Hi all. My name is Matt.
I am traveling from California to Panama with my wife and our old Labrador. We are traveling in a 1995 Toyota T100 with a self-built camper.
If you want to know more about the rig, check out my build thread http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...t-From-bought-to-built-in-a-month-(hopefully) I know its not the most thorough build thread so feel free to ask questions.
We had two years of budget for the trip, but I'm a bit late in starting this thread. We actually just crossed from Mexico to Belize, so we have 18 months left on the road. We are surfers, so we drove down the Baja peninsusla and ferried across to Mazatlan. Then drove the Pacific coast all the way down to Salina Cruz during the summer. We then headed back north threw the mountains and Oaxaca city for Dia de los Muertos. Then east across Chiapas and a loop around the Yucatan.
The red line is our rout so far.
Camped at Scorpion Bay, Central Baja
We got some new tires after a blowout south of Puerto Vallarta. They are 31x10.5 BFG AT Ko2
We were warned about Michoacan as being a dangerous area, but it ended up being one of our favorites.
Roadside attraction in Oaxaca
Camping, Hiking, and Exploring the mountains of central Mexico was a lot of fun and surprisingly cold.
