Beautiful spot btw.  My wife is ok with a bit of speed but not so much on those type roads even though a bit of speed smooths out the ride (she still doesnt get it) Second morning of camp the ice was getting a bit low so used as excuse to get back out and have a play on the way.  Dropped it back into baja mode and "Holy Crap"!!!!  i was pushing 80-90 mph and couldnt feel any of the washboard tooth rattle.  Truck felt it was gliding even on the curves and whoops.  managed to get airborn, but only just...  completely different animal in baja..  my buddy said they should have called it beast mode instead.  tried it again with my wife in the truck on the way out of camp the next day..  let me just say she wasnt nearly as impressed as i was, mainly because she couldnt see with her eyes closed and white-knuckling the oh-crap bar.once again thanks for the informative post.....</blockquote>
