No surprise to anyone here, but no problems of any consequence. Blew through the front sway bar bushings 1st day, didn't realize it till I figured out that was what all the racket up front was. Amazed at the punishment the 4xInnovations rear bumper with tire carrier and 10 gallons of fuel took, we had multiple mile stretches of whoops, which got real old real quick.

Incredible places, Incredible people down here, friendly really helpful. Almost everyone had some failure, transmissions, rear ends, tire carriers, it was pretty brutal. Friends we were traveling with broke a rear spring in their 90 Montero so we had a couple of Yonke tour days (junk yards) found a shop who took out the pieces and the guy took off with it. 20 minutes later he comes back with a spring that was close. They cut it and got it to work. Different spring rate than the other side so it wasn't perfect, but got us down the road. They actually got it fixed faster than it took us to get ours pressure washed, and there's still mud in places.

Gots lot of pictures to digest when we get home. Looks like we'll have to readjust quickly to snow.

Good update Hopeless and glad to hear all is going reasonably well.

How much did the spring work cost?

Congrats

That is a dream of mine is to enter one of the Baja classes.

Thats one of the questions is how safe is it with the drug wars and the cartels. Lots of people still heading down there.

Definitely need a tough rig to put up with all that abuse. Going over everything 3 or 4 times to triple check its all in order.

Wondering if the 'Green Angels' still operate in Baja? I have great memories of these un-corrupt Tourist assistance 'police' driving Alfa Romeos and wearing white turtlenecks as a kid.......

Edit - nevermind - Google says they still operate but in pickup trucks on toll roads.......

Baja is pretty safe once you get away from Tijuana-Ensenada. Felt safer there then in most of Seattle. Tourists are wanted, and cared for

I have a lot of pictures on my cameras to go through and my wife's phone, along with dash cam for almost all of it. That's what I'm really hoping turns out. We were in some pretty sketchy places, deep in the desert

Not bad for over 365k on the original motor and almost 5000 miles through Baja and back.
