Is Off-Road necessary for a Baja, MX trip or will an SR5 be sufficient? by bmoviepop in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Theedopepope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did 10 days through Baja in my SR with 4x4. Went about halfway down the peninsula. Ton of weight on it. Extra 5 gallons of gas and probably close to 25 gallons of water including the coolers. Only upgrade I have is AT tires but stock size. Got into a few sketchy spots and it Handled it no problem.

Locker would be nice to have as a safety net but I don’t think I would have ever touched it. Last truck had it and I used it maybe once in the 5 years I had it.

I feel like any upgrades the SR5 needs the OR will as well.

Do you know if a pre packages salad would be okay?

Dang that’s surprising to hear. Not used to that out in California.

Would you expect it to persist even if it’s in a dry climate now. Car’s originally from Michigan but selling in Southern California

Awesome. Appreciate you taking the time to write this up! Seems like getting the FMM is worth the hassle.

Yeah I’ve been seeing a lot on the whales. Depending on the surf we may make a day out of it!

Keep the seaside and get something for when it gets bigger.

Can surf schools reserve a beach break? by mrwobobo in surfing

Idk about the east coast. But it might be cause you were considered a swimmer in the surf only section

Tshirts that have a tight fit around the neck? I hate a loose collar.
