Ah, those three holes on each side of the front fender....

Whats the matter with all of you? I see it.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I think your front left tire needs air and your tail light is out... safety firts..good luck...don't forget before a trip to Baja wax the paint, but
in your case it will not be necesary....
PS. in your pix it looks like you are close to Papa Fernandez exit...
BAJA IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE, FUN,DANGEROUS,INCREDIBLE, REMOTE, EXOTIC..JUST GO AND HAVE FUN.....

Bajacat,
You misspelled the word that follows "safety". Here is your error: You used an i instead of an a. 
That's OK. Just don't let it happen again. I do understand that you are trying to protect the environment. - The Emissions Police

An MC (or emcee) is the host of a staged event or similar performance. " M.C." is an abbreviation of " Master of Ceremonies".
Fez is for a nickname from the Navy = Fez = Fes = ******
I'm that guy that stands out in a crowd :-) McFez

the trailer is a 98 USAVenturcraft Trailblazer (closed in 1999)...found the trailer on craigslist in Lubbock, TX...rehabbed it and matched the color
and hubs to the FJ...it opens into a queen size bed, 4x6 dressing area and the understory is 25cu ft of storage, accessible in camp or on the
road..torsion axles...
the little 12 foot Valco tinnie and 9.8 Merc did fine (Note: built a set of the "plug in" beach wheels WOW do they make it easy to launch, compared to
the transom mount wheels!!!) ...just gotta get the motor angle set right...damn hard to get up on plane (if thats even possible with two adults and
gear???)...and the trip from Puntal Final up to Gonzaga Bay is a lot further and slower than I thought
but we had a great time

Very cool using Toyota FJ wheels and All Terrain TAs for the trailer tires!
Now, what happened between Punta Final and 'Gonzaga Bay'...?
"...and the trip from Puntal Final up to Gonzaga Bay is a lot further and slower than I thought but we had a great time"
It is 10.5 miles from Punta Final to Rancho Grande/ Pemex... 2 more to Alfonsina's and 3.8 more to Papa Fernandez'.

I suppose your jigs are the same color as your car...
That road does get rough at the point you are talking about. It may be a few more miles to GB.....but boy....it's a whamo on the shocks!
How was the fishing out there anyhow?
