When I did the initial (partial) restoration of my family FJ40 in 2020, the main goal was always to regain the confidence to take it in any distance trip and be ready for any adventure.
Since then, in 2021 I took it in a trip across the Pyrenees along the French-Spanish border.
In 2022 I took it in a trip across the Alps along the old military tracks and forts in France and Italy.
Earlier this year in 2023 I did a big loop in France up north to Paris and back to the south.
So now it is time for a new adventure, to go further and really put to the test the roadtrip capability of my FJ40.
It is time to change continent... This how I started drafting a rough map to explore Morocco, from the most eastern settlement, to the high Atlas mountain, passing by the Sahara desert. The loop isn't complete because the route and timing will change so the end will have to be reworked by the time I'm there...
This how I ended up in Sète, France, lining up to board a ship that will bring me to Nador, Morocco 40h later.
I guess we will soon know if it was a good idea and how many technical issues I'll encounter...
