Camino del Diablo w/ San Diego LR Club

[javelinadave]

Got to take my Tacoma out for its inaugural off-road trip with @pmatusov and the awesome San Diego LR Club. We met up just east of Yuma and spent three days, two nights seeing the sights and having a great time. Here are a few of their club members vehicles:

My new rig which did amazing

Awesome camping site

Grave site we found on BLM land

Sunrise on day 3

Amazing breakfast burrito at Sophia's Mexican Kitchen in Gila Bend. I was craving a breakfast burrito all trip but forgot tortillas.

It was awesome - good trip, good crew, and it is always great just to be in the desert!
I'll post some photos later, too.

To remind ourselves why we love desert.

Man, I could travel vicariously through your pictures all day. Thanks for posting those. My place on the east coast is awesome with all its green and forests, but there's something otherworldly in the southwest.

Yessir. I bought it with 337k, though.

Very impressive! Gives me hope with 128k on mine.

Well... Neither the engine, nor the transmission or transfer case are original. In this respect, I like my D1 with 290kmi more.

I’m good with that one as well! My ‘96 D1 has 101kmi with original engine/drive train.
