New Mexico Owners BS Thread

We just purchased a Scout camper and I need to install air bags ASAP. Does anyone know where I could rent a space/shop in ABQ to install my airbags? Unfortunately I don’t have a place to work on my truck at my house.

 

Hi yall just saying hi

 

Went on a hike and yesterday and came across this family stuck in a mudhole…only took an hour to pull em out

If cross posting is not allowed Mods please delete. But I have a solid 2nd Gen for sale. Strong preference to sell to someone in NM that knows their Tacos.

I am selling a high clearance cross tube for Hammer hangers made by Glorifiedwelder (a TW regular). This offers higher clearance than the straight bar while offering the same frame support.

I am located in Albuquerque NM. Though these can be broken down and shipped. Shipping cost will can be sorted out. Likely $30ish

 

Whats up fellow Yodas.....

Anyone knows of a place that works on Tacomas in Roswell (other than dealership obviously). Need my Taction Control system checked out and a CMC done. Thanks!

 

Care to make a trip to Ruidoso? @STravis @ SOB Fab might be able to help with the CMC.

 

Got a hold of him thanks!!!!!

 

Anyone know the guy from Espanola who got on Matt’s Offroad Recovery?

Anyone have any recs for off-roading near Albuquerque? Just got my truck in October and I'm looking for some places to take it, maybe do some camping. I don't know the area at all, other than going up into the Jemez and tooling around...

I'm not looking for anything crazy, just something to bump and climb around on. Any recs would be awesome.

 

I’m in the East Mountains, and all the stuff I’m familiar with are for dirt bikes, 4 wheelers and the real small SXS.

 

This sub has very little activity. Check this place out!

Zunis, Mt Taylor, east or west of TorC, there's options pretty much in every direction. You got to get away from Abq for most of the stuff that's worth an overnighter. A good one to get your feet wet is FR 144, cuts off 126 going north east of Fenton Lake (now part of the NMBDR). If you take it all the way to Abiquiu it's a good trip with a few challenges, nothing crazy except a bolder field.

 

Sweet, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I went up FR 239 right at the beginning of Guadelupe Canyon (right by the Jemez pueblo) on Saturday. It was pretty rocky but nothing crazy at all. Fun little jaunt. Looking forward to checking out FR 144.

Thank you for the recommendations! I'm from Cruces originally and know a ton of trails out there to screw around on, but nothing by T or C. I'll have to check it out.

 

You guys have any recommendations for a reliable place to change the wife's '21 Camry's oil? Takes more work than my '15 Tacoma (which doesn't get much simpler, really) and I'm feeling lazy. I keep hearing horror stories about Jiffy Lube over torquing pan bolts and other shenanigans.

We're over on the NE side near Paseo & Ventura. If there's someplace close it's a plus.

 

I liked “the garage” on Ladera but they may be booked. Give em a call

 

I just got into ABQ to work at the labs for the summer. I haven't gone on more than new country roads before they can get the gravel down up in MN and some forest roads in a rusted out 96 Jimmy in the Bear Mountains a few years back.

I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'm looking for somewhere to dip my toes or somebody to go who'd be willing to make sure I'm not a dumbass. Anything overnight near a good hike is a plus too since I at least know what I'm doing there.

 

Kinda random but I'm going to have a rear diff pinion seal as well as the e-locker connector that frequently gets broken when opening the rear diff sitting on the shelf in Santa Fe if anyone needs one on short notice. Suitable for a 3rd generation with TRD package.

Hey all! New to Albuquerque, just moved here from Idaho this weekend. Where's the go-to spot for Tacoma folks?

 

Hi all — two-Tacoma owner here (Gen 1+Gen 2) and one who’s had a Toyota pickup as my truck or in the family since 1974 (with a Datsun for a few years in the late 70s).

I’m in the process of relocating from Saint Louis to south of Santa Fe (Galisteo). Should be full time by the end of 2024.
