If anyone coming to the book signing would be willing and able to pick-up a couple of parts for me, please U2 me for the needed info. we are headed
up Thursday morning, so if anyone can, let me know, I will be forever greatful...(and yes, drinks of your choise is in the offering!) Thanks in
advance.

Oh oh, parts aren't available in Baja for the super versatile Toyota. This bodes ill for the Toyota/Baja legend.
Debra, it is not my intention to make light of your predicament, and I hope that your issue is quickly resolved. It's just that I thought that just
about all Toyota parts were widely available in Baja.

I'm leaving for Ensenada Tuesday morning. I could stop buy the Toyo dealer and get your stuff if you'd like.
My U2U isn't working right but email me if you want.

Uh-oh, I've been trying to decide Ford v. Toyota, and so I'm glad I stumbled into this blog...
Fishbuck: I tried to U2U you - but maybe you didn't get my note of gratitude - that was so awesome and sweet of you to look into a truck for me. I am
going to start doing some legwork this weekend, maybe even hitch a ride to the May 5 event...
So, uh, maybe its Ford after all? If I get stuck before getting to Loreto, its not going to be pretty - once in Loreto, I hope I do get stuck. For
about a month, in fact...maybe I should get the Toyota???

Packy, even more astounding is the fact that this is apparently the first recorded instance of ANY Toyota ever having ANY problem ANYWHERE on the
peninsula.
Well, at least if you listen to some.............
Baja_girl, in your pricerange, I would go 1/2 ton Ford or Chevy from the mid 90s. Probably less reliable than the Toys but so much more comfortable in
the cab and so much more carrying capacity. I love 8 foot beds......uh, in trucks that is.

Debra,
If Fishbuck can't get the parts in his part of town, maybe I can get them in San Diego where I live. We're coming to the book signing this weekend.

DAng, Debra, hows that for service.
Bajawarrior/Chuck, you need to have a beer with my man Bajaguy/Terry at the book signing. You guys will hit it off.
Also, Chuck. Had the boat out for the first time yesterday. Motor runs great, had a few small, but perplexing problems. I thought it would be
underpowered with how deep the V is on the hull, but that bad boy cruises at 30mph. Thanks again, we love it.

One thing about parts from a dealer, I know that if Dodge didn't sell the vehicle in Mexico, the unique parts are not available thru the dealers. (V10
for example)
Don't know if this applies to Ford, Chevs, and Toyota's as well, but something to think about with the newer vehicles.

Some parts you probably wouldn't want to buy from a dealer. My 91 chevy headlight is almost $400 new from the dealer. The hardware on it is not
available separate, you buy the whole thing. After market headlight $95.

IMHO
#1 most recycled engine parts in MX. Chevy 350
#2Nissan anything. Still plenty of Datsun B-210's driving around
#3 toyota 22R. They recycle the old ones
#4 ford 351. The high outputs were good, but didn't last long. Were those the windsor, or the cleveland?

The truth is, I always thought that Toyota parts would be more widely available in Baja than other brands - at least for the parts you absolutely need
to get running again. I thought that would be the case because Toyotas are so popular down there. I'm interested in hearing what part is needed.

Tom,
Glad to hear the good news about the boat, I told ya, it's a good motor and I'm glad for you that you got her running well. It sounds like you have it
back home?
Read your post about being pulled over in Ensenada for a tail light infraction (ha! which we knew could happen) funny stuff!
Talk to ya soon,
Chuck
