The spare would go on a small platform, above our sleeping space...basically above our feet, laying flat. Technically it won't have to be moved in/out of the vehicle unless we need to use it. Seriously? No one wants a ridiculously cheap Hannibal rack? Bump to the top. C'mon folks, this is a...

changed my username, it's now Ruined Adventures.

1987 Toyota 4Runner DLX - purchased with 237,000 miles 22RE 2.4L engine While replacing the head gasket, the previous owner decided to rebuilt the motor at 203,000 miles W56 5-speed transmission 4.10 geared differentials Completely stock including the awful running boards, chrome trim and front...

Best advice yet. What are you driving right now? I recommend you look for a 4cyl manual wagon like a camry, accord or subaru...great on gas, reliable, and it's hard to go any cheaper without suffering in reliability. My dad has an '91 Accord wagon and it's a treat to take exploring WA when...

Just curious, where did you cross from Columbia to Ecuador? Was it at Ipiales? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere...thanks!

Do you have pictures showing the repairs that need to be done on the Sportshade? I'm interested

I've been looking at the same unit from Sierra Expeditions, you should post up the details after you do the install :sombrero:

cadaver bag? :Wow1:

defrag, it's beginning to scare me how similar our minds work

Haha, me too. I'm thinking about fabbing a tray to hold them. One that will bolt under the vehicle, to the "thing" that lowers the spare tire. I could store the spare in the vehicle, or maybe fab a rear tire swingout that "looks stock" for the spare tire. My cans are airtight so I'm not worried...

Thanks. Unfortunately I picked up the rack before we decided we were going to do this trip. It's been on the rig for about a year now and I've decided we don't need it for what we're doing... It makes the 4runner look mean, it's super light & it's functional...but for a 30,000 mile trip the...

it has been mentioned a few times on here, but it's worthy of multiple threads...it's an impressive journey. The fact that Nick went 15 months, 37k miles, thru at least 33 countries for under $50,000 (including the price of his vehicle) is an incredible feat when you think about it.

Rock, flag & Eagle... okay, ignore the obnoxious music and this starts out pretty impressive...saw it, and I figured i'd share it here since this is the only place on Expo that the Eagle seemed relevant

Figured I'd pass this on to the Jeep guys here... http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/2396722921.html this is my brother's Jeep. He's selling it because he never drives it, and he wants to put the money into restoring the '78 Ford Highboy that my dad bought brand new from the factory. Please don't...

Yeah, it's definitely easier with propane. You're best bet is propane since you carry a heater too, not really a good liquid fuel alternative for those. I like the dual fuel gear because it's kinda "olds cool" and we can find gas anywhere in the world for our stove & lantern. Just the other...

Ah, I see...that makes sense. Good luck with the sale!

I'm pretty sure the SPOT service is non-transferable. Something you may want to confirm. Not trying to rain on your parade, but i'd hate for someone to be disappointed...

By the way, Jason is a standup guy and I've had nothing but good experiences buying/selling parts from him...bump for a great deal

That absolutely helps, wow. I like how you broke it down...thank you! Sounds like shipping around the Darien was enough trouble to convince you guys to sell the truck/camper in South America? :sombrero:

I stopped at a Best Buy in San Antonio this weekend, and picked up two of these...I still have to get the service switched from my old SPOT Personal Tracker, but once I have that ironed out I will be ready to sell the used SPOT Personal Tracker and the extra SPOT Messenger 2 (silver) that I...
