    Honduras Bound

    Awesome looking rig. That's going to be awesome if it gets 25 mpg. What does it get now? What gets you down in C.A. multiple times per year?

    Hindsight = 20/20...what did you wish you had left behind? What did you need?

    That's great info. I'm going to have to check out 'prey'.

    4runner hood insulation

    It's likely just sound insulation. I'd take it down and see how the vehicle sounds and decide if it worth replacing.

    Wife thinks I should build more of these?

    That's definitely a great looking trailer. The question is, how much would you have to charge for one to make it worth your while? Consider all materials, time, and opportunity cost of not doing something else.

    Black Bear Pass, Bear Creek trail, 3 bears, and some beers

    That looks like a great trip. I've got plans to take the little lady up to Mesa Verde sometime. The cliff dwellings are incredibly structures.

    Austintaco's retroactive build thread for a 2003 Tacoma double cab

    Great looking rig! I dig the blacked out 4R limited rims. Those are my favorite rims, I'm looking for a nice set too. I'm repeatedly amazed at how bad the Taco seats are, even in the SR5, especially after having such good ones in the 80-90s SR5 trucks/4Runners. Those G6 seats look like great...

    Ruins and Rust: Texas to Patagonia, AND BEYOND, in an older 4runner

    Ha ha ha, that "stealing AC" photo is hilarious... I've been in that situation many a time. Amazing photos guys... Guanajuato looks like an incredible city. I wonder how many times OR Trail has been quoted by ill travelers in C.A? I can count 2 :-D Congrats on the successful hitchin' down...

    Antique Land Cruiser on the road since 2003

    Great photos. Interesting. It's the same in Nicaragua. It's expensive to call between the two companies, and the companies often have promotions of discounted rates to call phones they service as they jockey to become dominant in the market (Enitel seems to be winning). Since cell phones...

    Sandals this Summer

    Anther vote for Chacos. I had two pairs or Tevas before my Chacos... the biggest difference (besides price) between them is weight, the Tevas were much lighter. I think that the Chacos have more support and overall are more comfortable. I think I paid about $20 for the Tevas, and $50 for the...

    San Francisco to Ushuaia in an 87 4Runner.

    Wow, you should get that mechanic's contact info and post it. It's a challenge to find trustworthy mechanics when traveling.

    Man, stranded in the Sahara desert, takes broken car and makes a motorcycle.

    I happened upon this story, couldn't find it already posted searching key words, so I thought it appropriate to share here. It's reminiscent of the story "Flight of the Phoenix". Where there is a will, there is a way...

    ExPo Project: 1991 Land Cruiser Prado SX (LJ78)

    San Francisco to Ushuaia in an 87 4Runner.

    Great report, it looks like y'all are having a blast :-D Did y'all go to the Masaya NP museum? IMHO, it's one of the best museums in the country.
