My amigo Dave W. (see my May 2025 trip report: https://vivabaja.com/baja-525/ ) and I co-administer the Toyotas in Baja Facebook group. Anyone who drives a Toyota (or Lexus) product in Baja is welcome!
Dave wanted to host an event where members could meet and join in on camping and driving together. This is for Baja newbies or veteran Baja travelers. Not sure if I will be able to attend due to an upcoming surgery!

The brand of vehicle someone drives means they are "like-minded"?

Pretty pathetic to bond over what make of vehicle one happens to drive.

That you would make such an unkind remark to an invitation for a Baja fun run and campout is pathetic. Jeep owners, Land Rover owners, and other brand owners bond outdoors all the time. The Mexicans have both Jeep and Toyota 4x4 clubs in Baja... are they pathetic? Merry Christmas sourpuss.

Brand fandom is an odd thing. I have worn Levis for as long as i can remember… but would never consider selecting travel partners based on wearing Levis.
Cars for me have always been a necessary evil. I got no brand loyalty for cars, they all do the same thing…

Camping out on Shell Island and Gonzaga Bay is always a great time! Enjoy!
