The Beast has received lots of loving care and many needed upgrades, including a new radiator, newer transmission, major tuneups, etc. It’s ready to tackle Baja and get there with plenty of life left. There was one problem…The rear tires were pretty bad. When we tell anyone about the Baja3000, their first question is, “how are your […]

Packin’ Party
Two rigs are filled to the roofs, Team Manresa & Team El Dorado. With all the donations we’ve received I wondered if we could even fit everything in. Bob’s house had tons of goodies….

Vehicle Recipients
Bobbie just got some specific word from the folks in Cabo who will be receiving the vehicles when we arrive… Check it out. Rumor has it that Brozda has found a specific organization in Todos Santos that works with disabled kids. Apparently, he’s looking for a rig that is “lift” equipped. Mike is also still looking for […]
Team Eldorado
Sloppy Joe has done the deal… In fact, he received a brand new set of tires from AMZ Financial. The Lunsford/Zuccolotto Baja3000 rig is a 1991 3/4 ton Suburban…blue on blue…hands down the best ride so far. Randy is keeping busy somewhere in Soquel….
