I see the need for a spare cluch disc in your in Baja tool box. That is quite the rock. I'm not sure if even more engine will give enough momentum to carry it over but you got close several times.

20 attempts... You are persistent!! I would have given up after 2. Nice video. Did you ever make it up?

I looked at mine and said:"sorry pal, I've been woking too much...."

That rock isn't as tough on the clutch as the rocky trail we took on the way to there...

I use mine as my primary... That's why I baby the car and don't abuse it.

Stick an early Bus IRS with 5.38 ring and pinion in the Baja and you will idle over most of those rocks. It is quite the trail keep the non motivated off of them..

We went hunting about a 70 mile round trip. Pitchers[img]

Almost finished with the wiring. Now these gauges work:
Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Tac/ RPM, Clock, Volt meter.

Started painting the inside of my car. I'm going with a yellow/orange/brown theme... we'll see how this turns out :D

nukeworker Sun Oct 26, 2008 6:11 pm
