New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Yup. The event was up there too.

They have a great selection of beer

 

Huh?

 

Whoopsie. Tried to recall a conversation from 4 months ago from memory and turns out I got you and @linkgoesnowhere confused from when we were all chatting

 

Is anyone in Albuquerque and wants to help me push a 1988 Ranger onto a trailer? Can't get the truck started and am trying to trailer it home but can't get it on the trailer. Could certainly use some assistance hand pushing it pushing with a vehicle.

Beer will be payment haha.

If so, call at 520-343-0825

Hey y'all,

Texas local here visiting y'alls neck of the woods. Wanted to get some suggestions real quick. We're currently in Albuquerque visiting family and took a couple days to ski in Santa Fe. We were going to go to Las Cruces, but a 2/4 of our group bailed. We're now looking for some easy, scenic trails to do on our way back(ish) to Lubbock. We would be alone with a broken winch, which is why we'd like easy but still off the grid. On a website we we found both La Madera Road and Caja Del Rio. I know nothing of either place besides what Youtube has shown me, which is nothing for Caja Del Rio. Any suggestions on where to go next? Some place we can just veer off a bit and camp would be optimal

 

La Madera is an easy drive, but scenic; no camping. You could also do the Cedro Peak loop/area, mostly easy-peasy. I'm not familiar w/ Caja Del Rio. There's not much once you get east of the Rockies, though. Some folks from your area got with some folks from here & did the Mills Canyon trip a while back, might be kind-of on the way back.

 

Cedro Peak sounds like a good option, I can only find dirt bike videos though and the trails seem pretty narrow. It's all 4WD accessible?

 

Does anybody just happen to have a passenger side 2nd gen spindle they want to get rid of!? Just realized mine is bent in 1/2"... I had a alignment issue coming off the trail last week and did a ghetto alignment to fix it. Been poking around to figure it out and realized today I have the bend. I guess it's a sign I need to drive slower or go full LT haha.

 

There may be some bike-only trails, but there are plenty of truck trails there as well. Not too challenging, IMO.

 

We ended up exploring but not finding any trails big enough for the truck... found 3 different GPS coordinates online. We did La Madera though, awesome scenery.

 

Does anyone have an old functioning laptop they want to get rid of? I need something to tune my truck. Windows 10, 7 or XP will work

 

I'm going to be using a Megasquirt EMS. It uses a program called Tuner Studio.
I wish we could tune the stock ecm. That'd be sweet. My brothers LS GTO is like that and it's pretty simple and effective

 

Totally. My bros car has cam, heads, full exhaust, and spray and puts down over 500hp timing the stock ecu. Thing is wild af.
The only thing I've really seen for the newer 1gr's is the Uconn from urd but it's not for all years iirc

 

So I guess I need a battery any recommendations?

 

waves at all the fellow New Mexicans. I'm in the southeast corner where there's nothin' but rattlesnakes and pump jacks but hi to all you lucky folks in the pretty parts.

 

I've had good luck with Interstate batteries. I use the shop at 1910 1st Street, Mor-Co.

 

Hello! I drove through that area 1 1/2 years ago coming back from Dallas (going south to avoid the ice storms) and it was really sandy & oily. There are some decent dirt roads in the Carlsbad Caverns area, past Sitting Bull Falls & through to El Paso Gap, if you haven't found them already.
