    For the Chile Challenge, or the CO Jamboree? Or both?

    Moms (as a demographic group) will be far less inclined to ride in your FJ now.

    The Chile Challenge. Need to get out of the house and that should be a good time to do it.

    Anyone interested in a side job? My business is blowing up and I need some help! Right now it's temp, but potential for more. Would be Saturday's and even a couple week nights if your up to it. I will train as required, but the work is not too complex. Will include:

    - grinding peices as they come off the plasma
    - running the plasma table
    - more grinding (this is the thing I need the most)
    - fixture prep
    - boxing parts

    I just really need another set of hands and can teach you some stuff too.

    And yes it pays. Shoot me a PM for details!

    @MojaveMadman

    Would you be willing to bend me up and engine cross brace in a week or so?

    Sweet. I'll let you know what size bushings I end up getting and then we can figure out a time for me to come by. Thanks.

    Hey guys, I have been a lurker on this thread for a while. I am located in southern Colorado, Alamosa specifically. I work a ton in northern New Mexico during the summer, 10-15 weeks a year. Mostly in Carson and Santa Fe national forest, with a small mixture of the Taos Plateau.

    I am having an issue with my 3rd gen 4runner and there aren't any toyota, or Japanese vehicle shops close to me. I am going to be in Santa Fe next week and I was going to try to get it looked at by the dealership there. I have a co-worker who took their truck there and they ended up $500 out of pocket and they still had the problem they went in with.

    TLDR: Does anyone have any recomendations for a shop in or near Santa Fe? Or should I just go to the dealer? Any leads are much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    These guys used to be top notch when I was a regular in Santa Fe. I'm sure they're as qualified as the dealer.

    Do everything you can to avoid the dealer in SF. Unfortunately I bought my truck from them and it was the worst experience of my life, (you can view my complaint on the BBB website about them). If you make it down to albq, let me know; I have a guy who owns a shop here that works on lots of tacomas, he's fair and does excellent work.

    Thanks for the heads up on the dealer. Bummer that happened to you.

    I am not near ABQ a lot, but if I get desperate enough, nothing says I won't hit you up!

    I didnt see this, either. If it doesn't work out, let me know, I've got some highway train 265's... obviously not 245's but they're basically car tires on my truck.

    Any of you guys in NM recommend a shop where to install a lift kit and wheels for my 2013 TRD Sport? Only lookng for about a 3" lift from stock.

    Oh, I am Los Alamos, so something not too far appreciated.

    Thanks.
