Oh, I remember! Yeah, I had a reg cab truck for 9 years so I definitely understand the limitations. At least you've got plenty of room in the canopy to keep stuff out of the weather.

Wow, Juddrussell, your regular cab looks wicked! I really like the Line-X'd bed :drool:

We'll be returning to our regularly scheduled adventures on May 5th. Flights to Costa Rica are booked! We will continue south from there. Looking forward to wandering around South America!

Thanks Rigid!! Thanks livetoride21!

Just a few more months before we head to Costa Rica, pick up Red, and continue our journey south... The Dangerz (www.thedangerz.com) just sent us this photo from when they were picking up their VW Bus. Nice to see the truck is still there and waiting patiently in the dust for our return!

Come on Adam... you always make me feel like my trucks are junk when you post pictures of that blue beast :drool:. (The new 80 is looking great already as well BTW!)

I did! I would assume the same.

Agreed!

I'm running Trail-Gear bumpers on both of my trucks... it's hard to beat the price! And add me to the list for people running older rigs as daily drivers...

Cameron, What's the plan for "downgrading and simplifying"?

DIY GUY, your pickup looks ************! The theme and functionality of the truck is great.

Thanks Clutch! Yeah, a green one that I'm hoping to change up a bit soon... I'm thinking a little lower, some 285s... and a FWC. I have a problem.

With a couple modifications a canopy can be fairly secure. We were broken into twice in Mexico and updated our security accordingly ;) We haven't had any problems since. It's pretty easy to punch the locks out in the 4Runner to open the doors... In regards to security, don't leave anything...

I guess the next questions are: Do you plan on sleeping in your truck? Camping in a ground tent? Staying at hostels? Roof top tent? Camper? Do you need indoor living space or are you okay with camping outside all of the time? Do you need to be able to stealth camp along the way? For...

Agreed, an '89-'95 4Runner would be the best bang for the buck. People still ask a fortune for Pickups though!

Any vehicle with decent ground clearance that has been maintained well will get you to Panama. Throw some decent tires on it (with a proper full size spare) and you'll be able to hit 95% of the dirt roads that you'll want to (bring a compressor to air back up after airing down on some of those...

We travel a little lighter in the green rig... foamies and sleeping bags in the back, a cooler, and a couple of backpacks. Our buddy Alex is rocking a Mt. Shasta CVT and a couple of Rubbermaids in his Tacoma.

My 22RE powered pickup is super slow on long grades and barely keeps up to freeway traffic... but it did get us down to Costa Rica and will most likely get us to Ushuaia as well. The truck is fully loaded with gear on 265/75R16s and isn't regeared (stock 4.10s) so that doesn't really help...
