nice FJ, spent 2 months in the jungles of CostaRica driving one, sparked my love for 4x4 and especially Toyotas.
I am planning a trip down to Baja in the next week or 2 and would love to hit some of these trails with you. Hi-lift, straps, and a shovel and we
should be pretty capable.

Someone on TacomaWorld.com forums posted from your web site on 4WD use... small world!
I am so happy with my Tacoma that I am on #3 now... can't ever vision having any other brand than Toyota after they have proven to me to be the most
reliable best built Baja rig... and the A-TRAC blows the mind because it turns the truck into a tractor!

Toyota = Built for Baja

well guys, we just finished our historic Baja coast to coast traverse.
It was an epic adventure - definitely not for everyone. About 60 miles in 4 days. The extremely rough center section took 3 days for 5 miles to
complete.

really is stupid to create new tracks where there are none or the old tracks have healed over.
people that drive off established trails make all off roaders appear bad.
what an assinine sequence of pictures.

My opinion is that this shows responsible trail-building by some expedition-minded Baja travelers. Their rigs are in good shape showing that they
know what they are doing as well.

you should level your house - and let the spot heal over
where will you be living?
plan on using any roads in the future?

There is a big difference between maintaining an existing trail and building a new one. If your route requires a chain saw and earth moving equipment
pick a different route or get a vehicle that can handle whats there. You would never get away with this crap in the states.

Thank you Harald... How about a map or describe where your road is so more of us 4 wheelers can enjoy it?
As for the 'Greenies' here on Nomad... I wonder where you guys were when the government bulldozed down a 200 meter+ wide swath through the Baja desert
to build Mexico Highway 1? That was some massive destruction for hundreds of miles of land, plants and animals just to scrape up an elevated
roadbed... Or, is anything government does is okay, but private citizens who hand build a path by moving rocks somehow 'evil'???

I did not refer to anyone as "evil."
Ken
Don't give these guys any ideas or their next point vehicle will be made by Caterpiller.
DK
Hwy 1 was not built just for the hell of it i.e. as an adventure and just because I object to the pointless alteration of nature in the name of sport
doesn't make me a "greenie." I, too, drive the ole '98 TJ in the back country but the fun for me is getting around, over, or under obstacles - not
moving them out of my way.

The rains and hurricanes often destroy roads and trails that block the locals. Case in point is the Comondu road between La Purisima and San Javier.
Because of the damage the section from Comondu to San Javier is closed to all but MC traffic and maybe a few really BA 4x4s for the most part. The
question is should it be repaired for use or should it go back to nature? Who is to say that some locals may use the road that 4x4 just opened instead
of going around on a longer path. I remember when the north road from the San Borja mission was torn up and blocked by heavy rains, should that have
been left alone? People could still get in from Rosarito.
