These pictures are taken a in the Dunes close to San Luis Rio Colorado which is about an hour from Calexico/Mexicali. You can drive all the way from there to the Golf Coast, it's a huge area, I almost felt like I was in the Paris Dakar rally

awsome, been thinking about a trip to the baja beach. i really want to do some scuba diving there. also have heard it is a cool drive. tring to get all the bugs worked outta the truck so it will be travel worthy down there

For a Blazer I would recommned minimum a 4"lift, rear locker and 33" tires to feel comfortable. Also, don't go alone, if you get stuck or break down it could be a while before somebody comes by.
It's a cool place, I recommend it.

Cool pics man!. I gotta ask, how do you keep that heavy blazer afloat in all that sand?

 

[bajaviking]

Well as you can tell from the pictures it's actually not that heavy anymore since I took off the top, doors, tailgate, bumpers, interior is stripped and I have the super lightweight high dollar aluminum drivetrain(350 tranny with NP208)

Besides that I run only about 6 psi in my tires, I have 35/1250 BFG's mounted on narrow stock steel wheels and so far I have not had any trouble with loosing a bead, I just try to not turn too hard at high speed.

By the way,I sold the Blazer that is described in my signature if you wonder why it doesn't match what I just wrote above.
