Hi everyone,
This is post #4 of a 4 posts serie covering my 4x4 crossings in La Rioja (Argentina) during 2025 April.
On the final day we went for an easy drive at the Quebrada de los Pozuelos (Pozuelos Ravine) crossing the river a lot of times, had en EPIC roasted goat for lunch between the...
Hi everyone,
This is post #3 of a 4 posts serie covering my 4x4 crossings in La Rioja (Argentina) during 2025 April.
Now we head towards the Vinchina Dunes, a trail that is not very demanding, although some techniques are required due to the lack of momentum when driving on several sections of...
Hi everyone,
This is post #2 of a 4 posts series covering my 4x4 crossings in La Rioja (Argentina) during 2025 April.
The Quebrada del Yeso (Gypsum Ravine in English) in La Rioja, Argentina, is a top off-road destination here.
It's a very technical trail with various obstacles of varying...
Yes, the oxygen tank was very useful!! I didn't notice any loss of power in the BS. Just ground clearance was the main issue as we all know... Other than that it was a great adventure!
Thanks!
Sí, al llegar al crater me marcaba medio tanque pero en la vuelta gastó mucho menos combustible. Es un tema que me preocupó pero el guía me había anticipado que no habría problemas.
Hi everyone,

The "Crater Corona del Inca" (Inca Crown Crater) is located at 5,500 meters (18,000 ft) above sea level in the Andes Mountains, making it the highest altitude accessible by...
Hi Robert!
Thank you for sharing my video! I´ve posted it here a while ago...
Fell free to sneak into my youtube channel and take a look of other videos of a workshop in the sand dunes and some trips through Argentina with the BS!
Recién veo esto. Ya somos varios en el foro de por acá! A la mía le ya le hice 30000 Km en un año y medio! A disfrutarla!
I just have seen this. There are several of us from here in the forum! I've made 30000 km with mine in a year and a half. Enjoy!
Exactly, that's requested by law here. Every car must have the extinguisher into the cockpit. Most of cars have a holder in that position, others on a side near the passenger legs.
Hi Palom0,
I´m from Argentina too and I can confirm that´s the place to lock the extinguisher. I have bought both the holder and the extinguisher and attached to that piece of metal.
I think its mandatory here to have the extinguisher inside the vehicle...

Well... it took a while but here it is a Youtube video of the BS at the Andes, La Rioja province, Argentina!
Feel free to subscribe to my channel for more videos tripping around Argentina!
I have made the playlist "Córdoba - La Rioja - San Juan - San Luis (Marzo/Abril 2022)" with more videos...
Hi Luis,
this was not sponsored by Ford. There is near to zero off-road events sponsored by Ford Argentina and when they do its limited to a dozen participants or so!!!
Jeep does have an offroad campus where every buyer of a SUV can have some free training but Ford let us on our own... sad...
And, by the way, there is a moment in the video when the guide tells me "don´t worry, you have plenty of power to achieve this!!" and the second after the truck start slipping, he laughs "but you don't have enough tires!!". I had to put reverse and try another exit...
Hi,
I took part of an off-road driving clinic at Rey Park (at Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina). It was a whole day of enjoyment and a great learning experience. I can confirm that the BS Wildtrack (a.k.a Badlands) is a really wild beast and very capable. My only concern is with clearance!! Just...
Hi Douglas!
Maybe you already know this brazilian guy, but you can get some ideas from him:
