I have not been to TJ in a couple of years, maybe three,
But had no problem finding everything I wanted and at decent prices,
In the past prior to 9/11 would just drive down, get drunk, buy gear and drive home,
Now the border is a hassle and it takes hours to come back,
All the old trick are still true, if you look like Ronnie Coleman, you will get checked out, if you go with a chick and some kids much safer.
I always have been down there with a bunch of gear heads that simply wanted to buy gear, get drunk and get laid. Do other adult things, like buy 50 cherry bombs.
9/11 screwed the whole thing up.
