    Toyota Guy Considering Land Rovers...

    Possible Jeep to Disco convert...need some input from the experts!

    I'd say you're a lucky lil kid w/your dad taking you on such trip(s) to Baja @ a young age with or w/o the nude hippies (smile). Suppose progress is slow if in the late 60s road was paved up to San Felipe only, and (on this trip) it took 50+ years to pave the road passed San Felipe to...

    jh, that was one of my wife's initial concerns; so I got a kitchen pass to go solo w/my LR club buddies this time. Got back safely; crossed the border, didn't stay in large cities e.g. Mexicali and went straight to our destination. Sky didn't fall and she was jealous w/all the great stories...

    Paved and easy drive from the Mexicali border to San Felipe; from San Felipe to Puertecitos some dips on the road but paved. A few miles after Puertecitos, unpaved and rough but doable. Are you planning a trip?

    Nice photos Ted. Yup, would have been 4 CTs but 3 were plenty eye candies to look at. Wow, tire blowout - missed the excitement after leaving Ballarat. Baja Mexico is next. Dan, hope your arm is better and avail. Rupert needs a co-pilot. Don't worry about fuel cost he said - just be our...

    XOOM tablet based carputer project (work in progress)

    Nice work. Have you decided on which navigational (for off-road) app you're going to use? My Xoom is wifi-only. Ideally (my wish list) like to intergrate an external GPS antenna for improved reception/Xoom/APRS Ham on mine.
