OK, I feel I have brought La Mula along and it is well on its way to being an overland /camping, Baja Bound Rig. I think with all the work I've done, and will continue to be doing, I feel It deserves a build up thread.
This is the first rig, I ever used off road, well on moderate to difficult trails that is. I've been taking my suvs off road primarily for surf trips down to baja. I've had other 4 wheel drive suvs (early 90s pathfinder, (proved to be reliable during the time I've had it.) late 90s s10 blazer, (for the most part reliable, except for electrical issues here and there) and a late 90s Jeep Grand Cherokee (nice comfy interior, fast on the throttle) that due to its taste for expensive repairs (including having to replace the engine after 88K miles, led me to look for a Toyota Product and it looks like I will never look back.
