I am getting ready to go party in Rosarito for Spring Break next week and i would like you guys to help me out. I will be driving from norcal to Rosarito (approx. 8hrs). There will be 4 people in my car including myself. Should I leave on my 20inch rims?
Heres what I compiled so far for my list:
1. Topped off all fluids (coolant, brake fluid, motor oil, transmission fluid)
2. Check tire pressure
3. Wax car..
Also if you have been to the city, any tips would be helpful since this will be my first time crossing the border and going to a diff. country... Thanks...

saelee39, i just got back from a quick trip to rosarito 
papas was cracking, it will most likely be even better next week. one thing, do not take drugs, weapons or have open bottles. there is a military check point right by playas, that's right before the toll road.
sorry pic is so bad, camara phones suck.

Will they check you when were going in or coming back from the border? Im trying to get blown there and do they check your car pretty good, do they use drug dogs?

they had 3 driffrent MPs check the car pretty good going in. they ask me some questions and let me know that the knife i had was ilegal, but they just ask me to put it in my trunk. they were pretty cool, they said if a cop would have found the knife he would have made a big deal about it, so that was pretty cool on them. they mostly are looking for drugs and real weapons, not the knife i use for cutting boxes open at work. they did not search us, so if must have a little some some then i would keep it or hide it realy well. you know the good hiding spots on the GSs, right?
You should PM The Fonz with those questions. Just my opinion.

What about the trap door at the bottom in the center arms rest, not real big but you wouldnt know it was there. Look at this video at 9m 19 sec to see the spot I am talking about

Make sure your spare tools are all there and legit. Have clean oil in both engine and tranny. If battery dies you can always pick one up along the way. Air pressure in tires. Check for major oil leaks that might ruin the alternator. The drive there is about 9-10 hours. Make sure your cooling system is legit because you will be idling for long periods of time once you get to the border crossing. Do not wonder off alone or with just one friend (day or night). YOU WILL NEED A PASSPORT. Once you're into Mexico, it would be a good idea to get insurance. Believe me, it's worth it.
