WHOA - what a turn out this past Saturday.  This was the largest crowd we have ever had at one of these - thanks to all who came out.  We had some new members, guests, potential applicants and some seasoned folks come out and talk about their builds over coffee.  Aaron was thrilled that we all came ou to supports the event.  The weather was amazing and the company even better!

Another Rigs & Coffee on the books!  Beautiful weather to meet up with friends and make new friends.  Again it was fun to talk about our rigs while drinking good  coffee.  Discussing trails and mods and maybe telling a lie or two.  Lol

We had a new member join us and 2 guests.  And we had a few long time members too.  Not a big turnout, but still drew attention.  An older gentlemen carrying a helmet came up to check out our rigs.  We asked how he was doing, he said just great because the funeral home director cancelled his appointment.  Yup, I'm using this!

Saturday, February 14, 2026, members of the New Mexico 4-Wheelers (NM4W) gathered at Plata Coffee in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque for their monthly Rigs & Coffee meetup.

Despite being Valentine’s Day, the local off-road community showed up in force to share their passion for dirt, gear, and caffeine. Here is a quick breakdown of the event:

Event Highlights

• The Venue: Plata Coffee (located at 8325 2nd Street NW) has become the unofficial hub for this gathering, thanks in part to the owner, Aaron, who is an avid 4x4 and overlanding enthusiast.

• The Rigs: The parking lot featured a diverse lineup of vehicles, ranging from highly modified rock crawlers to daily-driver overlanding builds. The event was open to all brands, including Toyotas, Broncos, and custom builds.

• Community & Connection: As a family-oriented club, the morning was less about technical trail talk and more about "tire kicking" and socializing. Members and prospective newcomers spent the morning (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM) discussing upcoming spring runs and showing off recent modifications.
