouldn't that be a bitch! after all it is new mexico where we experience all 4 seasons in a span of 24 hours!

 

I posted in the LEO thread too but if anyone wants tickets to the raffle to show support let me know and PayPal me. Supporting a great cause. I expect most of the NM guys out there, tell your buddies if they are not on here too.

 

I'd like to be there if I can get shift coverage.

 

so guys, I am in a bit of a pickle. I bought and installed the fox 2.5 DSC coilovers with all pro UCA's, all pro expedition leafs and fox 2.0's in the rear. from fender to ground I have a three inch difference. I know the expo leafs give 3 inches of lift and maintain the 3 inch lift with atleast a 500lb load. my Dilemma in this..... I am kind of disappointed with the stance of the truck. I know I can crank the coils up. Im just wondering if you guys would recommend this. I don't want to bottom my shocks out. What would you guys recommend? let me know your thoughts.

 

That would be awesome if you can go. If anyone can go that would be awesome...

How much preload are your coils at now? And maybe ask @jberry813 what he thinks.

You gonna come out wheeling on the 27th?

They came preset at 2.5 inches. I am just afraid of cranking them up and then bottoming out and not having the flex. I will shoot him a pm.

as for the 27th im in!

 

got it out a little today, now its time to sky it over the end of southern lol

Sweet!! See you the 27th. Get whoever else you can to come too. And I have almost 3" of preload on mine without any issues. But I would let the springs settle out a little bit before you worry too much.

Looks amazing buddy. How is the clearance from the tire to fender on the rear?

 

pretty tight lol will run along perfect full compressed. but at that point the springs are at a negative arch. for being just j59s and 12" kings it has a surprisingly good amount of travel.

 

It looks great and been following the build. Looks well thought out. You gonna try to come out the 27th?

 

thanks! the rear shocks towers were a little bit of a pain, i like how it turned out. and to the memorial run right?

 

Yeah the one for Officer Benner. I put the info toward the top of the page. No one posted that they were gonna go so I wasn't sure if anyone saw it.

 

my brother said i should go, we would take out crawlers, he'll take his and ill bring the taco since my crawler is out of comish for a while lol ill see if i can go into work late. wanna show my support also!

 

its also on facebook on new mexico offroad a bit. apparently a large amount of people will show

 

You should. I don't have Facebook so I had no idea. But awesome that a ton of folks are going.

 

Hey guys, is 75w140 diff fluid a good idea? Doing my gears this weekend and the tech who is helping said he uses it in jeeps as a "heavy" duty unlike 75w90 as regular duty. He isn't scamming me for more money he just has extra on hand so he is giving it to me. Oh maybe ill be back in NM soon

 

I saw a nice Tacoma in Ruidoso today. It was a second gen access cab with SCS Stealth 6 wheels and a TRD bedside decal with a zia symbol. Was it anybody in here?

 

What color was it??
