    For those thinking of taking their vehicles to T.J. for paint an body work. I'm pretty sure your American Auto Insurance Policy WILL NOT cover your vehicle if it is stolen
    while across the border into Mexico. Unless that is your objective of course!

    Speaking of which. Can someone recommend a place to buy Mexican automotive insurance online? I'm going to Baja in November and would like to be covered. I've heard you can buy it before crossing but I would like to have it ahead of time.

    Yep, most US auto insurance will not provide coverage outside the US - check your policies to be sure.

    I drive into Mexico about 4-5 times a year, but I will only get Mex insurance if I plan on an all-day trip. I got it once when I drove to Ensenada for a wedding. I paid about $15 for 24 hour coverage, but I don't remember the vendor. The second time was through Sanborns online and cost $20.

    If you pay a toll fee on Mexico roads, you get limited coverage, even if you are at fault.
    See here for more info: https://www.bajabound.com/before/driving/tollroads
    I can vouch for the Green Angels service. In late 80’s, driving through Sonora, our family Dodge van sustained a blown front wheel bearing. A Green Angel unit pulled over to assist us and provided a free wheel bearing. Back then, the conical wheel bearing was a common design, and easy to replace in the field.

    I have used Mex Insurance many times over 20 years for single or multi day trips, including last minute emergency trips to Baja and Sonora. Their number is 619-691-7747, can also buy policies online or via phone. They are just off E street exit from the I805 if going through Tijuana. They offer insurance from multiple vendors at different prices. I have not had an accident so have not needed the insurance. They have 4.9 stars on Yelp.

    Howdy all, hope everyone is doing well.

    In the San Diego area, where does one go for getting fenders painted? On the truck.

    Located in Yuma Arizona
    Ironman 4x4 2005+ Tacoma Leaf Springs
    0 to 440lbs

    Too much spring for my 4cyl Tacoma tried using them for 10 months. I don't regularly carry loads in my bed they would be perfect for me I had a constant 200 to 400lb in my truck bed. Hope they can work for someone else build.



    Perfect for constant weight like RTT Tents Tools Generators Motorcycles Atvs ect.

    Late to the party, but I normally use Baja Bound ins. Just another one to look into for options if still needed.

    I appreciate that

    I'm running the Icon RXT leafs without the extra leaf and 600lb springs on my front at 2 1/4 preload

    It feels pretty dialed now

    Out on a hike and this Coast Guard crew must be training as there are no emergency vehicles around. Sycamore Canyon, about a mile W of 67. In 2nd pic you can see a dude being pulled up in front of that boulder.

    Probably practicing R/R, hovering is one of the hardest things to do in a rotary wing aircraft, especially in proximity to uneven ground due to air effect. I used to help a volunteer rescue team and went on a few of them and when they get low near uneven terrain they can do some weird stuff especially if you're a new pilot. One of the 4 of the times I went the guy was new to rescue flying and it was far more "Exciting" than the others were by quite a margin. :help: I was hoping to keep all this as a simulation and not the real deal, and since I can't really rescue myself, especially if unconscious, that can get complicated from what I hear, haha!

    Nice pics, hope you are doing well buddy!
