Next morning, headed into Ensenada for some fish tacos at El Fenix. Super fresh and tasty and they had a smoked marlin that was amazing. Then did the tourist chaos at La Bufadora, a big blowhole on the coast. It is overrun with vendors selling everything u can imagine, but the kids enjoyed it...

While at the winery, a Mexican from Tijuana had a stunning 2016 last edition D90 #2 of 10 in a beautiful grey color. Super nice guy and he has an older 110 as well.

Headed through Tecate, and to Guadalupe Valley, the wine region outside of Ensenada. It's a beautiful valley with tons of wineries and restaurants. With Covid still in effect, many were requiring reservations in advance so we were turned away. But we did taste at Bodegas F Rubio. They have an...

Traveled down into Baja this past week for an awesome vacation. This trip was less offroad but still quite an adventure. Headed to San Diego Friday night before crossing the border at Tecate Saturday morning. Rolling down in a new vehicle, I wanted my FMM travel visa stamped as the vehicle...

I'll take it please! One side is ripped on mine so I can hang it off the back. Will pay for shipping

I think the P300 has plenty of power. Comparing the 300hp of the defender vs the 300hp of my LR3 is very different. The 8 speed transmission I think makes the difference and the turbo spools up early. It feels much quicker than than LR3. On the Mojave Road, the 4 cylinder sips gas compared to...

I replace my MAF every 1.5 years in the LR3. They die all the time. I would say get an oem Bosch, but seems they all fail. Change it out in 5 minutes.

Getting tippy!

Planning to head to Baja in 2 weeks with the new defender. Won't be any hard-core wheeling but always fun to get south of the border.

This Pangea green 110 had a killer factory matte wrap. It's a clear wrap that goes over the paint giving it the matte look. Looks awesome in person but costs like $4k.

Some fun sections and a couple challenging obstacles to play on.

Took the new defender to the Land Rover Experience in Carmel. Great day and saw lots of new owners learning the capabilities of their trucks. Was even a $200k+ Long Wheel base full size SV Autobiography edition out there. I let my wife drive the trails and it gave me a chance to get some pics...

I've seen a rear tie rod destroyed on an LR3 on the trail firsthand. We had to ratchet strap and limp to pavement and wait for a tow. Its more common than u think. That bracket definitely looks worthwhile.

Had another 2020 Defender Godwana Stone 110 on the trail as well. He has the OEM expedition rack and I have the Front Runner. The OEM is harder to attach things to.

Some more pics

Took her on Mojave Road for her first trail. 3 days of cool track, nothing took challenging but I did blow a sidewall as the sub was going down.

to do it correctly, you need EVERYTHING. carpet, seat belts, rear upper molding for seat belts, hardware, finishing plastic. it took me a full day to swap seats between 2 trucks. It isn't technically difficult, just time consuming. Check out my thread here for some pics. I recently updated the...

I had them powdercoated but in a gloss. I won't powdercoat sliders as their purpose is to get scraped up. Wheels will get dinged up but hopefully not as bad. I should be able tontouch them up so they don't rust. At only $125 each wheels, it wasn't bad.

I will do a separate writeup of the install as it is not straight forward and the rails need to be removed.
