True... but I did the front installation myself, only reason I went to Pep Boys was because I didn't have the right tools to overcome the endlink rust. I just don't know what the hell they could've touched to affect those lights...

they probably got mad at you for giving them a hard time with the rear endlinks so they screwed around with your ride

See that's one of the things I love/hate about New Mexico. I can't work on my car very much since I'm parked outside, BUT I'm in a parking garage, so my car never gets wet or icy

Um..........85 to 165. Go South after Placitas towards Tijeras. Hit some 8500 feet in elevation, roads look decent enough. Hell, thats in your backyard. SHould really go to Hwy 4. Thats only about two hours away? If I was out there, thats all I would do is drive the mountains. Lucky!
Here is Placitas/Tijeras.....great place to start (looks like it)

Jon was commenting on how the distance of the route that Josh posted was like driving around the whole island (Hawaii) so I connected that with Puerto Rico since that's where I'm from and that island is pretty damn tiny as well. Lol

So I took the drive that Josh suggested and may I say, it was AWESOME. Total elevation change was about 4,500 feet. The climb up was nice and scenic, but the ride down was very, VERY fun. The GR2/TRD setup I have performs beautifully. I had a buddy riding with me to take pictures. Here's a few...

Here's me on a bench with a snow ottoman.


A beautiful S-curve.


A hard right turn.


I was going about 65 at this specific moment.


In the zone... lol

Norberto. Reminds me of walking around town in Cataño, Puerto Rico.

I just recently painted my Euro splitters, so I took a few pictures to show them off.



You can't see the splitters in this picture... but I thought it looked good





I wish I knew a better place around here to take scenic pictures
