mcbrat Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 my first time there, I bought along tons of spare parts and tools "just in case" as I drove the Brat there.... I think the only think I busted was a turn signal, and had some paint scrapes from the "Castana Car Wash" trail that is lined with bushes.... most of which I think would've buffed out.... I had a LSD in it that trip, but went to the welded diff after that... One trip MorganM was there with his '88 wagon. He was open in the rear, and made for some intersting times getting the right lines that wouldn't lift up 1 front and 1 rear tire... and that was the first time I ever used my winch, was pulling him up a slippery bank next to a water hole.....

bheinen74 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 bump for I ? may be in. I will just avoid / or park my rig for the nasty stuff which will harm my BRAT. Still thinking about this. It would be fun, but I don't want my Brat sitting there beat up, or broken down, so I would have to just do a little bit of it. Or, how would rescue wagon do if i put a welded diff in? okay, or not the right tires? at least that one i wouldnt lose out on damage really.

mcbrat Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 11 days left for pre-registration savings.... Brent, I think a stock soob with a welded diff will still have issues with clearace.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Brents got a lifted brat he shouldnt have a problem. I still have mud under my car from june.

mcbrat Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'll make an honest effort to attend next year Mick. (But where will Indy ride?) there's some other club members he has ridden with and he liked to do so in the past, "because the BRat cou'n't do the hill climbs", or I made him cry trying to keep up with the other rigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Brat is pretty much ready now... picked up a spare PS belt too. lights are mounted. leaky roof is mostly fixed. recovery box mounted. Need to add my toolbag, and switch the spare with one of the current wheels/tires as the spare is better shape... still want to cover the back of the tail light so the connections don't get all caked with mud....
