Larry, get into a new Tacoma extra cab or double cab and slide the driver's seat back... wow, Wilt Chamberland would be happy! Tons of room... I am
not tall, but a bit wide, and the Tacoma is very comfortable driving long distances. I am sure the Tundra is too.
I am happy your Chevy works for you... I have friends who have them too, and like them (or say they do)!
My Tacoma is 1 year and 7 months old and has almost 50,000 miles already... No breakdowns, failures, etc. considering all the Baja miles it has on it.
I did report two issues so far, a break noise that ended with the first replacement of the pads and the rear suspension is too soft. There were no
other problems or complaints, so far!
My first Tacoma (a 2001) had 136,000 miles on it in just 5 years and only the water pump was replaced after it had a drip at 90,000 miles... No
failures causing a breakdown, no other complaints.

My Ford Ranger was a real piece of $&!t, but in San Ignacio on Christmas day, we were able to source a brake master cylinder out of a totalled
Ford Explorer, and I was on my way within hrs. to Sta. Rosallita.
I FOUND ONE!!!!!!

...here in Norte California (Half Moon Bay)...and visited with a German couple that are heading to Baja in their home-built European Diesel powered
Toyota Land Cruiser. This rig is really compact, and every possible space is devoted to part of their gear...I gave them a BAJA TIME sticker to add
some real 'class' to aft side of their unique rig!
Look for them down Baja way...they are going to take the Ferry out of La Paz. They will then continue all the way down Central American and have
their rig transported as deck cargo from Panama to Equador...

that is nicePackoderm - 3-12-2007 at 10:11 PM
That last Toyota just might be the ultimate rig. But I don't know about the availability of diesel South of Mexico. I like the style of the cab. I
know that camping spot (or would it more accurately be called a parking spot?) at 1/2MB.Packoderm - 3-12-2007 at 10:16 PM
It looks like the ultimate father/son rig. I don't think an American woman could handle it for any length of time - unless you are staying in a hotel
each night that is.Desertbull - 3-12-2007 at 10:45 PM
If Amo has a Big Unit--then this is my Bigger Unit! Good seeing you over the
holidays Aaaay-MO. Thx for stopping by! Here's my pick!

To defend the fine women who peruse this board and some of which have proven to be completely "Baja Proven," and of course some that have proven NOT
to be "Baja Proven," could you explain why an American woman could not handle it...I could probably name at least 10 women on this board that I know
who could handle it..and I think they're American...
All the WIW could handle it eh Neal?
:moon:
Me: I just strapped em' to the roof and haul azz...
Okay--I'm kidding already!
But really what gives here man! Don't get mad .. I'm just curious!AmoPescar - 3-13-2007 at 01:38 AM
Hi there Bull,
Those UNICAT's are awesome BIG UNITS!!! I would love to have one of them. Maybe I'll get one when I win the Mega Millions Lotto, because that how
much it would take.
It was good to see you too!!

Probably any woman posting on this board can handle some adventure Baja travel in the Toyota above. A bunch of the other women might say they could
handle a long trip in the little Toyota thing, but they will get cranky and want to bail after awhile. A couple of days maybe. Most would take a look
at the size of that thing and say, " No way." American women were brought up on luxuries. But I will take you to task on researching this issue if you
insist. First I will need to get possession of the vehicle and some time off. I will need help on obtaining both of those. If you want to help...David K - 3-13-2007 at 06:17 PM
