i like Lemitar chile over Hatch.

Slightly out of where you wanted, but Sichler's farm does roasting, it's just south of Lomas & San Mateo. I prefer their chile, but I like it hot. Also, you can find the fruit basket down on 4th Street, just South of Osuna. They are pretty...

Not going to make this month.

After Ali helped me with the rear springs he educated me on coil spring suspensions. He had two suggestions. First, get skids on the trailing arms. Second, correct the angle on the track bar. As much as I give this fella crap for spending other...

Beefing it up. Was going to order King springs, but thought I'd try this first. I also have an error code for "Abnormal Oil Pressure for Pump" that I need to trace. I've known about that for a while, but I can't ignore it anymore. We bought a...

On a whim I headed down south New Mexico to explore that part of the state that I often neglect. The Enchanted Rockies Trail system is a large network of trails connected to make one beautiful loop around our state, and it starts way down south...

On my two shake down runs in Billy I noticed the camper caused a lot of wind noise. Mostly at the back window. I started looking at options, everything from some kind of deflector on the camper, to a roof rack with a deflector. From my research...

You don't have to convince us of our anti-Jeep snobbery. We own it. I have some older 4Runners that might be on the 'auction' block soon. I've got 3 of them and planning on downsizing with kids getting married, going off to college. Plus, I'm...

Nothing like a roadside fix while getting home from the lake! Turned out that the 430,xxx mile old radiator cap died. Top radiator hose blew off due to high pressure buildup while making a huge mess everywhere. I took the Tstat out in case it...

We are so back!! Brakes bled and driving around. Now to write a novella about the last week...

One of my A/C line got rubbed and opened up a tiny hole. It was completely my fault for not noticing it, but replacing this line was comical due to the amount of effort it required. The front bumper needed to move 1/2" forward so that a bolt...

Lots of things have happened. I will try and do a write-up on a separate thread when everything is done. For now, some pictures.

Dear HDC Club Members, I am planning to go to Ouray in late July and do some trail runs around the Ouray area with my wife, Liz and my daughter Amanda and her boyfriend Daniel. We plan to arrive via my 2016 Land Cruiser pulling our Micro Minnie...

Thanks, I had Zapata falls on my list of POI, I'll add the bat caves. I'll air down, and I have a portable air compressor, but that's good to know, it'll probably be quicker than mine. It will probably just be a weekend thing, so I'll call...

I did it a few years ago. I'd do it again. I seem to recall there was a nice campground up there.

I highly recommend it Ron, go for it. I camped right off of the medano pass trail and there are few sites. If you're going from north to south, you'll need to air down as you exit the trail then enter the park due to deep sand. The park has a...

I'll be in Denver for a concert in a couple weeks, and was thinking of taking Medino pass on the way back, and passing by the Great Sand dunes NP. I seem to recall a few of you have done this. Any thoughts you would like to pass on would be...

It was the end of the axle/brake area. I don't know what failed, as I was just focused on putting out the flames. Once I did, I got out of there real quick. The driver barely even acknowledged what was going on, and immediately started calling...

I've had a few different ones, but this one is the only one I have ever had to use. A few years ago I was coming back from a climbing trip and kept smelling something burning. I was concerned it was something in my Rav4 but nothing seemed...

Billy got a tiny butt lift ;) . Beer needs to come out before any work begins in this heat!

Blue truck day

My nephews' buddy is encouraging a rigs and coffee social event at Plata Coffee by Steelbender on North 2nd this Saturday. I plan to stop by to support and check in on my nephews. FJ60's going through a cooling system update so prolly road the...

I made two modifications to the front bumper before I installed it. First, I installed a SAE port on the front for my solar panel. That way I don't need to pop the hood and use alligator clips. Second, this style of bumper makes access to the...

Me likie. I think this will do. Unfortunately, now I have dash codes for the radar sensor.

A little update. I pulled the rear Dobinsons and replaced them with heavier springs. I'm still not thrilled with how the truck sits. Today I installed front springs. I got tired of the Dobinson backorder so I went cheap and bought AllDog springs...
