Thanks! I've got a couple things Im working on, but mostly getting the truck prepped right now for a week of running around the dirt in Baja next month.

I plan to do a real nice cage and tie it all in to help keep the back half of the chassis together. The back half of the 97-03 frame is a bit worrisom for sure...

The factory shackle hanger bent one trip to Baja, so I added some steel to it. It bent two more times after the fact so I designed some super turbo kick *** hangers. The truck came with some cobbled up shackles that the previous owner had hacked up out of stock shackles, so I whipped up...

I finally got around to putting bump stops on the front. I was getting worried about burning up unit bearings because I was using the tire and wheel well as the stop

4-22-11 Ryan had a wonderful drunkin encounter with Humberto, a Mexican English teacher from Tijuana, who told us kidnapping is nothing to speak casually about. (Drunkin Ryan asked how much he would charge to kidnap him and bring him back to Baja later…lol) He was probably Catel. J/K! Today we...

4-21-11 Hartmans Jeep- Changed coil at auto partes in Bahia de LA. Left town at 1:00pm. A flip of a peso decided if we would back track thru Gonzaga to saty off-road or drive 200 miles on the highway and drive the Pacific ocean side. Heads, highway and Pacific side. San Quintin- Pacific Side...
