We Race In The Greatest Off Road Race, Baja 1000!

[@Libra-Justice929]

The border patrol agent called his cop buddies and split the cash! You are easy pickings 😂😂😂

[@karenmcintyre-f1r]

@Libra-Justice929 Border Patrol are U.S. Federal Agents. In Mexico they have just straight Policia. Yes T.J. is very crupt , which makes Tecate to Ensenada a safer trip .

[@darren1922]

Yup. You got taken for the usual BS money making scheme. It happens all over the world to foreigners.

[@cjstrasser]

Even when we were driving our truck camper into Canada, I made sure that EVERYTHING was registered and insured. Jefe, you are crazy brave to go there like that. I salute you!!

[@steveknight7830]

Not brave...stupid.

[@steveknight7830]

Not brave...stupid.

[@jimkennedy9242]

Great video on your unbelievable and perilous journey to Mexico. I live in San Diego and have been to Mexico countless times. This Mexican ticket bs is not surprising but is so completely infuriating. That cash was divied up and went straight into greedy, corrupt pockets. Good on you for your endurance and fortitude! Great channel, Jefe. 💙

[@tonybarraza]

HELL YEAH!!! Love racing and chasing in Baja!!! Been doing it for 30 years!! Been pitting and chasing on Trophy Truck teams most of my career! Can't get enough and it never gets old!! I was working a main pit at RM 470 for this one! Sorry I missed you! Would have been great to see you guys and offer any advice or support along the way! It's always an adventure and never boring! And the tacos are EPIC!!! LOL! Great episode Jefe! Keep 'em coming buddy!

[@jenniferrueda312]

Santana is my brother, thank you for looking out for him.

[@JefesAdventures]

No problem. He's a good dude and it was fun hanging out with him.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I could never do that half-baked race journey. I honestly admire people who can jump in with both feet without knowing where the bottom is. It looks like it could be fun at times but not being prepared would drive me crazy. I plan, and over plan, and plan again, and then check my plan.

[@harryinhuahin1272]

Wow...! What a crazy event. What a great video. Kudos to all. Will hope to see again, next year.

[@everettdegrasse8478]

Baja 1000, what an epic race. I wouldn't have enough patience to deal with all the legal issues, you must have been motivated. Great adventure!

[@omarortiz738]

That’s why I haven’t gone to Mexico in 20 years. Also you could’ve have haggled on that $350.

[@2Duggy]

A KZbin travel video not completely full of sugar plums and pixie dust? 😂😂😂 ❤reality tv! ❤

[@yellads]

That's why I like this family, they are real.

[@stevebonczyk3795]

Jeffe this was a great video. Mixing it up really makes your channel interesting and enjoyable to watch.

[@michaeldavis9287]

Hahaha, you should have offered to settle on the road. Could have talked officer down to $20 😂😂😂

[@bounce-house]

💯

[@Tunaslayer1]

You need to tell the officer he looks hungry and offer $20, $40.....until he lets you move on...

[@debbiedogood8125]

Now that’s what I would call an Adventure!!!! Drove with my ex in ‘89 to Ensenada and over to San Felipe and back to US. It was crazy trip then, but don’t think I would attempt it now.

[@fritzmueller1337]

Wow, Jefe, what an Adventure. You are making awesome content. Hunting, Shooting, Racing, what a blast. Love from Germany.

[@91362moose]

So good. I miss Baja alot. Started on the film crew for Dust 2 Glory, raced the 1000 and the 500. Definitely want to go back!

[@matthewandress1229]

That was a great film!

[@f0r3v3r_]

You are an amazing brother! Thank you taking on this adventure! Baja lives in my dreams!

[@highspeedmom2012]

Super fun to follow your Adventure!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

Nice to see it on camera but no thanks in person...Super nice of you guys going to help

[@DavidMartinez-cq3hx]

Wow Jefe that was a lot of fun to watch! At the end of the video it looked like you were about to fall asleep behind the wheel haha, i hope that everyone made it back to Utah safely.

[@JefesAdventures]

It was a lot of fun. Everyone made it home safe. Thanks.

[@MichaelDavis-tl9nz]

Way to go Jeffe !! Next time you know to give yourself 2 extra days earlier and have insurance before you get close to the border. Lol 😅😅😅

[@upallnyte2000]

Omg! What a crazy adventure and expensive too. You will definitely be helping out Matt learning from your experience.

[@justlooking2222]

Great story telling! Great videoing (is that a word) and editing! So, if you didn't have a license plate in Mexico, I assume you don't have a license plate in the US. I think that's something you should work on LOL

[@JefesAdventures]

In Utah you do not need a license plate for a trailer that small. But don't worry I'm going to get a license plate put on it regardless.

[@angelaknisely-marpole7679]

Wow. I was in the Western Desert in Egypt when the Paris-Dakkar race was held near Kharga. We were coming back from a camping survey trip when we were overtaken by a lorry in the race! Scarey!

[@NorrisAnderson-hn4xn]

That trip to Baja looked like it was an interesting experience, Jefe.

[@craig2879]

Not even out of Tijuana and spent 490 dollars ouch!

[@loofy26]

+ gas + hotel. Insane, im glad i dont travel.

[@davidflorcruz2908]

Thanks for sharing another adventure Jefe!👍

[@abqcrutch]

That was awesome! At least you know what to expect next time.

[@petewilson2314]

Great adventure, glad I was able to come along with you. Riding that race looks like it would be miserable

[@theothered2549]

That was a great adventure, thanks for bringing us along.

[@stevefetterman9857]

That was a whirlwind trip of an adventure!! Nice shot of the rainbow in the background 11:28. Brush up on your Spanish when you go back for Uncle Matt and take lots and lots of cash.

[@lint2023]

Looks like lots of fun. But, the troubles you had don't make me want to go into Mexico even though I have been within driving distance for a decade.

[@cmorin543]

Jeff, sorry to see you ran into see much trouble going into Mexico. That ticket was definitely a bit of extortion. Seeing they actually gave you a receipt, I would recommend contacting the US Embassey and filing a report. Having you follow them to the local station and demanding a cash payment is definitely not the normal way this would be handled. Good to see you kept your spirits up about it the whole time. Looking forward to future adventures!

[@itspeeblo]

Next time as soon as they say follow me to the station, pull out a $50 and tell him you're in a hurry to leave.

[@karenmcintyre-f1r]

Jefe, Next time go through my neck of the woods in Tecate. MX. All the big stores without all the traffic. Nice back roads to Ensenada . Don't know what the issue they had with your trailer, we never had any issues with our crews . Next time take the back way. The I8 to Campo Ca to Tecate to Ensenada.

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always great content very entertaining good job

[@johnnychun59]

Did you pass any military checkpoints on the highway? Easy way to get past those is to carry stickers. Everyone down there loves stickers. I used to work the BFG Pits. A lot of fun, but loong hours. But nowadays, I wouldn't go to Mexico, especially in a nicer vehicle. Really surprised tgat your trailer was still there. 😆

[@JefesAdventures]

I found out that everybody loves stickers after I already got there. I wish I would have known prior to. Yes I passed military checkpoints. They just led us straight through.

[@lint2023]

stickers?

[@johnnychun59]

@@lint2023 Yeah, just regular vinyl stickers, like you'd find on the side of an offroad truck. Kids will run up to your vehicle yelling, "Steeker, steeker!" And the soldiers at the military checkpoints are basically kids...with automatic weapons. Even the cops like stickers.

[@SweetestPromise]

WooHoo!!! What an adventure brother. You blow my mind 😊

[@skyepilotte11]

Great trip Jefe... I'm from a border city in Texas and corruption is a way of life in Mexico ever since I was a kid. It's worse if you drive a newer vehicle and not versed in the language. Glad you made it back across.

[@tubeu28]

That's an adventure alright, what a great effort Jeffe!

[@reptopo22]

J JEFE you are really brave to come to mexico just like that 😂😂, the best way it's teaming with a local first , someone that can tell you how it works, specially with the police 🤦‍♂️ Mexico is a beautiful country , with really nice people , hopefully you visit mexico again , and get a chance to enjoy our culture and nice places we have. Saludos Jefe 😀

[@ICUall666]

Ok calm down it’s not as bad as the media makes it out to be 😂

[@SpaceForce2019]

I was worried about your trailer, glad it was fine. Grew up in San Diego, been over the border a lot. Had a couple cop interactions but then we paid him directly right there on the street.

[@Hyporecit]

That was great to watch! Next time it may be worth leveraging one of your greatest assets: You have fans everywhere! Having a local by your side would have been pretty helpful and could've avoided issues altogether (like telling you about the need of a plate on your trailer, which is indeed considered a severe violation of trasit rules). I'm glad you had a fun and an overall positive experience, next time let us (your fans in Baja) know that you'll be here so we can look for a way to help!

[@JefesAdventures]

I thought about that. I think next time that's what I'll do

[@zacguy6109]

thats a shakedown bro lol even teh cops steal your money

[@SIQMO]

okay, but why doesn't your trailer have a license plate? :P

[@007twm]

Great video Jefe. Thanks for sharing.

[@LastChanceLiving]

Sounds like a crazy adventure...but fun! Glad y'all were safe : )

[@angelzenteno1747]

Hey jefe I'm sorry you had that awful experience while visiting our country Mexico and our state Baja California, I sincerely hope that you'll come back and visit un again and if you let me I will like to be your guide while you're down here

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

"My namesake might be jefe, but I am just another gringo getting extorted for dollars in Baja" (Great content!)

[@takehow]

Super interesting, chaos! 😂😂

[@silvermineband2719]

I lived in San Diego my entire life up until 2022. I live in AZ now. I will never go into Mexico again. Haven’t been in more than 20 years.

[@ICUall666]

No one cares nor will miss you

[@hector1731]

Good. Stay out of

[@diabeticsrule1763]

My friend convinced me to go into Mexico one day in 2022 when we were visiting our other friend in Organ Pipe National Monument in AZ (its about 7 miles from the border). Luckily it went pretty well but we did get searched going into Mexico, which I always joke seems like the opposite of what should happen. My friend dropped her phone right as we approached the cameras at the border and we think that sent an alert to check us. I got super nervous because as the Mexican officer was searching the truck, I remembered I have a pocket knife in my center console and I had read not to take any weapons. Luckily, he didnt care about the knife and we had no other problems while there. We were very careful not to speed, which was funny because I was the slowest car on the road and everyone was passing me but I was going the speed limit.

[@ole-bboy5875]

Have fun. It will be a blast. Hope you brought cash.

[@barfy-man3628]

“That sandwich was probably a mistake.” 😂

[@trappedinkalifornee]

Haha….the cartels, the police, the military, the politicians….they are all the same down there, glad you made it back.😀

[@DRTLYFE]

What a great man you both are God send for the crew thank you for helping God help others your the men guys great work

[@JGEAGLE]

Sorry to tell you Jefe, but you got got. That’s Mexico for you, should have haggled them down to $60😢

[@marcialynn3469]

Hola from san Felipe. I was on the couch watching you tube. Missed the race

[@marcialynn3469]

that insurance is good for a year

[@marcialynn3469]

When you enter, you need to stop at the border, go inside and get a free FMM tourist visa, or you can be detained by the national guard

[@johnaeschlimann2612]

Always wanted to go to Mexico, not anymore. 😂

[@JefesAdventures]

I think it was still worth going. I just did a little bit different next time.

[@hectornegrete1620]

@@JefesAdventures you can travel to Baja with no problems at all if you ride with no tinted windows, Current tags, must have the front and back plates, if pulling a toy holler or trailer must be under your name as the truck your pulling with and plates as well. Other than that no problems

[@WCTarheel]

If you had left that trailer in Portland, OR, it would have been long gone. That's got to be the trailer theft capital of the world.

[@morganweast4228]

I'm 75 years old and live about 20 minutes from the border, never lost anything there so I never had to go look for it. Hint next time you go there go in a convoy,hopefully with someone who can speak Spanish.

[@robertr4193]

Glade everyone was safe even if a little beaten up from the trail. Also glad your trailer was still where you left it. Stay safe and healthy and get some rest.

[@shcaskey]

Yea! You got chingale’d. 😁. Look it up🤣

[@master_alienhead]

There is so much. "Oh hell no!" In this video to prevent me from ever wanting to go to Mexico.

[@jimkennedy9242]

See my comment above regarding Mexico. I will say this, a very pleasant and interesting and safe, cultural Mexican trip is to fly to Puerto Vallarta. It is a totally cool and interesting and cultural experience and completely off the drug traffic trail. It is a mellow little town. With super friendly people.

[@RobertPirtle-q9g]

That was a costly trip

[@shcaskey]

That was worth a subscribe. 😁

[@alexcooper927]

Good video sorry cost so much money but looks like you had a good time anyways even though no sleep thanks for sharing

[@artm6723]

Five minutes into the video and you're already out $500!!! Nope, I'm not going to Mexico any time soon. No way!

[@jeffjjw1521]

Thank you for this video. You have cemented my attitude that I will never go to Mexico besides, not understanding language you gotta watch out for bad guys and cops. No view is worth it❗️

[@phillipswain4942]

Great adventure for a first-time trip to Mexico

[@MongoFlowofConciousness]

Note to self, do not take my snowmobile trailer into Mexico.

[@akalksander9184]

O to $300 shakedown in 60 seconds, Amazing.

[@PietjePuk681]

Not being prepared makes it a very expensive trip for you.

[@mainebumpkin1795]

Recently saw a video made by an overlander from Europe who ventured into Mexico only to turn back after being robbed by POLICE 3 times in 24 hours.

[@richardstephens9647]

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR VEHICLES before leaving the US for plates and paperwork and have your ducks in a row and you'll have a much easier and less expensive trip. The Food looked AWESOME!

[@jeffking6672]

Since he lives in Utah, license plates are used on single axle trailers with an unladen weight of under 750lbs which I've found causes issues sometimes when you travel to different states, and now I can see different countries.

[@michaelenglund]

Jefe surpriced and invited himself to an adventure 😎😃

[@johnhsedgwick]

[@PavementOptional]

now you know why they say "I Survived Baja". It can fun though.

[@greasemonkey4god]

Why isn’t there a plate on your trailer?

[@mattdebroux9480]

Not every state requires trailers to be registered/licensed. He probably never thought twice about it, especially since it was a last minute trip.

[@fscottgray9784]

Great example of why I will never go to Mexico again.

Just for future reference, "fines" in Mexico are largely arbitrary and negotiable... "Ciento aqui?" probably makes it a $100 cash "ticket" on the spot with no trip to the station.
