I have a progressive leaf springs on my 3/4 dodge, best investment ever. I went from 3 to 10 Deaver springs without changing the max load, it rides empty very well. Swapped out the stock shocks for 2.5 fox with reservoirs. I run 315 tires and no lift, I can get most anywhere I want, I don't go...

I see those surfing in Baja/ Mexico a lot. Aussies fly over grab one and live out of them for months. They get remote. I hope you are having fun with it.

You are going to have a great time! if you can take you time coming home. I think Slow Baja will be there too, He is a wealth of knowledge and a fun podcast. He's easy to find, old Toyota with SLOW BAJA on the side.

South America runs on propane, filling can be a challenging experience getting adaptors.

I would drive what you own. I drove a Plymouth Reliant all over Baja for years. Dirt roads and rocks were just part of it. You can drive Forest Service roads with your BMW. Second choice would be rent, be aware most rentals have GPS and tracking unit on them. Also I would go with a Ice-chest...

James D. Smith, I see you are from Virgin Islands, I think of rain. Canvas tents need to be stored dry, I have found they will mildew easily if stored wet. They are great otherwise. There is also a fashion side of tents, Oztent, Gezelle, are todays popular items. I used a Springbar that I...

There is a guy out of Idaho that has t youtube chanel that rates all kinds of tires. He looks at mud, show, sand, crawling and road driving. he gives great info. My favorite get me there and home without a lot of drama.

I would go with the bed liner stuff, do whatever the bed liner company tells you to do.

I am a Big Snug top shell fan. they are laid up fiberglass not blown. Years ago I was with a friend that slowed rolled a F350 and The rig spent the night resting on the shell, the Gell coat was perfect when we got it off the rock. I've been very happy with mine on the last two trucks. I would...

Easter week and the week before Easter get pretty crowded with locals. The Sea of Cortez is very popular with parties going all night and lots of loud music. You'll have to work to get away from the parties. I have some ideas, rough and passable roads to some remote beaches. If you want I can...

I just got back yesterday. You might be able to get a Whale trip in. Later March it is late in the season and it seams they are leaving early this year.. I did 3 whale trips and hug on whales on every trip. If you want a trip go to Guerrero Negero, I like Whale Magic, whale magic.com, english...

To claim a site in the west or Baja I leave a couple of things set up. putting a couple chairs folded up where you plan to camp might look like they were forgotten. A couple of chairs setup with a table or a tent set up looks like you are coming back. You want it to looked occupied not stuff...

Welcome to the camp fire! Before you buy a bunch of stuff, go out and camp, drive a few dirt roads. Overlanding for me is doing, not about hanging stuff on my truck. My truck is built for how I use it, not as somebody on youtube says. Yes, it can be very expensive and everything is a...

I have a bunch of super chests (4) and I am slow to replace with a refrigerator. If I was your shoes now it would get a refrigerator and a way to keep it powered.

Welcome Glen! All of overlanding is all a compromise, Broncos are to small for me, you'll be able to to take it places my truck will not go. I can camp with a comfort level you can't just because I carry more, as a example. Start out slow and make sure overlanding is right for you. Look at...

I love it. Just get out there!

When my wife was alive we mostly went together or I would go solo. Traveling in groups is very frustrating , agendas, timing, drama, are mostly more than I want to deal with. Now my travel is 80% solo, my girlfriend is always welcome but camping isn't really her thing.

The KO2's are pretty crapy. I'll be looking for a skinny something here in a couple of years or maybe a General tire. I'll be following this, Cooper makes the Micky Thomson Baja tire and the (maybe) the Dick Cepek tire too. My favorite tire is the one that takes me there and gets me home...

I had the same stove before the Cook Partner that I now use. After a long day of washboard in Baja, I discovered the gas line to the second burner had broken. I crimped it back and had it brazed. CampChef said I voided the warranty. I was day 2 on a 2 week surf trip. I am done with Camp Chef and...

I would look at JetBoil Genesis Basecamp as a one burner, they have excellent flame control. If you choose a Cook Partner you kids will use it for life.
