well i hate to suggest selling a baja, but if you sell the baron and buy a truck for a bit less than you sold the baja for, you might be able to use that money to get your class 5 running. just an idea

i hear ya brother :lol:
been past a hummer that got high centred on a rail way line (we dont get much rail traffic so it's safe enough) rather than going another 100ft or so and taking the crossing. so i went over the crossing then pulled over to laugh and promptly kept on going to have some fun on the beach while he waited for a crane :lol:

Another great weekend in Parker. This one was alot of fun, I just wish we could've stayed longer. We ran 3 bajas, a rail, and the Arctic Cat.

We took the wash to Shea Road where the Arctic Cat had to pull off as it blew a front tire. Luckily we grabbed a spare at the last second so we switched them out and kept rolling. Then on the trail to Swan Sea we had the yellow baja blow a rear tire. So we grabbed the spare off of my car and kept rolling on.

The previous day the blue baja clogged a jet and the throttle cable on the rail came loose, but today they ran great with no problems. We hit one small river and one pretty good sized river and stopped on the other side to eat lunch.

On the way back we hit a small jump with all the cars to catch a little air.

Then as we were leaving the blue bug decided to jump DOWN the hill . . . :roll:

He ended up digging his nose in and snapping off a light :lol:

Alot of sideways drifts (a couple that i wasn't entirely sure i had control over :lol: ) and my baja had no problems at all.

We ended up using every tool I had brought along (bottle jack, pliers, screwdrivers, fix-a-flat, spare tires, etc.) so I know i'm never going out again without everything we used this weekend :D

And here's the video I threw together from the weekend. Its alot of GoPro but I know that stuff can get kind of boring for some people so I tried to break it up with pictures in between. Let me know what you guys think!

If you didnt know this it is a valuable tip. Fix-a-Flat will eat away at a rim if it is kept in the tire and used over a period of time.
