New Mexico 4Runner Owners Thread

[white toy taco]

Plane leaves for NM tomorrow, be there for 9 days, rental car is a midsized suv, anything I've GOT to see or do?, only a few things planned so far

as PoRunner said, i would go to carlsbad caverns. its one of the coolest things in NM and definitely worth it.

i would take the tram to the top of the sandia mountains in Albuquerque. theres also a good restaurant there

also, there are 28 (i think) different native american tribes in NM and its cool to see some pueblos. a cool one is Acoma, their pueblo is on top of a 300+ cliff. History of Acoma Pueblo & Guided Tours: Sky City Cultural Center

And it was on the first freaking obstacle! At least I was the last to go so the guys were able to do something fun before it all ended.

Well, we made it down here, first thing I do this morning while going to get some coffee, wrecked the damn rental car. You guys have almost as many 3rd gens as we do in wa

 

[PoRunner]

Hope everyone is ok!

Ya New Mexicans aren't known for their ability to drive.

3rd gens are aplenty down here that's for certain.

Ya, were all good, my fault, stupid shift lever in the rav4 got me upset and by the time I got it in reverse didn't look in my mirror, lady I honked and tried to let me know she was there. Owell, part of the adventure of vacation right?

Anyone else down to do something next wednesday?? Got all day off.

 

[PoRunner]

I've got to do my left rear axle seal (again) that day and do the diff vent mod. I think mine is clogged because this is going to be the 3rd axle seal i've gone through in less than a year. Then I am down to go play. What's the word?

Got ya... I've got that one off too.

BTW, if anyone is looking for a set of wheels or tires, I just put a new set on my wife's 4Runner, so the old set if for sale.

50% tread on the BFG's, and Factory Split 6's in 7/10 condition.

$400 for all, or $250 for the wheels and $250 for the tires.

I'll be at the lake for my birthday. Drive down Tuesday night and come boating with us on Wednesday!

So , seen some cool stuff, did the tram coming down the mountain, carlsbad caverns, white sands, random driving through the desert, wrecked a rental car, one question, do you guys not care about coffee even a little bit?, closest thing to decent coffee I've seen is Starbucks, you people are deprived

Whoa! Bold statement. Just kidding.

The Range Cafe has some pretty decent coffee. There's also a little place downtown called Giuseppe's. Their espresso is awesome.
