I think I finally figured out how to post a pic. Lets see if it works.

 

Looks good. We should meet up sometime.

 

nice tinted front windows

 

ya, is that illegal where you are?

 

Actually the front windows are legal here at 35% tint. The rest are 20%.
ABQ Jim...let me know if your planning any trips or snow runs for sure. Me and a buddy are planning a trip to the San Juan Mts in southern CO in late June or early July if you are interested.

 

In many states you aren't even suppossed to have front windows tinted but I've never seen it enforced except when it's too dark and the cop is a needle dick. I have limo tint on all the windows except for the fronts which is just a little lighter.

 

I don't have anything planned right now. There is a little run scheduled by the NM TTORA guys for this Sunday out to Rio Puerco. If you haven't been there yet, it's pretty cool. It's out past Rio Rancho on Southern. There is stuff to do for all classes.

I usually go to the CO4RJ in August. And I will try to make it out to Moab again this year sometime.

 

I never really understood the reasoning for the laws against front window tinting until this past summer when I was riding my bike to work and almost got run over as I crossed through an intersection by a driver that was at a stop making a right hand turn. Usually I can tell what the driver will do except I couldn't make eye contact with him and had to hope he saw me. He didn't I ended up having to jump off my bike and onto his hood. He wasn't too happy and neither was I.

 

Nice! Was that up in the Sandias? Some of my folks live in ABQ... When I go out there (Feb/March) maybe I'll see you drivin' around!

 

That sounds like fun...I havent been out there yet. I cant make itthis weekend, Ill be in CO springs to watch the LOBO game. Im going to get 285's this week so I'll want to test those bad boys out. Im anxious to see how much they rub and how soon I need a BL. Id like to talk to you about your manual TACO hubs. Did you do them your self, or is there someone in town that you had do it?

 

Move to Georgia and you'll understand why.

 

Get a 1" BL ordered from Roger Brown. You will rub if you wheel it.

I did the Manual Hub conversion myself. I bought all of the used spindles, hubs and axles from a guy with a Taco doing a SAS. The only thing I had to have done was the press work (it took 17 tons to press out my wheel bearings). Do you have ABS? If not, then the conversion is much simpler and less expensive. If you do a search you will see a lot of info on here about it.

 

nice truck, like the color
