I'd rather just go with a POS Toyota, that I could bounce off things and even roll with a smile.
I cringe at every little nick I put in my 66 bronco.
$45k is a whole lot of money for an offroad truck. $45k is a wholelot of money period. |
5 years ago, people wouldn't think that $45K was even a drop in the bucket for a decent rig. I have a friend building his JK Unlimited for the trails
of Baja, SoCal Deserts & Mountains, and he has been pleasantly surprised at how little the price is of the new Rancho rock rails and bumpers that
he is purchasing - roughly half the price of the earlier TJ model he had which was unfortunately stolen.
For that money, I would buy a $30K Unlimited Rubicon and spend the remaining $15K on tires ($1.5K), Suspension ($2K), Gears/axlex ($3K), Body armor
($2K), Intake ($350), Winch w/combo compressor ($2K), HID lighting (1K), Walker Evans beadlocks ($2K) and 2 ARB Freezer Fridges ($1.5K).
Here is how I would travel Baja

I could see myself in that yellow rig |
