Hello and some pix.

Post by Jams »

Hi all, great forum, I have been reading here for about 6 months now and I have gleaned a lot of information, so thanx. I just installed my new Gorilla off road bar so I figured I'd put up some pix, old and new. I have a 05 turbo I got new, I kept it pretty much stock for the first 7 years. Now I am in the fix it up mode. :D
Here Is what I regularly haul.

I am off to work, even with the holiday Happy 4th everyone.

I've been thinking about getting a small boat but wasn't sure how the baja would handle it. ....It pulled a pop up camper ok...

^Mike, how does it pull the popup? How much weight do you estimate?

Great pics, when I bought my original 86 Brat in 87 or 88 (can't recall) I ran into the guy I bought it from as he was gassing up. He was pulling a boat that looked twice as big as the truck itself, I can't recall anything more than that but it seemed huge at the time.

Very Cool! I am also new to the forums... I have the same year and model in white. The mod bug has bit me. I really want to get the gorilla guard going as well!

I'm not really sure how much it weighed and I no longer have it but it pulled it fairly well

The boat tows pretty good. Loaded up I'm at around 1800 lbs, have to be careful about stopping though. There are a couple of substantial hills on the way to the lake and with the turbo I rock right up them.
