great vid, just one thing though, when you pressure washed it, hope you covered the airfilter.

shouldnt. i dont use a pressure washer persay, but i do use the house hose which is on a 60/40 pressure switch. i pull the radio box, and the steering knucke bolt, and wrap the air filter in a glad elastic wrap topper for bowls ect. works great, hose the hell out of it. spray it down with wd 40 after a 20 minute dry, then i use the air compressor to finish it up. comes out really clean.

Ya I just yank out electronics and spray away making sure to be careful when spraying near the engine. Motors for these things are cheap!!! So if I happen to wreck one...Who cares!

I know I cannot wait, I was at our track yesterday it is all torn up, all loose soil about 3-4 inches of sandy/top soil mix and paddle tires would've been awesome, I cannot wait till the clay comes in a couple days. But I was still spraying rooster tails about 2feet high with the regular tires.

one thing i make sure i do after i wash my Baja is start it and let it run after for a couple minutes. One time after washing it i brought it straight inside and didnt mess with it for a few days and when i had it apart the next time i found that the coil had become rusty and also the magnets on the flywheel, so if you let it run for a bit the fan in the motor will help dry out the internals pretty well.

BTW cool vid, if you are feeling inclined to buy something, pick up a pair of Proline Maxx Paddles and fit them to the stock rims like several of us have done and life will be much more fun in the sand
