EXO - Lands End - Bronco Run

[Baja Bronco]

Just got back from the best Bronco Run I’ve very been on! EXO went down the entire Baja peninsula from Mexicali to Cabo. The trip was epic. Baja is beautiful, great scenery, friendly Mexicans and their kids (and many sticker packs were handed out, lol), fantastic weather, not too many flats or mechanical issues. Enjoy the pics!

You should, you’ll have the time of your life, meet great people, make new friends. EXO is having a long Baja Sur trip for Broncos next year, I think 7 or 8 days. My advice is to continually check their site, once a trip goes up, they sell out pretty fast

Why not get a few friends together and do the same trip yourselves instead of paying thousands to go with strangers? These are well established routes you can download GPX files for free and the hotels are at well known tourist friendly places. There is nothing challenging or complex that you'd need a "professional" tour guide to do. I just don't get it.

There’s a lot more to it than you think. The way you think, yeah no problem. What do you do when you break? Do you bring enough parts to basically build a Bronco? They have arms, shocks, drive shafts, etc. What do you do if your Bronco isn’t driveable? Leave it there? They have 2 chase trucks with trailers, and yes Broncos have been on them. Some trails are easily found, some not. The hotels are reserved months before, what happens if there aren’t enough rooms for your group? It might look easy, but it isn’t, and I’ve been to Baja at least 50 times. I’m glad all I have to do is drive.

Was spare fuel needed by anyone at any point?

No not really, but the Braptors are thirsty, lol. A lot of us (me included) have the RotoPax cans. And each days run has been pre run at one time or another by EXO,
so they know the Broncos can make it. The worst day, my 50 mile to empty light came on, but we were already back on pavement, and in 2wd. Got to the gas station with about 45 miles.

Amazing pictures! Running with EXO in September, seeing reviews like this make me even more excited.

I have literally been waiting for the right trip date to pop. I work in Education so I have to pick my shots carefully. I gotta ask is there an ideal setup for your rig suggestions for quality of life mods or additional things to consider etc… I know their site has a fairly extensive yet basic needs list. Lastly what comms and navigation system is most ideal and user friendly for this type of trip? Thanks!

A stock SAS Bronco can do any run, and there have been plenty. The perfect start up trip for you might be their Baja Siesta run in April. They plan it around the kids being off (there was something like 25 kids on the run last month), easy trails, slower speeds, any vehicle. There were even some Toyotas. It’s more of a fun getaway for parents. We don’t have kids, but we like going to Baja whenever we can.

You really need 2 essential things. A 50w radio (not a hand held one), I recommend PCI Kenwood Race Radio, and a GPS setup. There are 3 I would recommend, Lowrance, Garmin, or GAIA (which might be the easiest because you use your phone.)

Do you need off road lights, no but they come in useful. Chase lights are definitely something to have due to the dust, but once again, not “you have to have them” type of thing. Other stuff kind of common sense stuff, basic tools, air filter, cooler for water, sodas, juices, etc. snacks.

If you break something they have the parts and mechanics to fix it, either on the trail, or at the hotel. Of course you have to pay for the parts (like a tie rod), or getting a tire patched in town. If you have any other questions let me know. I’m not affiliated with them, but I consider them friends, and they run great trips, and get everyone involved. They have a media crew that snaps pics and takes videos. It’s an off road vacation.
