New Mexico 4Runner Owners Thread
 

Since the social group feature is so unreliable and useless, I figured a good old fashioned thread would be the best way for us NM guys to stay connected.

For those that don't know, the Social groups feature on this website does not auto subscribe you to discussions.. even if you post in a thread in the group! Because of this, a lot of NM members are not able to keep connected becuase they are not notified of new discussions or replies to current ones. I PM'd Mods and they seem to not care..



So, lets talk NM!!

Here are some pics of past NM outings..

Hey Jim, Replying to your message. I'm in Afghanistan right now, but when I get home and do some needed repairs to my 4runner. I'd like to hit some local trails.
Take Care.

Got your PM Rip... I'm here, and in following your lead, I say let's get some runs together this summer and get a group of 4Runners out on the trails! :zoom:

Just for everyone's info, I found this link a while back and it's got some good info on alot of trails in NM.... w/GPS coords & maps.

Also, I think this one would be cool to check out: Johnson Hill

Also, some good local trail info here: CAPTAIN SWOOP'S NEW MEXICO 4x4 TRAIL LIBRARY: Albuquerque Area Trails

Also, NM owners, please subscribe to the thread so you get email updates when something is going on. :keyboard:

I'm SUBSCRIBED!

BTW, Rip, what's the status of the Moab trip you were talking about?

This is going to sound stupid but how do I subscribe to threads?

Never mind I figured it out.

As long as you have it set in your options, it should auto subscribe you when you post in a thread.

The Groups are the only part of this website that do not auto subscribe, which is why they are dumb.

MOAB: May 16-20, 2012.
 

Ok guys. So as I mentioned before, we have a fairly large TacomaWorld chapter here in NM. They will be attending the MASSIVE Tacomaworld meet in moab this may.

I will be joining them, and I encourage all of you do to the same. If its fits in the schedule of course. So far, 7 trucks from ABQ/Santa Fe will be going. We will be meeting up with some AZ and CO guys on the way and make a big convoy.


A little info on the Whole TW meet:
Approximately 100 tacomas are scheduled to go, along with many other 4runners and FJs and a few jeeps. I know a few of the Norcal T4R guys will be going too.

We will be leaving Wednesday morning (the 16th) and returning on the 20th.

For anyone interested, either sign up and post in the NM/AZ thread or message me and I will relay the info.

Hey Fish, have you ever been through those caves located just inside that canyon from where you took those diablo pictures?

I have not. That was my first time to Diablo Canyon, I was running short on daylight, and I wanted to check out the Rio Grande @ the end of Buckman Road so I didn't go very far into the canyon.

I'll be back though. I should have some skids that are worthy of going through the canyon here shortly.

Hello everyone - Sorry the for the less frequent posting in the last few weeks. Picked up a new project and have less time for my 4runner workhorse. Subscribed.
