So after having bought FJ62 in Los Angeles, and having driven it from there to Buenos Aires (putting through a lot), I have shipped it back to Denmark where I can fix it up. And it needs it!
I'm not a skilled mechanic. I'm a Navy officer with an engineering degree, so bear with my work. I have taken engines apart before though and put them together again. I am doing my best, and I am more than open to input/suggestions. I want to do it as great as possible!
Some pictures to enjoy/frown upon.
While it was still pretty in a volcano crater in Mexico
Outside the police station in Peru, after the incident with the bull. At this point I thought I wouldn't be able to continue.
20 hours later with help from 3-4 mechanics working the car with jacks, chains, hammers and whatmore we regained hope, that I'd might be able to complete our trip. They did not demand a single penny for their help. What a bunch of guys...
From Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
After crossing Argentina west to east on highway 288, which was a s***ty gravel road for most parts. It had big potholes which I tried to fly over. However there was also Guanacas everywhere (big alpaca-like creatures). This was an exciting cocktail. The transfercase mounts were falling apart after this gravel road. No more off roading for the rest of this trip!
