Coyote is off South 14 east of ABQ.

Pic was taken up in Cochiti off Dome road. before the big fire this past summer. Going to try and see what is left this spring once the gates are open. Being told the area will be safe for travels early this spring. We should have Dome & Rio Media open this spring. Getting past Dixion's I think will be an issue with the floods.

Know of a few more trails up in Jemez and off 550 that are accessible. Need to confirm land ownership prior to wheeling a short section. Know cycling is not an issue, but for Jeeping want to make sure it is clear.

There is a huge amount of trails in the Santa Fe area. Let me know what your looking for and I will tell you where to go. Good all around trail is Buckman trail. Just look up buckman rd AKA county Road 77 take it all the way to the end it will dead end at a beach on the Rio Grande. Then take the Trail to the right that goes north along the river it will then turn away from the river back NE. Keep a heading of north by north east the trails all merge in the Same direction anyway and you will come out on NM 502 the road from Pojoaque to Los Alamos. its about an hour drive and there is lots of off shoots that have rocks, sand, and hill climbs! Have fun!

Nice one Alan! Lol.

Also, I forgot I have to go try on tuxes on Sunday morning. So, unfortunately I won't be able to make it out to Puerco. Hopefully next time though.

Guys, I know this isn't a technical thread but I trust your guys' advice so I'm gonna post this here.

I changed my serpentine belt last night and I've got two weird things going on now that I changed it. Aside form having to tighten the holy hell out of it, my water pump pulley doesn't appear to be balanced anymore. Also, when I accelerate I have a ticking noise over 2k rpms. Side note, I did have to remove my Efan and the fan shroud to get to the idle pulley so maybe a fan blade making sword fights with the shroud. I'm just frustrated beyond all beliefe and I can't drive my beloved XJ.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

i would just go back over everything double check it even take everything back off if you have to. its possible that your pulley could be loose thats why its not appearing to be ballanced or it might need replacing. when i did my belt i also had to tighten the heck out of it. make sure your pinch nut is tight and not comng loose making the belt have slack. thats my only guess

good luck

FYI.

Was at ABQ U pull-it today and found 2 up country cherokees with front skids. Pulled both of them and was going for the transfer cace skid when the nuts on the back side just started spinning. Was a little annoyed and running short on time. In my rush for my large screwdriver / pry bar there and one of the front skids. Most likely will not have a chance to get back out there to pick it up. If you have been looking for a front skid it is an easy pick. Just sitting by the front end of one of the cherokees in the yard there

Was there any good front seats that you saw? I was driving passed there yesterday giving the wife the puppy fog eyes but we had to go look at a mobile home (we are trying to buy).

Also if anyone has any lift components I am looking to piece together a kit 3 inch or bigger. Really need some lift coils.
