Hey guys, I have posted this thread on the Central and South America expedition planning thread, but thought it might be useful to have some advice from those already en route. I would like to know where you stop on the road for sleeping, camping, or simply parking for a few days if one wants...

Got cheap yellow plastic ones from WalMart, far from $50 each! Perhaps I can re-use them for water storage if they're no good...

Hi Kurt. We have a Landcruiser Colorado 97, temporarily imported from the UK. Would be fab if you're right and not too expensive hopefully! Txs

Wow! Amazing work! Congrats to all. I was wondering how helpful these storage solutions are? Do they add a lot of weight? Don't they actually take up some space / leave some blind spots or empty spaces? I am in the process of organising my Toyota Landcruiser and would like to be convinced...

Got two yellow plastic diesel cans but I understand they shouldn't be kept inside the car for risk of overheating... so I may be stupid asking this question, but how do you do to keep extra diesel with you when necessary? Txs

Hi. What sort of water system/storage solutions have you guys found? My rooftop tent (Magg's) takes most of the space on the top of the Toyota Landcruiser. I would have liked to install a jerrycan (what type of holder?) for our washing water there (heating naturally) and another jerrycan for...

More info please Hi there, Is it still for sale? What are the details and do you have any pictures? We have a Landcruiser (roof bars?) and will only be able to pick it up in the summer as will not be in the USA before then. Let us know how that might suit. Thanks

Sorry me too for the multiposts! Also just read page 4, u found the wiki before me! ;) Thanks Esh and all others for commenting and advising. Invaluable help. This Rowland's guy's mad, but how inspiring! Would be cheaper than a roofrack + rooftent too I guess. Need to put some friends and...

Cheers! :smiley_drive:

Prado/Colorado Hi guys, That's the info I found (wikipedia!)... you were right... of course! Our cylinder capacity is 2982 CC, so that makes it a GX-TD with a 3L engine: 1KZ-TE! I've found quite a few for sale in Quebec already so should be alright for parts hopefully. Wikipedia says: Toyota...

Salut eleblanc! Oui, we will ship it to Canada. Need to see which port and from where, UK or France as both are easy for us, having family there. Prices are not that bad actually so worth it. Where r u in Mtl? Do u have some kitting up stuff?

Pics of the LC97 Hey guys, The Lc got home safely last night. Husband flew at 150km on the highway on its way home (I'm a she, by the way!) Here are the pics (attached). PS Not too sure I understand the 1KZ-TE? Looking already at roof racks and rooftop tents, although the back is so huge...

Got it! A land... ...cruiser! Sorry I haven't been in touch. Been frantically looking and doing my research taking into account your advice and our budget! Waiting to drive it down tonight before sending the pics. It is a Toyota LandCruiser Colorado GX Turbo Diesel Manual, 3liter engine 1997...

Carnet de passage Well, first we will be doing the Americas, but were supposed to do the whole RTW so we will see what to do when we get to Ushuaia! We might sell the vehicle or ship it to Asia if we continue. On the point of selling your vehicle or returning with it, I understand we need to...

Will be leaving Montreal, Qc in April-May. We have some stops to do we can't get away from to visit family on the way (New York, California - don't know how, and Texas). The rest is an adventure! Thanks to everybody for their advice; it is really helpful as all I get from here is to go for...

Hi all, Our project was to bring us around the world, but due to finances, we have to cut it short to the Americas... still a great itinerary! We do not know whether we should buy our vehicle in the UK or in Canada (shipping is not so expensive). We will be starting from Canada in April 09...
