Wow. If only I could hit the road all year around with my fj62, inspiring photos!
 
Obviously no perro quarantine issues/requirement?
 
D, Don't know how Mexico is, but we always travel with all of Charlie's vet records. When we vacationed in Canada for six weeks, they asked for his records and thoroughly reviewed them prior to letting him across at the border. The US did the same coming back across at Sault Ste. Marie, MI, but they were more interested in playing with him .....

^ thanks. I did see on search results its typically OK to cross into Mexico with a dog as long as, like you stated, you have up to date papers. I know some countries have multi-month quarantine regardless of papers...
 
Friend of mine in a very built white FJ Cruiser spotted you today... all the way in GA!

 
I love this truck and all the photos. Started following you on Instagram and Facebook. Your dog is awesome. Keep living this most awesome life and keep us updated!
 
Don't you think Maddie would like a pic in my rig? :)

That's hilarious! It's my background also! Awesome rig!
Wish mine looked like that, wish I had photographic skills, and wish my dog would sit still for a photo op!

I'm back! Yeah! I've prob put another 10k miles on my FJ60 since Baja and now I just landed in Seattle, WA to start a 5.3L LC9 swap @ TorFab's shop. Very very pumped to get a modern drivetrain in my rig. I'll def be sharing all of that process and details over the next 2 weeks.

Here are a few images from some recent adventures, most recently I drove from Nashville to Seattle to get the new engine at my favorite shop:

Biggest upgrade recently has been a James Baroud Space Evo roof top tent. It's a huge upgrade all around from the ARB I had before



One of the radest camp spots I've found, a never finished nuclear power plant in eastern TN. I happened to cross paths with the farmer who leases the land and he was happy to let me explore.



Lots of meeting folks and climbing on the 2500 mile drive towards Seattle



Made it to CO!



 
Theron, no need for me to tell you how much you're going to love the vortec in your rig. Tor did an amazing job on my rig....it'll be great to see if yours is the one that finally pushes him over the edge to getting one of his own. Cheers!
 
I've been following you on instagram, pretty cool stuff!

Your going to love that new engine. The Chevy Suburban I've been driving for the last month has the same one and if its enough to make that overweight turd get up and move like it does, it should certainly be a riot in a 60.
