no, D/C 1st Gens are a 50" bed! The reg cabs and x-tra cabs have a 6ft bed or close to it. You have to decide what to sacrifice in the 1st Gens, more cab room or more bed room. Also something to think about with the 1st Gens (no clue on anything else), the rear of the frame is weak. It is not...

I had none of the problems Kurt mentions. Other then the TB my 04 Taco really didn't give me many problems. Lot's of little things getting it dialed in with the S/C but once dialed in it didn't give me any more probs. The TB is a well known problem though when you S/C the engine, a simple TB...

I have seen dealers listing clean stock 04 D/C Tacos for $18-21k, have not seen any listed by dealers that are clean for under about $16k. So make sure you get a nice number on your trade in. Good luck!

There is a lot of Tacos out there that are for sale. Some people are letting really nice trucks go for way to low price wise. The economy and all... I tried hard to sell mine but only had a few slightly serious bites. In the end I traded it for what I wanted... Good luck!

That is a good route choice and Baja is not to be missed. But if you want to get past Mexico City fast the Gulf Coast is much faster. If you are brave (nothing really to worry about) do the Mex200. It is one fantastic drive! The only problems you may have in Mexico is the police aksing for...

Hi Vince! No price, condition, location? I personally think the Sugga is one of the coolest trucks to build upon. I would love to have one like this....

That is a sweet truck in what looks like good condition. I don't know about $23k but it does look clean. Sure would be yummy with about 3" more lift, 35s and a v8! :)

You can do it for much less. I can drive straight to Panama on about $1,200 in fuel. No side trips though, that is straight there. On top of that it will cost me about $1,000 for other expenses, again if I drove straight there over the course of a few weeks. I am also including hotel costs...

Christian, I could not agree with you more. Since I moved to JH Wyoming very few life long friends have come to visit me. It is 1,000 miles from home and for most people that is a big trip when you have a job, kids and all that jazz. Not to mention one or two weeks a year for a vacation. IMHO...

Did you go to the dino fossil museum in Villa de Leyva? It is pretty amazing.... I also had fresh trout there that was very good. Oh and they grow some nice tomatoes in that area! Glad you went to the gold museum in Bogota. Did you know they only display a portion of the collection? I was told...

Oh and you will find FJ43s are more common then most other models of TLCs in Colombia. If you get lucky you might even see a Delta Mini-Cruiser. There is a few hundred of them in the country....

Colombia is actually Nissan Patrol heaven, in this part of the world anyways. You probably don't have an eye for Patrols since you are not familiar with them but trust me, more Patrols down there then TLCs. And Patrols have been in Colombia since about 1956, many very rare models there. There is...

That is pretty crazy! Goes to show nothing should stop you from hitting the road if you want to travel by vehicle.

Agree on Fraser, good to see you are going there. It was one of my highlights in my 5 week Oz trip. I spent my 35th B-Day on Fraser drinking Guiness and sitting on the beach. Also while in Sydney, I highly reccomend going to Royal National Park just outside the city. Amazing place! I have a...

I have some reliable contacts in India but those guys are into old Jongas (Nissan Patrols) not the Jeeps.

Wow they paved that road to the mud volcano. It was just a dirt road when I was there in 2008. I also ghave been to Casa Grande outside Los Naranjos, great place! And yes we have some of the best skiing in North America here in JH, Wyoming. Backcountry or at the resorts. This year there was so...

Make sure you check into how that tank works before buying it. I looked into the Downey and was planning to buy it, they stopped offering it just a few months before I was ready to purchase. The rumors I heard were that this tank was set up in a manner that caused CEL codes which is why Downey...

I drove it in January of 2010. No problems whatsoever, except being bribed in Acapulco. Just follow the normal rules, get off the road before dark, find a safe low key place to stay for the night before dark and you will be fine. Avoid the tourist areas like PV, Acapulco and so forth. Move...

Really nice E&M!! Your thread here, the blog @ unurban.no and the pictures on flickr are simply outstanding! I just spent an hour on flickr and on your blog checking it all out. Awesome, really awesome! Just looking at the pictures on flickr is sweet, almost no words needed to follow you guys...

Everybody has different opnions of what off-roading is. I see a lot of people on this forum who only drive dirt roads. To me that is not much off-roading and doesn't warrent moving the spare. Heck man, in my Tacoma dirt roads is about all it sees. Then I have a rock crawler on 40" tires, that...
