It always takes a while to desert proof a new car. Have a good time on your next trip out.

The real trick is not to push the car past its capababilities and to give the car a once over checking for worn parts, hoses and electrical connections and loose fasteners before the ride. Redesign anything that fails mor than once.

I put a strap over mine to prevent it from happening again. I never found the one that fell off my 1600 cc engine.

Drill a small hole in the lip, and safety wire that biatch to the nearest point. I would look cleaner that way, and every race car loves safety wire!!! 8)

Hot damn... my trailer looks good in Barstow....

...did you loose one of the square lights up front too?

...it'd be fun to hunt down another 84' Toyota with a Dick Cepek lift and a 3 inch tube bumper to find its match.... :lol:

bajahucks Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:45 pm
