Found this on Craigslist: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/1253876909.html This guy is looking to do a drivetrain swap. "It must be Automatic, 4x4 and 1991 or newer." JYD

Some of you saw it in action at Big Bear. You know you want it. Well, here it is! A Junque Yard Dawg of your very own. A 96 XJ w/135K miles. Well maintained. Lots of mods. Just about everything you would want in a Jeep. 6" lift, res. shocks, skid plates, 4.56 gears, 33" BFGs, on board air...

If we were mariachis it would fit right in. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of trumpet in bluegrass. Any guitar pickers out there?

MUSICIANS - Are any of you guys musicians? My buddy & I are going to be picking around the campfire @ site 125/126 if you want to join us. Don't bother responding if you pick your nose or play the CD or CB or any other stupid thing. Stop by & listen even if you don't play an instrument. Singers...

We're making plans now for a trip south of the border for the Baja 1000 in November. We would like to get a few vehicles to travel together. Safer that way. We will be heading south to Ensenada the morning of 11/21 for tech & reg. Then, depending on where the course is laid out, we may head...

Front locker 1st? No way. The rear can handle the stress of it better than the stock Dana 30, especially the u-joints. You'll be snapping those left & right. If you're not rock crawling, and know how to drive, you don't need a front locker. It drives better on the street w/o as well. I've been...

If you're building up an XJ you need this book: High-Performance-Cherokee-Builders-1984-2001-Design When you start lifting past 4" you open a whole new can of worms. I run a 6" lift, 33s & 4.56 gears. It's a great combination. I run an open Dana 30 up front so as not to put too much strain on...

Do you still need wheels? I've got a couple of 6 lug steel wheels kickin around. I think they are from a Yota. I believe they are 16". I'll measure them & check the lug pattern if you still need them. JYD

This could very well be the last Baja race for Score. The end of a era. Coco's was great this year. He spent 3 weeks decorating for the event. Check point 4 was located there. He put up at least a dozen wooden arches over the road all strung w/lights & of course, beer cans. Only blue Pacifico...

There were 4 or 5 XJs entered this year but only 1 entered in the Jeepspeed class. Most of them running on 2WD.

My friends had a truck entered in the Baja 1000 this year. My buddy Keith & I were coordinating the support efforts for the truck. We chased & pitted for the truck for the 1st leg before the driver change @ mile 180 in Santo Domingo when all hell broke loose. The 2nd driver ended up rolling it 7...

I've got a pair of PRP seats that I love. They have a wide fit for my fat ass. I can ride in them all day. PRP is in Murrieta. Of course, we could always consider a diet to trim down our fat asses to fit the seats that are available......naaahhhhh!

I've put together a video of some of the best pics we've taken over the past several years of Baja races. There's even a pic from the original Mexican 1000 of Parnelli Jones in his Bronco. Check it out here: http://www.rosecreekcottage.net/baja.html You can download the video by clicking on...

A snorkel for dust? Never heard that one before. jyd
