You are lucky to be in such a beautiful area.. It was in NW New Mexico that I was first turned on to wheeling, as well as toyota truck capabilities.. boy do I miss that country..

Thanks for all the compliments. After going out with my friends at NMTORC a couple of times (also rolling a couple of times:biggrin2: ) I decided I wanted to get my own offroad vehicle and most importantly use it offroad, and I have loved it since then. As far as the color, I have no idea what it's called, but I think it's a factory color because I have seen a handful of others that color.

Mnrunr, I love New Mexico too. I wheel in south central NM in the Quebradas most of the time and haven't had the chance to hit up NW NM yet. Everytime I go out I push my truck a little further, and as usual it always amazes me. I might have to calm down a little since I caught my driveshaft on a ledge and destroyed it:satan: . Made a new stronger one so I'm good to go now...

Here is a video of the first time I went wheeling. This trip was the end of my stock bumper and the beginning of my new custom bumper.
