For those who are unaware this event is slated to start January 2019, it is a 3000mile trip over 10 days, leaving Los Angeles heading down the east side of Baja to Cabo then up the west side ending in LA. There are two classes, touring and race, it is not a timed event it is a points event the only difference between the class is the race class has 9 special legs again not timed. this all about navigation through Baja, the event is held every 2 years and coordinated by the same group as the Budapest to Bamako africa 10k rally
also this a charity fund raising event for the children of baja.
I will be finishing the Brute upgrades about mid february and it then start numerous shakedowns to work out and durability issues. Essentially the only item left from the rubicon is the transfer case, it is getting a new cummins engine, transmission, differentials, steering and suspension the items are all upgraded and new. the upgrades are tailored around endurance and comfort while being self reliant
I will post up the truck in a separate short build segment.
OK so what i am wondering is the anyone interested in being a co-driver? If so I would like to hear from you,
gender type is not a requirement, Having good travel planning skills, navigation skills, baja travel experience, Spanish language are all pluses, must be able to handle austere travel for 10 days ( no hotels minimum baths etc), and have good mobility for recovery. complimentary skills are important along with a good personality. No interest in "know it alls" Cost will be half the entry about $700 plus food portion and incidentals.
Cheers
Pete
