The old friend is Loreto Dave.

The 4x4 is a revamped 2002 Ford Expedition. I can't figure out out to post pictures. I just put a new 5.4 motor in it. It's 4 linked with a 9" rear, triple bypasses all the way around. Trophy truck front arms with coil overs, skid plated, winch hookups front and back, 37" beadlocks, gps, race radio, sat phone, sat radio, 2 spares on rack inside.

Oh, this is the fishing thread.....

3 spinning rods, 2 roller tipped 20-40 rods, 2, 2 speed avets, 2 tld 20's, lots of jigs, spoons, gulp baits, hooks and sinkers.

I'm impressed as I own a very stock 2000 Tacoma but it does Kick Butt! Anyway you look at it the road into San Juanico is challenging in the least. Ask Blanca.:O:biggrin: But it does sound like you're up to it. Suerte. Tio

How do I get info on Menos?


We like the food at the "new" Molino Viejo a lot and the bar is the nicest in town right now IMHO.

Very nice inside and out! Stopped in there last October to check it out, ended up just tasting a good Margarita. It's on the list for a dinner next time down.
