You have been working hard. Looks great. I like the rear bumper too.

Nice job.

I did a ride up to O. Wells from Superstition on Saturday....we made the mandatory pit stop at The Iron Door. 8)

I saw a few bajas and buggies, but none that looked like yours. No camera with me....I dump too much in the soft stuff to carry anything breakable. :lol:

That's one of them foreign words - like "done"... No one in these parts has ever understood them kinda words. 8)

Good to have friends around who are good welders, you will need them with your other finished projects. Keep up the progress, but yea it never, ever ends.

I am impressed. You have really moved on this project. It should be fun at razor road. I will be going as of right now. Go Friday some time.


Go to google maps search for bee canyon truck trail Hemet. you can then go to satalite and look at the area.
