New Mexico 4Runner Owners Thread

[pefiln]

Yeah it's what I wanted. Was hard to convince the wife because she really wanted the 3rd row, but we were up in Colorado a few weeks ago and I was pointing out all the roads we couldn't go on and convinced her the TE was the best option. I'm sure the SR5 could do it too, but she doesn't need to know that! Haha.

I'm not sure about the 5th gens but from what I saw on the 4th gens the 3rd row is super small anyways. And like Dbart82 said, be careful what you say! If she finds out it will be a good thing you didn't get the 3rd row since you will be needing to sleep in it soon haha

We are still wanting to see if some people want to meet up this Saturday (8/15) around 4 or 5 for a quick little run someplace around town. Are you free/interested? What about you Dbart82?

 

[Dbart82]

I will try to be there. Where you guys just thinking about going?

 

[PeteC]

Finally got it!

Now need to find some time to put this on...

I might be able to go Saturday but still not sure. Might be putting the lift on.

 

[Dbart82]

Congrats! That is very nice.

Peflin, I just remembered that the wifey already made some plans that day so I will have to pass.

I'm still looking to go camping up in jemez at the end of this month and check out the area up there. It's either going to be Friday to Sunday or only sat and Sunday. If anyone wants to tag along let me know and we'll plan it out.

WOW! Completely jealous! I love the color. I'ed love to help put the icons on if I'm in town. I'll be in abq sun and mon, but not sat, so I won't be able to go.

Awesome! Of course we are always looking for new members so hit up any other T4R owners you know. A few of us are going to be doing a small day trip on 8/15, sometime around 4pm for a couple hours. Maybe we could meet up then and we all can hit a trail?

I'm in for a day trip on 8/15. You want to bring some of those stickers? I'll slap one on my truck.

Let me talk to my co-worker and see when we are going to do it. He has a full size lift in his garage that we will be using to make things go smoother. Have to find a time when neither of us has overtime. Which doesn't leave too many options right now. I'll let you know!

Yes sir! I'm a Navigator originally from GA and am definitely enjoying my time in ABQ.

Hey everyone. So it's hard to respond to everyone at once so hopefully everybody reads this. On Saturday we are thinking about maybe heading up to the Jemez. We've been looking at some maps online and may have some trails to try.

So as of right now, Pefiln and I are thinking about meeting up at Home Depot on 550 at about 230/3. I work there and get off at 2 (lets be honest though probably wont be off till about 230) so we are thinking about heading up right after that. The details aren't finalized yet. So if you have any input or suggestions we are up for almost anything. This trip will only be 2 or 3 hrs, so nothing major. And we are all basically stock vehicles so nothing crazy.

Hopefully by tomorrow or Thursday, we'll have it all figured out.

Super jealous! Looks amazing. Can't wait to see you try it out on some trails!

Awesome! I met up with a group on the Taco forum and a few of those guys were military as well. We did a Monticello Canyon.

 

[Dbart82]

I wanted to go down there this year but I heard that they closed the trail down. When did you get out there?

Sweet. I'm a controller at abq center. Talk to you guys all the time. Opus! Work the airspace for AR-674. 24.32. 32.8 33.65.


Dang won't be out of work by then on Saturday but maybe another time. And I read on the NM off-road site that they reopened Monticello. Still haven't been down there but it looks freakin awesome.
[MENTION=88866]JEL[/MENTION]owry I bought a fridge there a couple weeks ago and the lady I worked with the awesome. Can't remember her name. Probably early thirties. Anyways, she was way better at customer service than anyone at the coors store so tell her good job. Haha.

When are you planning on going camping? It's looking like I have the 29 and 30 off. But that could change by next week. Idk if I'd be able to do a camping trip but definitely a day trip up somewhere. Might be able to get [MENTION=122186]pefiln[/MENTION] to go too.

 

[Dbart82]

Those are the days that I was planning. Even if you don't want to camp it's close enough to come up for the day.
