Yes, and more specifically, Km. 107: Playa el Coyote on the smaller Bahía el Coyote, on the big Bahía Concepción...

 

These are bad ass, specs?

 

thanks bro! I love them, I only swapped for a different color. They’re the -25 offset so it has a nice stance. I have four aluminum protection rings as well I can throw in.

Looking for some tint recommendations, thanks.

 

Tint World on Miramar Rd did great work on a wrap for me, I would assume they would have the same level of care for their namesake service

 

Anyone have any recommendations for a tire shop in North County (closer to San Marcos the better)? I have a set of factory takeoffs for my wife's Mazda that I need the TPMS on the car already swapped over to then balanced.

 

Discount Tire has always been reliable for me. There's two in Escondido.

 

I second Discount Tire. I go to the one off Broadway in Esco.

 

Another one for Discount Tire. The manager David at the Broadway store is a good guy.

 

North County Tire in Escondido. Right up the street from JD Fab.

 

I used the Discount Tire in San Marcos for TPMS replacement and new tires, in the past. They are on Grand, along Hwy. 78, just east of San Marcos Blvd.

 

Thank you! Will give them a try!

 

Best place to get some 5100s mounted on my stock coils and installed on truck? I know of the taco garage in Chula, wondering if anyone has other recommendations. Maybe a cmc in the future too. @Speed Freek is this up your alley?

 

I know The Truck Shop is popular next to Miramar.

 

What recycling yards do you guys like to go to for parts?

 

Honestly, any suspension or alignment shop should be able to do this. I've had them done at Firestone for relatively cheap and got an alignment afterward.

 

Speed (Jason) Freek installed my front and rear 5100s... great job! At the same time, he also installed my Ride Rite air springs (bags) that were on my '05 onto my '10.

Looks amazing! What's the water temp like there? Swimmable? I've never been

 

We love heat, warm air and warm water, so we like to go in the summer, but I have gone every month for either camping or for the off-road racing (in the past). Baja is over 700 miles long and the southern end is inside the Tropic of Cancer, about same latitude as Hawaii.
The water in the north part is very cold in the winter but (in the gulf) gets super warm in the summer, day or night. In the south, it can be nice almost all year and very clear.
Here is a photo taken from the highway of one of the many camping beaches along Bahía Concepción:
