You should see it without the street tire set on it. I believe this is what is referred to as Redneck Engineering, right? I give them an A for effort, as long as that isn't painted PVC or exhaust pipe. Had they stripped the factor bumper off and practiced using the bender more, they could...

I have not yet, but I'm eager to go. It's very unique place that is strikingly different than the Pacific side. Coincidentally I was talking to a coworker this evening who made the trip to Puerto Cabezas in RAAN a few years ago. He followed more or less this route. About 215 miles, in the...

You guys drove within a km of my house on your way to Selva Negra... bummer we didn't cross paths. Did you take the obligatory photo in front of the burned out tank? :-D It's not as cool of a photos since it's been painted rainbow colors. :-P

Third choice... if you are in really remote places where they don´t have the equipment to mount tubeless tires: steel split rims. Very tough rims, although you´ll probably have to pick them up outside the US... DOT isn´t a fan of them...

"what strikes me as oddities and absurdities " Oops, I think my ethnocentricism is showing. :-D I'll post some of what I'm talking about soon... I'm living in Matagalpa, "Sandino Country" deep in the Nicaraguan northern highlands, which is very rugged and generally cooler than the rest of...

When a person looks back on their life, they sometimes refer to having "started a new chapter" but it's not often that in the moment you know that it is happening. My life recently took a change that is bigger than a new chapter, it's more like closing the book and starting the next in the...

You can put the images into your post using html or the shortcut button. Get the address for the photo (If Windows, right click on the photo to get the browser options and view/copy the address) to put it into the post using the button. ...and I see what you mean about the scotch. Yikes.

Ditto, great looking rig. I especially like the ladder to access the roof... and the metal window fillers... and side lights... and triple battery setup. Yeah, more photos por favor.

So ugly... and awesome. Neither. 1.8 L 2Y 2.0 L 3Y-U 87 hp ('83-'85) 2.2 L 4Y-E 102 hp ('86-'89) 2.0 L 2C diesel

Ditto on all that.

That price is hard to beat. I have two pairs of US Army ACU pants that I picked up for $8 each and dyed brown... They are great for camping/hiking/etc because they are very comfortable, very tough and the new design has great pockets; the rear pockets button closed, the hip pockets are deep...

Here's what I came up with to fix the "no place to put the cup/can" in an 88 4Runner that I had. It velcro-ed down into place behind the shifter so I still had access to the cubby below it. I don't have a photo of it in place, but you can imagine how it was. I plan to build a double-wide...

That is fricking sweet... and I´ve got an extra 4Runner top just waiting for an idea like this... only problem is that I´m 2000 miles from it. :-/ One thing I´d change... move the pillows to the other side where the ceiling is higher so that your feet are under the low part. Yep, that´s the...

Personally, I think the disagreement with Costa Rica is much sensationalized by the media and made out to be a much bigger deal than it is. Don't let it scare you out of seeing all the great things Nicaragua has to offer. BTW, once you are in the northern country, you'll see a lot of police...

Wow, Winning bid: US $5,900.00

Very cool, I'm planning a trip over to the Atlantic coast in the future. From what I read, it's completely unlike the Pacific side in geology, climate, infrastructure, culture and peoples. RAAS and RAAN are like other countries inside Nicaragua. Have fun and take lots of photos :-D Regards,

Those seats are sweet. I put 125K on a pair of them in my old 88 4Runner, totaling 230K miles and they still look as good as the ones in your photo. I now have them in my 86 4Runner, replacing a set very similar to yours in condition, and I honestly like them better than the seats in my Taco...

They didn't mention the non factory seats :-D If that Land Cruiser could talk, what stories would it tell? I guess, it'd probably just say "Kill me, please kill meeeeeee...." How much is that price in greenbacks?

That must have been awesome to cruise in in 1968.

Sweet. I wish they had manual trans with the 4 doors in 2003.
