Yep, thru El Paso is the way I usually go, but I went I40 since the
Bronco had no a/c, plus, it's a nicer drive. Met the prev. owner at LAX
Thurs. eve., then drove to Barstow for the night. I drove the little
Bronco from Barstow to Amarillo on Friday with only gas stops. She did
beautifully. Amarillo to Dallas was just a hop on Saturday.
Here's a couple of pics:

I knew Garner drove some of these Stroppe modded Baja Broncos and that
he kind of lost interest after only doing so-so.
