Manx Club

There is a guy on here and theSamba...joescoolcustoms...on theSamba I had noticed and thought his tag lines were funny and true about "painted with a live chicken...buffed with a pine cone".... and "many wallets go dry before a project finishes".....I am unfortunately becoming mu...

You guys are killing me and REALLY making me want to get this thing done in time!

I'm sure we could coordinate to get us all together at Contingency. The neatest would be to be next to the other Vintage Bronco's to have a legitmate line up of "Pioneer" style vehicles.

Juan, that is an awesome detailed beakdown excited to see/hear from you.

It sounds like the Manx group will be quite large which is awesome.

If there is a place I could rent a Lowrance Baja 5 rather than buy, I'd be super interested....this build $$$ is out of control. Spending $400+ on a gps I would use 1x a year or maybe only once is excessive (and that's coming from a guy with an obvious spending problem that hasn't normally carried a...

You sound like my Early Bronco buddies as it pertains to "period correct" and yours will be legit. My front end with all the "torsion leafs"? still in seems really stiff. if you are running the original Link Pin front end do you take out any of the "shims"? As a reminde...

I'm in. Nacho Cheeze will be taking a rest from this one, but the team will be busy at work prepping the Inchworm. 4442 Jon, did I understand you (Inchworm) runs a swing axle out back? Also curious what are you running for shocks? My '69 Manx is BJ front end, thing spindles, IRS out back, Bilstein ...

A week or so later these "new in the box" went for $610 http://m.ebay.com/itm/252727774068?_mwBanner=1&ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F0%252Fe11021.m43.l3160%252F7%253Feuid%253D5a74f41df11341cb824732874fddc7e3%2526bu%253D43195102468%2526loc%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F...

MIke this continues to be awesome. Thanks so much

That's helpful, thanks so much.

Next question....choice of model and supplier (rugged radios as well) for GPS?

Last post for tonight....what radio are you guys using?

Seems like the Yaeusa 2900 with the Mars mod is popular?

Now that I'm older (43) and have a family and don't make much money I figure once a year in Baja is easier on the wallet and family.

Boys and their toys.... I used to closed circuit road course race a turbo Miata (NASA TT series mostly in the Midwest and California). Since we had babies it has been on coasters and hasn't moved in 3 years. Before that car was converted to turbo we also ran it in the Cannonball Run One Lap of Ameri...

Mocked up my body this AM, had my wife help!

Ready for cage work next weekend.

The huge tires and 3" body lift make it WAY higher than i anticipated.

Man SoCal guys have all the fun!

For those of you running NORRA, just curious what you all are doing for fuel tanks/fuel-cells? In a separate thread, quite awhile back, I asked the membership if anyone had a check valve solution for rollovers and I got no feedback. I'm running a standard '68 OEM tank that has been boiled and sealed...
