They saved our as s. Great guys. Smiling all the way. Baja in a nutshell.
And here she is on a better day...

2006 Toyota Tacoma Crewcab 4X4 with the full O/R package, including full skid plate, Bilstein Shocks, Lockers, oversize tires, and 12 VDC/120 VAC
Inverter (to run air compressor after airing down the tures).
Its name most of the time is 'taco' (of course) but since it spends half it's time being towed behind my Class A, the name changes to 'toad' when
hooked up. License plate says 'MYTOAD'. Wife wants a window sticker that says 'I go where I'm toad'
Mike & Robin; Full-Time RV\'ers
37\' Georgetown w/3 slides & 275 Watts of Solar Power
06 Taco TRD

My veg tank is 50 gallons, my regular tank, usually filled with homemade biodiesel, is 30, add extra 45 in 3 @ 15 gallon tanks and I am good to go.
Actually 2000 is easy, always get a few hundred over that.
How do you post a picture? Nowhere on this screen do I see any prompts. If I go to "edit" on my earlier post, I can "choose file", but the next screen
shows nothing more than "edit" or "preview post". I do not see anything where I can post or upload. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

My favorite Baja rig is one I just call "The Beast". A basic, older F250 4x4 with manual transmission, HD suspension including front leaf springs,
lockers and a 5.8L that just goes and goes and goes. Here is a photo of The Beast with my good friend Duro taken back in November when we were out
trying to find Mike and Don-Kay.
I have pulled more than a couple of Toyotas out of the sand with this one but who's counting...

Should be ashamed of yourself letting that little kid drive!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Flippac
I drive a Nissan Frontier with a Flippac. It works pretty well! She doesn't have a name yet. She has taken me all over Baja and loves to get dirty.
She even occasionally makes my girlfriend jealous as I often pay her more attention than my gf!
Here are a few pics of her in recent trips:
Catavina:
Balandra:
Camping in Loreto Shores RV Park:
I have a lot of other pics, but they aren't in my photobucket. I'll have to search and upload more.

I agree I have had several newer ones but my all time favorite was my
81 F250 4x4 with a 4 speed and the straight 6. It took me everywhere and I couldn't kill it.

My Baja truck is a Dodge diesel.I bought the Nissan to build and race.I haven't gotten very far on it. Someday. |
The bumper I have is a Calmini. It's ok, but I had originally wanted an ARB. This one popped up and the cost was such that I couldn't pass it up.
It has worked well for me so far. I just feel that if I were to hit a cow in the middle of the night an ARB would serve me better. If you want a
prerunner bumper, I would have one custom made. There are many good shops in socal, and they're not too expensive.
If you are seriously considering building your 2nd gen, I would check out the race-dezert forum. There is a LOT of info over there. The 2nd gens
have many more parts and options if you're going to build it. There is also a classifieds section where Nissan parts periodically pop up.
