    Desk To Glory - Vancouver to Panama (or farther...)

    Next time wave us down for a chat! That road would have been a lot more fun in one of the prerun or race trucks!

    Desk To Glory - Vancouver to Panama (or farther...)

    Day three (we didn’t move from the beach on day two) in Mexico had us on a hunt for fish tacos, baja style. So far Mexico is all about the food and we don’t really see that changing anytime soon. Once again we were lucky to be travelling with Song of the Road. Erica had heard of a place called...

    Desk To Glory - Vancouver to Panama (or farther...)

    We've been averaging about 18mpg overall. Not bad for the weight, drag of the RTT, and all of the slow mountain passes... :)

    Desk To Glory - Vancouver to Panama (or farther...)

    There was one thing we couldn’t get out of our mind… Lobster burritos. Erica from Song of the Road had been talking about lobster tacos and lobster burritos the last time we had seen them and we just couldn’t stop thinking about them. All that stood between us and this mouth-watering garlic...

    Kole, There's a link at the very bottom of the homepage where you can sign up for updates... It disappeared for a few days after updating Wordpress! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

    We just crossed into Mexico today. Epic beach camping sunset with wild horses... We're camping just north of the Clam Beach RV Park. The beach is empty so we paid half price. Thanks for all the great comments! We'll update this ASAP! Scott, we'd love to connect along the way and/or...

    Now that we're a few weeks into our adventure I thought it was time to post here. Here's our Expedition Portal Build Thread. We left Vancouver on October 1, 2013 and are crossing into Mexico on Friday. Our adventures through the US have been fantastic so far and the list of places we want...

    3rd Gen Toyota Pickup - Budget Expo Build

    Yeah Dave, we ended up with a very slight rake fully loaded (not including extra water or fuel yet). Definitely happy with where it ended up and how it handles the weight. The choice to go with the Old Man Emu HD rear springs was a good one. We've hammered on it a bit getting to some decent...

    3rd Gen Toyota Pickup - Budget Expo Build

    Yeah, it's a lot easier to stop for a lookout when you're only in second gear on some of these mountain passes! Still knocking down 18-20mpg though, so not too bad!

    3rd Gen Toyota Pickup - Budget Expo Build

    Update from the road! Finally time for a quick catchup! We're already on the road heading south (stealing wi-fi in Florence, Oregon) but thought I should work on catching up this build a little bit! The new engine was dropped in about 5 weeks ago, was broken in, and then dropped off at...

    3rd Gen Toyota Pickup - Budget Expo Build

    rickashay, good to know about 4xToys... we'll be driving past there on our route so I'll keep it in mind! On another note, I'll be picking up the truck from www.disturbedindustries.com in a couple of hours. Lots of work was done to tune the truck up (valve adjust, injector clean and balance...
