Baja Trip Aug .....What's on your to do list?

[BajaF250]

Spoke to soon.... going to do new axle bearings, as well as a water pump and t-stat housing. Also try to work a rear tire mount into the cage before then.

So, what are you going to use for a tire mount? Are you going to mount the spare vertically? Or, are you going to lay it down like you've been doing?

[BajaF250]

1) finish tuning the rear suspension
2) replace the ignition system (MSD)
3) clean, clean, clean!

2) Ignition system — done,
3) washed inside, outside and underside!
1) gotta add some more spring and back out to the test track... — done!

I too spoke too soon... I now have to replace my VSS and the driven gear... still waiting for parts to arrive.
I also have some small shock adjustments to accomplish... still working on tuning. But, will I ever be happy?

Incorporating our idea, with a mount that has roomfor adjustment, and also taking some styling cues from the red Solo Motorsport Bronco. For now it will ony work with the backrest of the rear seat folded down, but I have plans to scoot the rear seat forward 3/4"-1 so it will work with it up as well.

This is where it will sit:




And then I will mount a grab handle" if you will like the one here on Solos Bronco so that I can lean it up against that, and it will have the tabs for a Y shaped strap, as well as the abilty to bolt down the tire.

Mounted in cab fire extinguisher and in cab tool bag.......Maratrac control head
and speaker. I will mount radio box on a tray behind the pass seat next weekend and have Fab wire it up. I'm am really looking forward to this trip!

August trip? Put on new tires, chain and sprockets, adjust valves, oil change, clean air filter, fix loose hiem in top of rear shock and redo resi hose..........

2 weeks in the rockies on a bike, can't be beat..........

Man I thought I had everything ready. Yesterday the rearend started some kind of funky grattle (grind/rattle). I intended to use next weekend to pack for another trip. Now it's down to the wire because I am out of town until the week before the Baja trip. Hopefully it's something simple...

Total bummer Buck! I hope you get that thing fixed before the run.

I appreciate it guys. The timing sucks but I guess better here than on the trip. One way or another I'll get it fixed. Hell or high water my Bronco brothers, I'm going to Baja! Looking forward to seeing you guys. Almost here!

Maratrac is installed & wired & working. Tom Weber helped me out Big Time with the bedside brackets, done, ready to rock n roll. Thanks Tom

It was nice meeting you! Wish we could have chatted a bit more, but time was running tight.

Right on Nick, I completely agree. I was trying to replace some bolts before the sun boiled my blood outside the shop and I see you guys were busy at Mark's. Listin , the pleasure was mine and the next time will be with cold ones in hand.

Well I got the rearend fixed. John at Autofab was kind enough to get it in and out in record time because I will be out of town until the Baja trip and this was my only chance to get it done. Ready to Roll. Game on!

[BajaF250]

Great news! That's a load off!

I just saw this thread and started to make a mental list......oh shit
Bronco is pretty much torn apart right now and needs to be assembled.

Springs are on their way back from National after re-work
Shocks back from being re-built
Steering box back from re-build and installed but need new lines just received to be hooked up
Just received a box of new heims for steering and two link
New AC compressor is here needs to be installed and charged
New batteries need to go in
New Baja T/A's need install

Plus it needs basic oil & fluid changes

The last Baja trip was hard on the old girl.

Ahh, just a few projects to knock out over the weekend!

Who did you have rebuild the steering box? And, what box are you using?
