LandRonB Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I thought that I saw your rig at BESA!!! Love the rack!!! Nigel I was thinking of doing the HG myself as a project, but in the interest of time, need for garage space (knowing me a week HG will turn into months - lol) and time needed to prep for the Baja trip, I decided to pay the price. Now I have time focus on the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm still good to go. Passport came in the mail last week .My cousin and a friend will be joining me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm still good to go. Passport came in the mail last week .My cousin and a friend will be joining me. Wohoo! Glad you are coming Lutz! We have solid group so far; here's some noise on Expo re: Mexico; recent (last year's incident); most members are supportive of going but some concerns; I think if we stick to the golden rules: 1) travel only during the day/daylight, 2) stay as a group, 3) use common sense will most likely avoid issues. Plus we will not be entering thru TJ. Post on Expo re: is Baja Safe? http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/64004-How-Safe-is-Baja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teds Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 So, I still have my commitment that first Saturday until noon which means there is not way I can prep my vehicle and family before the trip. But, I may go with Beaver (Michael Beaver) as a passenger in his DII. We have just installed a new lift (TerraFirma shocks and springs) and worked on the brakes in his D2 the past few weeks. I am trying to figure out if we can leave Sacramento at 1pm or if he leaves earlier and I fly down to San Diego for him to pick me up. Either way, I am hoping to be there. I will be leaving the wife and kids at home. Also, came across this new software/maps from NG for baja:http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/ngs/product/national-geographic-national-parks-explorer-3d/baja-explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR109 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Anyone interested in beyond Baja? Nicaragua y Costa Rica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJohnston Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Anyone interested in beyond Baja? Nicaragua y Costa Rica? Yes! But not this year for me. I drove a diesel 4runner in Nicaragua last fall and beat up a Rav4 in Costa Rica a few years ago. LOTS of cool places to explore. I would love to take the LR down there.

LandRonB Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Excellent Ted. Look forward to seeing you on this trip even as co-pilot. BajaRack is hoping to meet w/us in San Felipe. Enrique is still interested in co-piloting (so we have a Discochef w/us). And we have a few solid "yes' I am going on this trip. Can you find out more about the NG map for Baja; description said it will work with popular GPS; want to find out which models; not bad for $25. I may go with Beaver (Michael Beaver) as a passenger in his DII. We have just installed a new lift (TerraFirma shocks and springs) and worked on the brakes in his D2 the past few weeks. I am trying to figure out if we can leave Sacramento at 1pm or if he leaves earlier and I fly down to San Diego for him to pick me up. Either way, I am hoping to be there.

LandRonB Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Anyone interested in beyond Baja? Nicaragua y Costa Rica? Sounds interesting for future trip. Let's get our feet wet with a trip to Baja, San Felipe and beyond... and back in a week for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
