New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Yep that's us. Happy to report that it's now registered in New Mexico so my white plates of shame (damn tourists!) are gone.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion on where to get a cab mount chop done???

 

Dominic at Adaptive Vehicle Solutions (AVS) can get it done. I’m sure there are a few other shops around like TAV but probably gonna cost you an arm and a leg there.

 

Does anyone have two sets of tires that they are willing to sell? I just bought a military trailer today and I really need to replace the tires on it. I also don't want to buy 4 sets of tires if I don't have to.

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a decent shop in Albuquerque to paint the Tacoma? It's an older truck so I'm not looking for a high end job but I'd like to find something a step above Maaco.

 

Howdy from Pie Town,NM.

 

Didn’t the famous pie shop close up?

 

The Pie-O-Neer is still going,new owners. Same good stuff.

 

Need to make a trip with my kids. Welcome!

 

While I am not from New Mexico, I am only an hour from you. I drive through Pie Town quite often.

 

I shop in smallville...LOL Everything is a long ways here.

 

Half of Catron county is Tejas plates now. They won't last. Not many do.

 

Well, it finally happened. First big maintenance issue with my truck. Just left the dealership for a routine oil change and they discovered a significant oil leak. They believe it’s the timing cover seal. Don’t know how long it’s been happening (I’m going to guess at least 10k+), and I dont know how much it is leaking. All I know is that they are quoting $4,400. Does anyone have a shop they recommend in town that could take care of something like this? From what I understand the engine needs to be removed to repair it and the system is quoting a 21 hour job. Any help is appreciated!

 

Lots of good local recommendations here

I've had good luck over a couple of decades with Toyomasters. Chris has been there from the time I started bringing my '93 to them. Recently had them do a driveline oil change on my '15.

 

I gotta get back down there, used to climb at Enchanted Tower near Datil a bunch but have only made it there once since the 'easy' access was closed.

 

Looking to offload some things. Prefer to go to someone local to NM, mainly so I don't need to ship it.

CVT Mt. Rainer RTT. $2000.00 OBO

Brand new Yokohama Geolander set. Size 265.70.18. $500.00 OBO

Let me know if anyone is interested and we can discuss it further. I'll list it all later in the For Sale section. Send me a PM for more info.

 

Hey all,

Wanted to put some feelers out to see if anyone is looking for an FJ. I have a 2014 that I’m looking to sell. I haven’t started an ad or listing anywhere but thought I’d check here to see if anyone is looking or knows anyone looking. Iceberg White, 62k miles, all stock and amazing condition. Thanks - and any thoughts or advice, happy to hear that as well.

 

Recent Tacoma convert, a 2013. Glad to see so many Tacoma fans in NM. I’m in Tijeras. My neighbor has an ‘85, and a 1995 that is approaching 400K. Four other Toyota pickups on the street (11 homes total).

 

Anyone have a bed cover for sale? Diamondback? Oem?
