For some reason this Baja trip has really got a hold of me. I've been all but worthless at work today. Can't stop thinking about it. Ready to rock!!

Got a lot done in the past couple weeks, but here's what's left to prep:

- Change front/rear gear oil
- Replace rear u-joint and get another spare - stinkin crossovers
- Replace pass rear wheel seal
- Fab a quick rock shield for the battery
- T-shoot trans leak out of bellhousing???
- Remove those noisy 1996 secondary front wheel seals
- Repack front bearings
- Replace front pass inner axle - if I have a spare...I think it left at LeDuc's
- Replace front drive shaft, front u-joint
- Install 750hp injected pump gas engine

Yeah, that's about it.

By "T-shoot", do you mean try to tell yourself that you don't have to remove the transmission to fix a leak out of the front of the trans?

Exactly. It really concerns me, but it's going to have to wait.

Yikes,

I might be interested in tagging along... but it's contingent on many things... one of course is work... but I might be able to squeeze some time out to join the group as a straggler. You guys all staying at Horsepower?

So, don't plan on me attending, but don't be surprized if I show up. I'm just dying to get down there and get some dirt miles on Minty (err, well... it is dirty... but from sitting! Ugh!).

So, do you have an extra one of those "750hp injected pump gas engine" available? I can toss on in over the weekend and be ready for the race the following weekend. :D
