A stock 2010+/- Tacoma 4-door; a stock 2010 Toyota FJ, and a lifted 1996 Tacoma all made it....barely. All have the equivalent of 31/10.5, all are
4x4, and none have lockers that I know of. Would I do it again?....Maybe, but I'd spend more time than the 2-day run we did it in.
We definitely had to move rocks and pick the routes very carefully.
Truth generally lies in the coordination of antagonistic opinions

Under normal conditions - no. With all of the rain and snow in the area, the conditions will go from moderate to black diamond. I will report back
next week on how it all went down.

Hi Paul,
Our route changed considerably due to rainy conditions on the Laguna Salada that literally flooded portions of it. We took an alternate route that
proved just about as difficult as the Pole Line Road - be sure to check out my trip report in the Baja Trip Report section. My friend Victor took his
GPS, but it was not set up for use in Baja.

Hi Ken,
Yes, they have rerouted the CODE race due to all the rain.
Since I am in San Felipe I only care about the PLR route south of the La Ventana access.
You all experienced the Salida glue. Get it off before it sets up.
Ha.
