NORRA and the Cortez/Sonora Rally have gone their separate ways this year. Todd Z.

I'll let Lance provide the details on the suspension, but I'll provide a 3rd party assessment on the ride/handling and tell you that for a 45 year old vehicle, it's very composed. Excellent ride and handling on everything from pavement to rough, silty two-tracks in Baja. I co-dogged a lot of...

Finding those bushings will probably prove to be a real challenge as I'm not sure what type of OEM setup they may have been adapted from. They remind me of the strut arm bushings on '60s and '70s Ford cars but I think they're much larger than those. Todd Z.

I would concur that the 78-79 F150 4x4 steering linkage and track bar are the way to go. You'll need to do some fabrication for the mounts but a good fabricator can easily do it. The 76-77 F100/F150 linkage was the inverted-Y so pass on it. The existing linkage looks identical to the 78-79...

Safe travels! Looking forward to the report and photos. Todd Z.

Next week must be here already as Scott has been posting pictures on social media already. Todd Z.

PM BajaSportsmobile here on the board. He was a driver/co-driver in one of the few 4 wheeled vehicles in the Rally this year and could probably answer your questions. My thoughts are that a GWagen is pretty heavy for this type of event and a gas engine that likes to rev a bit might be a better...

Nice rig! Looks like you live near downtown somewhere. I lived in Willo for 18 years. Todd Z.

Great stories! Todd Z.

I bought mine at Big O, which did the mounting and balancing for me. Todd Z.

That looks like my buddy Herb's Bronco. Todd Z.

Gorgeous! If your travels ever bring you to AZ, please look us up! Todd Z.

Will there be an ExPo or OJ article with route details? Todd Z.

Great pics and report - more country to explore! We did the Mojave Road in '08 and didn't see nearly enough. Todd Z.

Thanks Mikey - I figured it had to be somewhere nearby but I didn't remember nearby camping spots when I parked to hike. We had to pay the $25 in 2003/2004 when I was there the last time. I think the first year I went was in '97 and they hadn't erected their little pay station/house at that...

I really enjoyed your story and photos. Is Havasupai Point where the South Bass trail starts? I've parked in the lot there and hiked the trail twice in years past but didn't really pay much attention to nearby camping spots. Thanks, Todd Z.

Those are great trucks and finding a nice clean example is getting harder and harder. Lots of great suspension options for them to make them very capable off road. Todd Z.

As it should. The TTB front ends went away after the 1997 model year in the F250s. Todd Z.

If it had a solid front axle, it's an F350. The F250s have the Twin-Traction Beam Dana 50s -not my favorite front end in 4WD trucks. Todd Z.
