just curious about which kind of roads i may try one day.


I think there was a section on the Vibora grade where a 4x2 vehicle would have trouble unless it had a closed diff.

In fact, there was one rice burner on this trip that attempted the grade in 2wd and was forced to switch to 4wd. At least that's what the radio chatter indicated.

Your explorer would have had more weight on the drive wheels than the Toy truck, so it might have fared better. But the problem with owning a 2wd vehicle is not that you will not necessarily get stuck more often.....it's how often you will have to turn tail at terrain that "may" give you trouble. It will be frequent in Baja.

That said, if you're determined to keep the explorer in retirement, look into getting some kind of locking rear differential. Only deep sand will stop you in most cases.....and that stops alot of 4wd vehicles, too, due to their weight.

Hook is right on. Also put the biggest tires on it that will fit under the front fender well. (this won't be a very bigger tire, alas)
