I think they were driving jeeps. So probably still waiting for tows. There are only a few tow trucks in that area,... :lol::lol:

Ken messaged me on Facebook and said a trip report is coming tomorrow.
Goat, tow trucks can't get near there, only tow Toyotas... such as TW' s... except he towed a Ford, not one Jeep broke.

The jeeps probably broke down in first few hours, while still on pavement. On I-8, on mex 5, etc.
I drove over the 8 last weekend and noticed car parts all along the highway, they did look like jeep parts. :lol::lol:

The only parts you saw Mt666 where the little parts that used to be between your ears. Funny how the marooon that knows nothing about Mexico or off road can talk about Jeeps.The village idiot speaks again.:bounce:

Its only because your too stupid to drive one:bounce:

Where do you guys get all the info about unreliable Jeeps?
Don't have one so they must be bad. Lots of fake info out there.
I drive mine and break it, but its not because of a bad design. Operator error and an obstacle that is not compatible with my ability or my Jeep. One thing for sure I don't blame Jeep.
Really Jeeps are for off-road. They are not for a daily driver. Use them for the intended purpose and you will be happy.

PaulW - 2-22-2017 at 06:36 PM

Want to know about really bad cars? Much worse than any Jeep is a VW Jetta/Golf. I bet there are plenty others. I have the bills to prove it.

PaulW - 2-22-2017 at 06:47 PM

Why not stay on topic instead of screwing up an simple question about the trip?
And sure enough nobody had any issues regarding vehicles. Rain was negligible and not worth discussion. However I did run my wipers south of Gauadlupe on Saturday for a short time. No mud and no dust - pretty nice trip.
Winch got used twice and no straps used. Ask Ken not me. No body damage that I saw. I am sure the Tacoma has shiny places underside.
Track changed a small amount in the washes especially near AG.

Jeeps, gotta love 'em!

I owned one back in 1975-1977, it was a Cherokee Chief, 401 V8, Automatic, Quadra-Trac full-time 4WD, got it new... Made maybe two Baja trips with it and several Borrego Desert trips... It was always breaking or failing something. Either poor product quality or very poor workmanship. When it wasn't being repaired, I could drive it anywhere with the four-wheel drive system it had.



I sold it and bought my first Subaru 4WD wagon, and what a joy it was to have a car made so well, there were no warranty repairs needed, no failed parts or poor workmanship. Years later, I bought another American brand vehicle and the same product failing nightmares returned. Never again. However, I still love Jeeps but have learned to not own one. I need something reliable when I am exploring Baja, usually without other vehicles.

You guys need remember the village Idiot Mt66 is only talking BS. The fact is all cars and trucks have made good and bad models.The old Jeeps with inline six where great.The weak ones Early Jeep liberty V6 3.7. All the real jeeps like Kens and Eds are great rides. To drive a jeep or dirt bike off road.You need guts,skill,smarts.With Mt66 marooon has none so he talks smack.

These Jeeps didn't look like basket cases, David. No reports of simple breakdowns while monitoring the event on Facebook.
