• Date: [Update with official date]
• Location: San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico

• Starting Line: Typically near the Malecón in San Felipe

What Makes the San Felipe 250 Unique?
Unlike longer races like the Baja 500 or Baja 1000, the San Felipe 250 is a sprint compared to an endurance race. However, don’t let the shorter distance fool you—this course is one of the roughest in Baja, known for:
Endless whoops – Deep sand and rough terrain test both suspension and endurance.
Tight washes and technical sections – Drivers need skill, not just speed.
High-speed desert stretches – Where top-tier trophy trucks hit insane speeds.
It’s a race where strategy, navigation, and durability matter as much as horsepower.

The Ultimate Baja Beater:
My 1994 Toyota “Shitbox Edition”
If you’ve spent any time exploring Baja, you know that not every rig needs to be shiny and new. In fact, sometimes, the best adventure vehicles are the ones that have been beaten, battered, and proven tough over time. Enter my 1994 Toyota “Shitbox Edition”—a truck that refuses to quit, no matter how many Baja miles I throw at it.
Why This ‘94 Toyota is the Perfect Baja Rig
When it comes to off-roading in Baja, reliability beats luxury every time. My truck might not win any beauty contests, but it has conquered everything from deep sand to rocky trails without hesitation. Some highlights of this Baja-ready Toyota:
• Simple & Reliable: No fancy electronics, just pure mechanical dependability.
• Built for Abuse: Dents, scratches, and rust? Just badges of honor.
• Goes Anywhere: From desert dunes to coastal trails, this truck has done it all.
Watch the Shitbox in Action
Instead of just telling you about it, let me show you. Check out this video of my ‘94 Toyota Shitbox Edition
Old Trucks Still Rule in Baja,
A brand-new overland build is great, but there’s something special about a truck that’s been through hell and keeps going. Whether you’re planning your own Baja adventure or just appreciate a good off-road story, I hope this video gives you a glimpse of what’s possible—even with a so-called “shitbox.”

The Winter Warm Up was a trip to remember! From challenging off-road trails to beachside tacos and nights under the Baja stars, this four-day adventure was the perfect way to shake off the winter blues.
With an awesome group of off-roaders, we tackled Baja’s iconic trails, explored San Felipe’s coastline, and ended the trip with an unforgettable stay at Baja Oasis. Here’s a look back at the highlights!
Day 1:
Crossing into Baja & Hitting the Trails
We kicked off the adventure in Tecate, where everyone gathered early to cross the border and air down for the first stretch of dirt. The Compadre Trail was in great shape, making for a smooth but scenic ride through Baja’s high desert.
By midday, we rolled into Valle de Trinidad for some legendary tacos—because no Baja trip is complete without incredible food! After refueling (both our rigs and ourselves), we hit the pavement for a short stretch before arriving in San Felipe, where the Sea of Cortez greeted us with stunning views.
That night, we settled in at Kiki’s Beach Camp, grabbed dinner at La Vaquita, and enjoyed a few drinks while swapping stories about the day’s ride.
Day 2:
Off-Roading, Beach Runs & San Felipe Vibes
We started the morning at Rosita’s, a must-stop spot for breakfast in San Felipe. Then, it was time to hit the dirt! We ran sections of the San Felipe 250 race course, winding through washes, rocky terrain, and fast desert tracks.
Lunch at the Chenowth Legacy Lodge was a highlight, with some great history about off-road racing in Baja. Afterward, we made our way back to San Felipe via a beach run, driving along the coastline with ocean views stretching for miles.
The evening was all about good food and good company. We had dinner at Tacos El General before heading to the Malecon for some bar hopping. San Felipe never disappoints when it comes to nightlife!
Day 3:
Dry Lake Beds, Baja 1000 Trails & Baja Oasis
Leaving San Felipe, we crossed a dry lake bed, then jumped onto sections of the famous Baja 1000 route. The mix of fast trails and technical terrain made for an exciting ride as we worked our way west.
By late afternoon, we arrived at Baja Oasis, Justin Strong’s incredible off-road retreat along the Rio Hardy. This place is a hidden gem—lush palm trees, a beautiful river, and the perfect spot to unwind after a long day on the trails.
Dinner was a family-style meal, and the night ended around the fire pit, sharing laughs and stories under the stars.
Day 4:
Heading Home
After a relaxing morning and a hearty breakfast, we aired up and started the journey back to Tecate. The border crossing went smoothly, and just like that, Winter Warm Up was in the books!
Final Thoughts:
This trip was all about great trails, great people, and the best of Baja. Whether it was ripping across dry lake beds, cruising the beach, or just enjoying a cold drink after a long day on the trails, the Winter Warm Up delivered everything we love about Baja adventures.

Coast to Coast: The Ultimate Off-Road Challenge in Baja
Some trips are for sightseeing. Coast to Coast is not one of them.
This is Baja at its rawest—brutal terrain, endless miles, and a route that will test your machine and your mindset. It’s not just an off-road trip; it’s an endurance challenge. If you’re not prepared, Baja will chew you up and spit you out.
Is Your Rig Ready? Are You?
Coast to Coast isn’t for beginners. This is for the well-prepared, the ones who put in the work before they hit the trail. Your vehicle needs to be dialed. Your recovery gear needs to be on point. And you need to be ready for long days, unpredictable conditions, and the kind of adventure you don’t find on a map.
Only a few will take on this challenge each year. Will you be one of them?
