Wondering who is going where over the fourth, though I suspect a few of you are already in the south.

If all goes well I'll be arriving on the fourth. In Mulege that is. Is there room for us at burro beach? Either that or I'll have to track down Bruce.

David, we'll be in my white Toyota with my Honda XR in the back. We'll keep an eye open for your Tocoma. Just read the Consumers Reports write up on
the new Tocoma. I think that will be my new company truck next year, 4.0 V6 crew cab version. Towing cap. is 6500, I need that for my snow cat.

Bruce, it's between Mulege and Scorpion Bay (San Juanico) in the middle of the sierra... south of (ex-Mision) Guadalupe...
TW, OK see you maybe... Yes, I am begining to see how to convert my '01 to an '05... a double cab this time as my kids have grown! However, they are
mostly coming in with limited slip differentials andI prefer to have a locking diff. Any opinion on this?

I have a positraction in the rear of my Toyota, stays locked all the time. I had it put in right after I bought it in 93. My 91 chevy and my 04 GMC
both came with a locking differential in the rear, that unlocks at about 25mph. From an off road standpoint in the sand or rocks I don't notice any
difference. However in snow I prefer the positraction. I've gotten the chevy stuck a couple of times and it's almost impossible to keep both rear
wheels locked to get out. It's my understanding that emergency vehicles come with this type of locker so they don't spin out on their run to the scene
or to the hospital where they could hit ice.

Positraction is a limited slip?
The '01 TRD has a pneumatic operated locking diff. only to be used to climb in 4WD LOW... and not over 5 MPH. A true locker.
Limited slip has clutches that force power to the tire with traction. On the Widow Maker, I would like to havepower go to one or both tires in back,
that have traction.. not waisted to a tire that is in the air as I climb those boulders.
What will the new Toyota Limited Slip do that is good or equal to the lockers now on my rig? Should I be okay with Limited Slip or not? Do the
clutches wear out and add to maintenance costs?

David, I don't think you would have problems with it. My positractionis an after markit unit and I've never had any problems with it either so far at
130,000 miles. With it coming from Toyota I would expect the same superior quality as their other produces.
Just found out the 4th party is on Monday instead of Sunday so we get to stay another day in Baja. Maybe go to Colonet and San Antonio Delmar and
throw a line in the water. Buy a bottle of Santo Tomas wine and eat fish and drink wine while watching the waves hit the beach and the ATVs ride the
sand dunes.
