Antique Land Cruiser on the road since 2003

[landcruising]

That looks exactly like how they repair the roads here in Michigan, but, well, maybe they did a little nicer job there

lol... They know how to really repair and build roads as well, but several different contractors and no real formal education in this field makes it a problem. More so, if there isn't any one to check up on things and regulate it.


But.... on with the flow:

Author Cynthia McLeod registering visitors on her famous boat tour.

Limited edition Addidas with a red bow-tie.

How handy those little elastic bands.

It says: "Turtles and Caymen, registre here", but it means, "Sign up for you Turtle / Caymen tour here".

You will find pieces of cars everywhere.

Thanks Scott, I will.



Don't forget to get the latest Toyota Trails and read Karin-Marijke's Vietnam Story!

But here is some more for you all from my lens:

The house parrot.

The US Airforce brought their Bobcat next door, where they are reconstructing a small clinic.

Raven = Ara!

The wheelbarrow is an essential tool in Surinamese rural life.

A young girl making bread from Cassave flour.

I like to make artisan and homemade breads for our family (even some of the questionable flours like sorghum I think are better than what we can buy in the store). I've had cassava bread (along with surprisingly fantastic fufu), but I thought the flour was boiled? Did you get a chance to see the whole process (I assume she is "processing" it as to get rid of the cyanide)?

To detox the flour they grate the roots, let is soak for a while and then they put it in a long tube of braided leaves to dry it. I don't know if there are more steps to it. It also depends on which type of root you will use. There are 2 types which they commonly name "bitter" and "sweet", the latter contains less toxic levels.



You can do so many things with it... I especially like the roots cooked a little and then fried!

So: after a close inspection yesterday, I came to the conclusion that one shock absorber is leaking on the front left, and that the bumper stop on the same side is missing?!

Obtaining shock absorbers would pose no problem here in Suriname, but those bumper stops pose to be difficult.

I looked into my parts catalogue and see that they are the same for the whole line-up of 40 series. But that there is a difference in left and right? I always thought that they would be the same hight. What is the difference and where does what go, I am looking for specs as I will need to fabricate something here.

What are your thoughts?

What's the part# there? I do believe the rubber portion is either higher/lower depending on the side. How hard is it to have stuff shipped, they surely can't be that much $ from the States.

 

[landcruising]

I bought something that I thought would be fitting and made some adaptations to the holes. Running it now..

Many Thanks

Coen,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your adventures with us. It is great to not only see the cities, but the beauty of the rural and less traveled areas, especially through your well-trained lens.

Thanks again,
