I still wouldn't be caught in one of these on the Pole Line Rd. due to large dimensions of the H2. They can keep their mall crawler!TMW - 7-28-2005 at 10:00 AM
They do look big. The H3 is smaller in size and in dollars.Bruce R Leech - 7-28-2005 at 10:06 AM
the H6 will fit in your pocketTomas Tierra - 7-29-2005 at 10:29 AM
I think you could do well offering a service of bush scratching peoples hummers for them. You know to make it look cool going down the freeway. Bruce R Leech - 7-29-2005 at 10:53 AM
notice they did not put it up against the jeep hurricane.Ken Cooke - 8-2-2005 at 08:52 PM
I saw the H3 for the 1st time this week, and that little thing made me laugh! What a joke!Neal Johns - 8-2-2005 at 09:41 PM
Not as hard as I laugh at Jeeps!
Hi Ken
I would rather push a Toyota than ride in a Jeep!

Do you have any opinions on the 2005 Toyota Four-runner? Any good for serious Baja back-roading?
Is it better than my 1989 Izusu Trooper, you think?
BarryKen Cooke - 8-3-2005 at 05:03 PM
If the '05 4 Runner has a rear locking differential and LT265 tires, I am sure it would do great in the Baja backcountry. It looks as if it has the
clearance, and I am sure it is a quality SUV that won't leave you stranded...TMW - 8-3-2005 at 06:08 PM
The 05 4 Runner comes with the 4.7 V8 as an option and a 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual. is 4 inches wider and the 4x4 version comes with the LT265
size tires.Neal Johns - 8-3-2005 at 07:05 PM
Barry, I have no experence with the 05 4Runner, but it should be OK with what I know about the suspension.
The Trooper and 4Runner both need lockers in the rear (available, for both), and both have good ground clearance, so are fine.
Thanks, Neal-----

I will give the 4-runner a closer look, but I am not selling my Trooper, even tho it does not have a "locker" (wish it did).Ken Cooke - 8-5-2005 at 07:39 PM
The Tacoma pictured had a wonderful time running the backcountry trails in Baja. With a moderate suspension lift and some beefy BFG tires, this
locked TRD Tacoma when wherever Mike pointed it.
i have a jeep cherokee 1995...

and love it as it is very reliable....so tell me what
you dont like about jeeps???TMW - 8-16-2005 at 06:34 AM
I was on the Pole Line trip with Ken in April and I don't think the Cherokee had any problems. I believe it was the CJ series that requires an after
market oil pan shield and gas tank shield. A lift wouldn't hurt either. Ken had a good setup. A Toyota 4x4 comes stock ready for off road adventures.

Those Toyotas are comfortable as well as capable. Reliability can also be a good thing in Baja!bajalou - 8-17-2005 at 07:59 AM
Ken, Are you getting ready to make the change??

The 4-runner is a good wagon. Look at the much better (in a different class) Land Cruiser. I took my 97 (last year of the 80 series) to Baja last
weekend. It will go anywhere and is a true luxury car as well. Central lockers are standard. With gas up, this being an uneconomical old-world engine
prices for the Land Cruiser are really good right now. Example, my wagon new would be $65,000 but with 100K miles $13,000. The engines are rated for
300,000 miles between rebuilds which can be done three times.
