Thank you Barry and Woody. I'm checking out Autohome right now. Climbing up and down the ladder is no problem for me.

TONEART...Try Spectre Off-Road in Los Angeles area.
Anyone driving an UNIMOG in Baja?
Last ones I saw were in Robby Gordon's team area at Estero Beach at Baja 500 last year.
There used to be a website that sold used MOGS and they had a picture of one towing a railroad car !!
Those Robby Gordon MOGS make a Hummer look like one of those "smart cars" next to it.

Where can we buy that cartop tent? I have never seen one before. That looks like a good practical idea. Do you have a foam pad in there? Can you close
it down with the pad inside? I would imagine it would get a little unstable up there in a wind. Is the rack part of the tent assembly or will the tent
attach to most racks? Does it detach easily so you can optionally use it on the ground? |
Yes, autohome is the name of the company. It has a 3 inch foam mattress in it, and closed with mattress, blankets and l]pillows. It sets up within
seconds, literally. There are many roof top tents out there, and I chose this one as it is completely wind stable. We've slept up there in the
strongest gusts in BoLA, and it was just fine. The rack is not part of the assembly, it attaches to any rack with parallel bars. To detach it the 4
clamps have to be loosened, which takes about 10 minutes. I store it suspended from the ceiling in the garage.
This is the best thing I ever bought for camping. fast setup, always dry, windproof, and a comfortable mattress. The ladder is good quality, but
certainly a pain, especially on cold nights after some beer in the middle of the night 
cheers,
jan

Do you have pictures |
Here are a few. The roof rack is used for kayaks. I kayak fish Gonzaga Bay annually and sometimes other parts of Baja as well. I also installed a
Swiss Army map light kit with Scanguage, an All Pro high clearance tail pipe, and painted the door handles, mirrors and bezel black.

As I said, going up and down the ladder would not be a problem for me. Now Jan and Curt have introduced the real problem for some of us...ahem...older
gentlemen. Multiple ups and downs not good.

Darn it! I could not upload the photo, but our vehicle, a Ford Expedition, is nothing special, except, this.
Our mechanic friend (who works at a different, unamed, dealership that is currently involved in bankruptcy proceedings), & who is also a Baja
fanatic, took a letter "M," from his supplies, and applied it to the left side of the model identification on the back. Hence, "MEXPEDITION," on the
rear of the vehicle. People in San Diego ask if that is a Mexican version, like the old Ford 150 (I think) produced in Mexico called, "Lobo."
p.s. The Chilangos would say, " You cannot say 'Mexico,' in the title, unless you are speaking of the city. Anything else, is the state." Pues, when
they come up with a hybryd , 4x4 called "Aja," I am first in line.

Holy Crap! I forgot to vote. Sorry DK. Voted Ford. I think it is tied up now.
If I owned one it would have been Suzuki Samurai. Or, Wilson golf cart... with Mexican fringe on the roof... lowered.... with rims... . Sorry, my
East L.A. genetics ees showing.

I've always wanted to stop at the Ford dealership in Ensenada and get a "Lobo" plaque for my Fords. Better yet would be a custom Lobo Herido. That
would be cool.
