Traveled with them 1/2 way down to cabo. left them days ago at the house ... they are on a dif agenda ( party every day all night, get up @ 13:00 ... so not my everyday forte )

BUT; Not all sunshine and rainbows tho ..... spent 1000s in suspension and drive-line upgrades yet she is a lil upset , NOT MADE ... just upset ! Her rack and pinion bushings took a crap !
stop at the local toyota dealer ( eta for a OEM replacement set +/-10 days ) ...... and then friend of a friend knew about this baja builder racer shop !! they looked it and " hey we have some solid rubber, we make you some new once " ! say what ... 2 days , 50 bucks to mend it ... sure fix it !! ( not going to be 100% perfect but 95% is better then the crap i got now )

btw ifff you looking for any FSB 78-96 or bronco 2 .... or any 60s-90s ford trucks hint baja !! never seen so many !

Gear oil is cheap, roll on. When you said you were going to check out Mexico, I didn't think you were talking about all the garages and shops along the way.

Had to Google it ....

Is the new Ford Bronco made in Mexico?

The Baby Bronco, however, is built in Mexico. Specifically, it's built at the Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly plant, which is located in Sonora.
Previously this plant built the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, but with sedans at Ford going the way of the Dodo, Baby Bronco replaces these two vehicles.


well that explains why so many are around down here ....

trip to the local ford dealer to see how much cheaper they are in Baja / La Paz !!
