The truck is looking good. I hear you on not wanting to be too tall and wanting room to stand up at the same time. I am working on plans for my next build. I want to do a flatbed and build a camper with a hard-sided popup and insulation. Our simple rig gets the job done, but living in it for...

Yeah Redthies I agree with you, but I also alow that there are some crummy people out there (not just Mexico, everywhere) and we were lucky not to meet any of them during our trip. Thanks for the suggestion chris325i. I will look into Clarissa falls and maybe we'll run into you down the road...

We are planning on entering Guatemala this weekend. We will be going to Tical and have a basic plan of heading south west across the country before making our way back up the pacific coast for some SURF! We are planning on doing some Spanish lessons around lake Atitlan and are considering some...

Thanks for the suggestions RPM&O. It sounds like you had an awesome time in Belize. I'm afraid we have already annihilated our budget, so no more tours for us, and every time we call the post office they give us a later date for our package eta. Standard. Not to complain though. We are hanging...

Thanks onemanarmy. I couldn't agree more. gmtech I have shaped 1 surfboard and done a lot of ding repair, but my large scale experience comes from boat repairs. I'm a captain and have done some time in boat yards. I didn't design the cab over to be strong enough to sleep on(though you...

So far Belize has been an interesting experience. It wasn't until we got here that we realized how comfortable we had become in Mexico. For the first five days I was converting prices into Pesos.:Wow1: The considerably higher cost of EVERYTHING makes it tough for the budget conscious traveler to...

Thanks Jaunt. Back at ya. The_Driver, I thought of something else regarding your cash question. Look into a Charles Shwab high interest checking account. It's basically a normal checking account that you can manage online, but it's great for long term traveling because they reimburse ATM fees...

Sounds like a fun trip. 1. I already owned my boards, so I brought them with me. I would recommend buying in the USA though. Easy, cheaper, more options 2. If your talking boards, I didn't rent. If your talking rooms/camping, you gotta get the iOverlander app. It's a game changer 3. I...

Merry Christmas all. We are spending it on Caye Caulker, Belize going snorkeling. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Cool! Glad you found the spot in El Chico. We weren't sure if the directions were good enough. Pico de Orizaba was cool too if you like hiking. A bit of a drive, but not super far from mexico city. Have fun!

The Cenotes on the Yucatan were pretty cool and the beaches are beautiful. Ok. That's all the vacation pictures i'm going to try to force you to look at for now. A few more useful thoughts for anyone else considering the trip: -We had no safety issues, nothing stolen, and payed no bribes...

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...

I had a '89 Montero for a few years that was pretty capable as a stock vehicle and never had any major mechanical issues. I sold it at close to 200000 miles. You may also want to consider Suzuki Grand Vitaras. I've never owned one, but I've heard good things as far as budget vehicles with god...

Wife and I just finished six months in Mexico. We are now in Belize. We did the Baja peninsula and the Pacific coast down to Salina Cruz and didn't run into any overlanders until we stayed in Zipolite in Oaxaca. Beaches in the summer are not a popular option, but we're surfers so... We stayed...

Nice T100. Keep tearing it down and rebuilding it! It's the best way to dial it in for your needs. I had similar intentions with my T100 I picked up 8 months ago. I opted for fiberglass though since I'm no welder. I've been living in it full time for six months and would love to redesign it to...

Here's my T100. South of Mexico City Stock 5vz-fe, manual trans. Stock suspension with Bilstien replacement shocks. This is on our way to Pierda Grande, the base camp for climbing Pico de Orizaba (3rd tallest peak in North America)

Great looking truck. It's coming along nicely. I'm driving a T100 through central america right now. Been going for six months and very happy with it as a platform for a build. If you are considering any other mods I would suggest building a low profile transmission cross member. Maybe do a skid...

First of all: Awesome vehicle!! I wouldn't worry about adding weight to the fiberglass. It's easy to strengthen by adding more glass at mounting points or if you mount the rack and find it is too much for the roof, it is easy to repair and improve at that time. But it would result in more wind...
