GITT and post a pic of your baja ride(s)

What you got?






[Edited on 9-28-2019 by JZ]

This is my Baja and Desert rig of choice.


This is my newest rig but I am not sure I want to do any mods, it's just too pretty. But I'm thinking. Just did 18 days and 7,000 miles back east to visit family and friends in it.

Built it for Baja.

Some weird stuff going on with either the site or photobucket. Pic in the op shows.up on my laptop, but not my phone. 2nd time I have noticed this in 2 days. Do others see it or not?

The ultimate Baja cruiser.

Handsome, the '78 El Do Biarritz was the ultimate bomb. Bought one from a client as a fixer-upper in the late '80s, was gonna drive it a few weeks as a lark and re-sell it. (I had a '71 landcruiser at the time).

Then I drove it.

Had it for 6 or 7 years. Had it on 4wd roads with pickups looking at me like a bull looking at a new gate. Pushed 18" of snow with the front bumper.

Still go on ebay and reminisce. *sigh*

I stopped to take the photo. Seriously, you needed clarification?

I have two, but only one is going this fall. Our Saurer 6dm, a Swiss-built military truck with a German Army box converted into living quarters. Also have a built 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, lift, lockers, bit tires, etc. Would like to take both, but, have electric bikes and a boat for toys this time.

My high school girl's truck in Schofield Pass, between Crested Butte and Crystal, CO. Works in Baja too.

Looks better in Baja but here it is in the driveway

What size tires are you running on it?

My current ride (Tacoma), and the unkillable Tercel in Guatemala near the border with Belize in '95. Ok, I killed the tires and shocks. I'd just blasted though a very deep and long mudlbog that had a large stake-bed delivery truck stuck to the frame. Wipers & 4wd on, hit it floored at 55, much to the amusement of the crowd. I blew out one of the plugs in the sidewalls. We put tubes in a couple of the most punctured/patched tires right after this. The Tacoma has Tundra front brakes, steel braided lines, heavier front springs and 3 leaves added in the rear.

My f-150 is a more comfy ride. That thing looks like it would give me a sore back and kidneys on baja potholed roads! I that thing would require driver and pax to wear hearing protection!

Saw one of those on a baja washboard road last year. They were doing 4 mph to avoid dental damage

1981 Mercedes Unimog camper (photo from original builder/owner). Shakedown cruise starting next month from our home in Yellowstone to Baja. 8-10 weeks. Next up, the full Pan American starting in July...kind of excited currently adding mods...upgraded solar, batteries, radiator, hope the weather cooperates! Last time in Baja we tent camped, but had an amazing time...

This 2003 Quigley has done us well.

Trailering down, no camper yet.

Here's my daily cruiser once I get down to our casa in BCS:

Getting to the middle of nowhere in this tank is a lot of fun for sure !
