Next night was full moon so the tide would have been a bit higher :) Luckily we were heading north by then.

Found out there is a relatively unknown point down in Central Baja called "Punta Baja Bob". Since my name is Bob it sounded like a cool place to check out.:sombrero: http://www.biocruiser.com/punta-baja-bob-and-beyond/

I agree with the previous threads regarding price. 4x4 Toyota's tend to fetch a premium over there. I think a BJ60 would be well suited for Hawaii. When we lived on Kauai our FJ40 was the perfect island vehicle. It was slow which was fine since we were on "Island Time" :) When we moved back...

Pretty much my dream Cruiser :sombrero:

1992 FJ80 diesel conversion Toyota 1HZ and an H150 manual transmission Best I have gotten is 19 mpg (U.S.) and worst mileage is around 15mpg When I went to the BFG KM2 Mud Terrains there was a noticeable drop. :( Tire size is 33 x 10.5 on stock 15" rim I also have a fixed fan clutch which I...

Hi John, I will ask Mike at West Coast Cruisers I am not sure the story on it. Here is another shot of it Bob

A 1HZ works well although most opt for the 1HD-T since it is turbo'd and a little better on fuel :)

Hey Robb, Yep we camped right on the water at Kumiya. Really awesome spot. Bummer no fires but the hot bucket shower made up for it. :) The staff were great and I liked the orientation they gave us beforehand. Probably do another Baja trip this summer after we figure out where we want to go...

I am enjoying your trip report. Looking forward to more pictures I agree about the BFG KM2's they are a great tire for that sort of stuff. Bob

Thanks Yeah Leucadia is still a bit of a hold out from the 60s and 70s :) There are a lot of "Keep Leucadia Funky" bumper stickers around. I remember Ponto back in the early 80s when there wasn't a jetty also. The jetty definitely improved the break and for a year or two after that it was pretty...

Hard to say but we were going to break it into two days anyway since we never drive at night. A good first night stop would be somewhere around Catavina.There is one hotel in townn or you could just desert camp We had originally planned to try to make it close to Guerro Negro the first day but...

Diesel was under $3.00 a gallon which was great. I believe gasoline was cheaper but all of the diesel pumps are located away from the gas pumps (for the big rigs) so I didn't notice. Usually it runs cheaper also Saw your avatar. Our friend's Rubicon worked great down there. I think he took it...
