For some background on the NM BDR, here's my trip report from a couple years ago. I had a great time.

I just replaced a rear DSSV on my 2019 ZR2 days before the warranty ran (on time). Only 15k on the truck with little serious offroading. The DSSVs ride great but seem to be not very durable. When the next one goes, I'll be looking for something more durable and less expensive too.
I did the route with another van a couple years ago. It was great fun. Here's a write-up.

Fly fishing? Down south, maybe the Rio Ruidoso or the Gila. There are a couple lakes too, Grindstone and Alta...
The only place that's not on free public roads (on my route anyway) was where the route crosses Grand Teton National Park. You either need a national park pass or have to pay to enter the park at the gate.
My route was essentially the same as Kent's except for the Colorado portion. I went from Chama to the four corners and met up with 4 motos and a Jeeper and did the Colorado BDR instead of the CDR. The both end up north of Steamboat so I rejoined the CDR there.
