No. Because it isn't a part that wears out, it is a part that must be ordered. I'm ordering up two pitman arms tonight for a double Currie Currectlync installation job next Saturday on two Rubicons - my TJ and an LJ. It should be interesting.

Ken you look real cool with the off road celebs!

Last photo (RESQ1) is a nice Jeep Utility truck... When will Jeep make a pickup again, other than the prototypes, like the Gladiator?

Ken Cooke - 10-6-2013 at 08:18 AM

Mopar manufactures a pickup kit. Maybe with the next generation of Wrangler - or, the Dodge Power Wagon which fits as a close 2nd.

When the troops came home from WWII my uncle, Jack Terry, who owned Yuma Auto Supply and a bunch of his Army buddies built the first "dune buggies" by removing the bodies and shortening the frames of prewar Fords to ride the dunes west of Yuma.

Mil gracias for all the photos, Ken. I was unable to go this year, so I was hoping you would make it!

Thanks, again!

comes togther here. great to see so many faces.

liknbaja127 - 10-9-2013 at 07:38 PM

We bought new in 92, sold it in 02 to friend, and bought it back in 012!
We are doing a new motor, gears & trans, want to make it Baja ready!
Hope to have it ready for whale watching with Shari, in late Feb., or early
March. Whistler, are you a ford guy? They have been great trucks for me
in the Baja!
