Re: Baja or bust
Been posting a lot on the CB site as there are a lot of guys in the group from all over but we made it to La Paz tonight which was the most south we were going. We will start making our way back north tomorrow. It’s been an adventure for sure but as Scott has said, CO rigs are representing well. I had to replace a uJoint and rear pinion seal. Looks like my driveshaft is not perfectly straight from the transfer case to the rear axle so it keeps wearing that uJoint our closest to the pinion. Will need to adjust that when I get back. We’ve seen some missions, tore up some dirt roads, slept in a tent right on a cliff overlooking the sea of Cortez, stayed in a quaint Mexican fishing town, fixed a lot of stuff on other Broncos, a small group of us went fishing and caught grouper, Snapper, and trigger fish that was prepared at a local restaurant in Loreto for some family style dinner, handed out matchbox cars and coloring books to the kids as we go through town, found an Oasis in the middle of the desert called San Ignacio where we stayed one night, and we are all Baja tested and will be cleaning dirt out of crevices on our Broncos and ourselves for months. It’s been an aggressive plan but a once in a lifetime opportunity that I’m so glad I’m part of. Now let’s just hope we’ve worked out all kinks and the 1000 miles back to the States goes smoothly!

Re: Baja or bust
Made the drive back to Loreto from LaPaz, via the road less travelled. Went thru the gem of Baja, San Javier, with their 300 yr old mission. A really good day in Baja with the Colorado Broncos continuing to go hard!

Eck - I had to look real hard at your last pic with the red bus in the background. Same bus I assume, just a pano?

Re: Baja or bust
I hope this becomes an annual event or at least a five year event, I'd really like the opportunity to run Baja.
