STREET BAJA - OCTOBER

ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES

EXTERNAL OIL COOLER - VERY IMPORTANT IN WARM CLIMATES! (DO NOT MOUNT BEHIND FAN SHROUD)

OIL OR ENGINE TEMP GUAGE - BAJAS TEND TO GET DRIVIN HARDER THAN A STOCK BUG AND YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN YOUR ENGINE NOW DO YOU?

HI-LIFT JACK - GET AN AMERICAN CAR BUMBER JACK AND WELD THE BASE ON, CUT A 2" LONG SECTION OF 2" PIPE IN HALF LENGTHWISE AND WELD IT ON WHERE THE HOOK FOR THE AMERICAN BUMPER IS. THIS TYPE OF JACK WILL NOT ONLY MAKE IT EASIER TO CHANGE THOSE BIG TIRES, BUT IT CAN HELP YOU GET UNSTUCK.

4-WAY LUG WRENCH - TO REACH IN THOSE DEEP-DISH RIMS

FIRST-AID KIT - THIS SHOULD BE OBVIOUS

GRAB-HANDLE FOR PASSENGER - ALSO KNOWN AS AN "OH JESUS! BAR". THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES AVAILABLE, OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN FROM SOME SECTIONS OF PIPE AND MOTORCYCLE HAND GRIPS. THE T-TYPE IS BEST.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER - I CAN'T STREES THIS ONE ENOUGH! YOU DON'T WANT TO STAND BACK AND WATCH YOUR BAJA BURN TO THE GROUND, BELIEVE ME!

NEXT MONTH I'LL COVER SOME OF THE NON-ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE ON YOUR BAJA.
