cool , looks like a blast .
Broncos are nice, but Blazers are better.
nice bro. I am building a baja rig right now. we gonna have to talk.
We have been asked by one of our sponsors if we would like to be on the chase crew for the Baja 1000. I guess we will have to see.
Here is a link to all pics and videos.

What exactly are you building a F-150 ???
I'm also entertaining baja'ing my truck out...........
Its a blast. Its the only thing that gives me MORE of an adrenalin rush than riding my bike. Ive gotten sick a few times after races just from nerves. We run a 4 link with King coils and King bumpstops in the rear and King 3-way Bypass shocks with Bilstein bumpstops in the front with extended radius arms.
Our bronco isnt much to look at, but with 400hp and more than 42" of articulation it does really well. Right now I am sitting in 1st in the Montana Budweiser Points Race and we have one race to go.

that orange 73 is to sweet
i have a 82 toyota but it's a crawler
5.5 springs with only 3 out of seven leafs left in the pack
so it sits about at 2.5 inches of lift
35" mtrs detriot locker up front spooled rear cromo shafts front and rear flat bed roll cage
it's fun but stupid expensive
if i want to ride i through the bike in the back or on the rack and go ride maybe 20 bucks in gas
if i want to play with the toyota i have to load it up on the trailer fill up full of diesel who knows how maney times until you get there
pay for camping and park fees food beer
bring extra parts
then come home with a broken rig and a couple grand less in the bank
i think im going to sell the truck ridings much cheaper lol

wow people still drive these
i remeber when they came out a couple years ago at a rock comp
and the guys that were selling it embaressed themselves because it couldnt follow a jeep over some rocks
but it would be fun to terrorise the nieghbors with it lol

There were two guys with them at the Mud Bog. $30,000 Mini Monster Trucks. They took the bodies off them. They did pretty well with the Honda motors.
You are right. I have soooo much money in both broncos and still put money in them daily. Biking is much cheaper. I can go to Whistler for a week for the price of a couple shocks!!

There is no way any of the Subarus in your pics could even make it through a course let alone race it. There are trucks in our club with 35" tires and King coilover suspension that cant finish. You need ground clearance and a killer suspension. By the time a Subaru was ready for our race course, it wouldnt be a Subaru anymore. Our bronco has around 400 hp and over 40" of articulation. It would be pretty hard to get that much articulation out of a Subaru.
Here is a little video. Its not too clear since photobucket makes you downsize.

maybe not...but i just came across this gem

Im not saying it absolutely couldnt be done. It is possible but it would not be a subaru anymore. I highly doubt the IFS would handle it. Some solid axle trucks break axle housings in 1/2.
Not enough ground clearance with those little cute tires either. Here is a pic of some of the trucks.

yeah i was bored at work today and so i started reading the 4x4 magazines...i don't know much about it, but i'd like to get into it someday
plus those subies would probably be good for trail stuff rather than racing or crawling

That video kicks ass! I need to look you up if I ever come to your neck of the woods.....Here is a little video. Its not too clear since photobucket makes you downsize.
sweet vid. it makes me miss my scout.
That's not a hobby - it's a sickness. 
....also, I just watched that video again and that thing sounds freakin' ferocious. What is the build on the engine?

One of our sponsors built the motor for cost. It has lots of goodies but I dont have the build list and Im not a motor guy. Its suppose to have almost 400hp. It was never dynoed though.
Another stretch pic
Look at all the tires
So those winnings were enough to buy a shock, eh? 
Thanks about right, maybe two shocks and a bumpstop.So those winnings were enough to buy a shock, eh?
Its getting too expensive to play, but man is it fun.
