Update from the road
I received a few PMs from people asking how the project/travel is coming along. So, I guess it's time for an update on this thread. We are on the road now for 17 month and having a trip of our lifetime. So far we made it from Canada to Bolivia, but still have many month till we are done. All modifications work like charm. There are not many things I would do different next time.
In case of a mechanical issue (knock on wood so far just a couple), spare parts are very easy to come by as l300s are almost everywhere in Central/South America.
Enough said, let's see some photos:

p.s.
I hope you realize that Bolivia won't let you enter the country with a right-hand-drive vehicle!! Just thought I let you know before you get all excited.
By the way getting into Bolivia is no problem at all for RHD tourist vehicles.
