Hi I didnt build a 40 for expeditions, but thats my favorite form of wheeling/camping so the next vehicle I get will be. Thanks for all the inspiration on this site!
I gotta say though I think alot of guys go a little overboard for weekend warrior stuff lol

My Tan 1984 Fj60 SOCAL

Not nearly finished as I have an INTI roof racvk on order from JC in Fla, AAL + 33X10.4 or 11X 15" or 16" rims are in the works, ARB front +Warn 8274 are the next additions.

After: Rear by Luke at 4X4 Labs, Sliders by SROR, Safari Land Snorkle, Kabul Lic Plate. HA HA...

 

[Off Duty]

Great looking rig!
Now you might want to get it out of the salt bath.

These damned things rust quick enough on thier own without any assistance

BTW- The Kabul plate is an excellent touch

 

[boerboel313]

Oh ya, well aware of the effects of the salt. After our weekend during SnT 2009 on Pismo Beach, CA I spent $30 at the do -it -yourself car wash hitting the under carriage and every other crack needing a spray.

 

[Devortex]

Just emerged from my garage...more to come.

 

[Bogo]

Salt's corrosive abilities pales in comparison to some of the newer road deicing chemicals.

 

[sandcruiser]

great looking 60. I like the skinny tire look.

Just emerged from my garage...more to come.

 

[sandcruiser]

here's another. Sandcruiser v2.1. Exploring a muddy, rutty road in Costa Rica, near Playa Avellanas.

 

[sandcruiser]

Same fj40 as above, driving in Nosara, Costa Rica... this isn't a river crossing but just a puddle in the road.

Chris and Simon, great 60-series shots!

Chris, you back stateside yet? If not I might want a plate for our wall or some Hilux pieces!

 

[NorCalBorn]

Is that place that served the shaved ice still there? That shelf right there's such a cool little spot to kick back at while finishing one up and watching people pass by. Same with the square in San Miguel de Allende.

Might head down soon. There's another town with this huge open square with a bit of a hike up..really really narrow streets and it was 2 different levels with small boutiques alongside. For the life of me I can't remember it's name..not Salamanca and not Santiago de Queretaro..Mexico City??

Road tripping through Talpa, Jalisco

Okay, it's not really an expedition rig yet, but we did a little tour through Guyana, Brazil, and Venezuela with it. The planning for this summer is to start in Suriname (where we live), then Guyana, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Equador, Peru, Bolivia, and back via Brazil, crossing the Amazon river, then back to Guyana and Suriname. For the cruiser: must become more of an expedition rig. Needs a snorkel, lockers, bigger winch, roof tent, long range tank, hi-jack, and some small things.
Pictures are from Venezuela, Roraima Mountains. Friends rig is Hilux 1987, 2.4 turbo diesel, manual.

And two more. Oh, btw, our spare diesel jerrycans are motor boat tanks. The good thing about that, is that they're low. The bad thing is, that I didn't have the right stops, so the Cruiser got a diesel shower. Not good for the window rubbers
