The floor is insulated with foam and on top of the insulation is that sort of sticky/wool type fabric you normally see in some of the rear drawer builds. On top of the fabric is all-weather matting and then some wannabe husky all-weather floor mats.
Final day of our 12-day tour rests in Antigua, Guatemala. The Shorty broke a CV joint in Peten pulling the FJ out. I also bent my tie rod and had some minor aesthetics damage, but overall the new mods on the Shorty performed exactly like I had anticipated. The FJ suffered a lot more body damage...
If you are planning for international expo I would stick to Toyota or Nissan. Spare parts for lesser common vehicles, such as Chevy, Jeep or Ford, will be more expensive and harder to find. In Guatemala, US-brands are considered luxury vehicles so you will pay a premium for their service and...

Thanks! In the photos, the color of the Shorty comes out a lot more yellow than it really is. In person it's a lighter shade of yellow and in between a sandstorm. I wanted it in between that safari beige and the Camel Trophy khaki. The handle I believe was taken off a Yota or other type of...
