I'd love to see pics of the infamous Baja Boot. The only pics I've ever seen were here on the 'net, of course.
And for those who don't know what the BB is, check this out:

Baja Boot 2008 Las Vegas Mint 400
Here are some photos i took when we ran the Baja Boot at the Mint 400 last May, We were able to take the Boot on the pre run the day before the race, The race was a 400 mile race and it was a 4 lap race 100 miles each lap, They let us run it 1 lap 100 miles, It was a major blast

Thank you Ron for sharing the pics with us. Seeing the Boot brings back many, many memories. I'm amazed of its condition today. It looks like Vic built it yesterday. You truly are a lucky man!

The redish 1st gen with the black hood treatment is incredibly sweet! The hood color really works!

1 Ton First Gen
hahahah
I love the first gen hanging from the tree
Awesome!
Sounds like your life is one that I dream about...I have only been in the offroad seen for about 15yrs and at the same time rasing a family so my dreams of being off-road every weekend are only dreams...I hope that as I get into my "old fart" years my off roading time on the trail will tripple. I have my wife groomed for the RV seen so now all I need is time & money
Anyway Thanks for sharing your memories and photos with us

I was so hoping that you had 2 pics, the blazer hanging from the tree and a pic of the ORIGINAL low profile hickey hood. God I'd love to have that style of hood for my 85
Ron, ever think about getting a website started for all those pics? This would be a fantastic way to bring back the memories of Vic's dream and reality.
Lord knows I would definitely have this site on my favorites pages.
