Thanks! I look at that last pic every day and I like it more and more. The snorkel is nice to have for dust and such, but I have yet to use it for its intended purpose. It does hang up on branches so I'm always reaching out of the DS window pushing them out of the way. I'll just have to pick better lines in the future. When I actually plan a trip I'll let the Albuquerque people know.

Here's a better set of photos. A friend was taking them while I drove and it took me a couple of days to get the full resolution ones from him.

Ledge fun

Another west mesa victim, don't leave your truck unlocked ANYWHERE in Albuquerque.

Organize something for the late spring with all the ABQ folks and I'm there. I've never had the chance to wheel around central NM.

I'm hoping to get something going toward the end of the semester (around the 17th of May). I think the central NM trails may pale in comparison to what you get to wheel in down near Cruces, but I'd love to wheel with more YT folks.

yeah dont know if you guys heard of or used toytec but i did his logo and lately i just did a pretty cool FJ Flyer.

But i was curious about you setup AndYota. Just the suspension mods and who makes those bumpers. How much does that front one run?

nice, I used to do a lot of webdesign work mostly backend php and mysql stuff and whenever I had to work with graphic designers they would always take like 10 smoke breaks a day... and we would only meet for like 4 hour days.


Did always piss me off the amazeing stuff they could crank out in like 20 minutes while I spend 3 days trying to get some simple submit button to work right.

Took another impromptu run today whilst skipping school. I didn't get many pics in my camera, but here a few of the truck playing and a few more of an old windmill that I thought were cool.

The Truck:





The other thing, not made by Toyota:

HAHA.. I didn't even notice it wasn't Puerto Rico until you said something. I was wondering how you got those licence plates all the way out there

I guess the terrain kinda gives it away.

Good directions here, http://www.us-parks.com/blm/gordys_h...rea/index.html

It's pretty sweet. Apparently theres some awesome trials, I haven't hit up many of em tho, mostly due to lack of time.

Hey ABQ wheelers. Im heading out to Los Lunas at the end of july to see my parents for a couple weeks and Im bringing my Yota with me. I would like to get in some wheelin with you locals. Anything from mild to wild is ok with me.
Im down in NM once a year and have enjoyed exploring your beautiful state including spending 4 days in Gila. WOW.

I cant post pics of my rig because Im stuck on a boat using the company computer right now but my sig gives you an idea. PM me if you are interested in getting some people together or just post up on this thread.
