I will be glad to be of any help to frank and the rest of you. I would like to set up a big meeting to welcome you guys to medellin. So if you come up with a date i can make sure you have a great time. Horseback riding fishing etc.... and my buddy has a trusted land cruiser shop if . It would be great to have a group of mudders here. So count me in.
 
I think I'd be down for it. Is camping an option in some places to keep costs down?
 
some pics... My family hotel in the first pic, plenty of rooms; the shop, and some fun places around my house.... man, i can´t wait :grinpimp::beer::beer:

I have been thinking about setting up a annual trip. Where during the trip, we can have a knowledgeable toyota mechanic work on our rigs to do the hard stuff (head gasket, 5 speed conversions, birf rebuilds, etc) prep the rigs for a 2 week expedition around colombia.. Hit up the beautiful coastal national park of Tayrona, then head up to the desert and camp along the beach eating lobster and fried fish with cheap venezuelan beer and of course fuel.. Then head up to the beautiful mountain city of Bucaramanga passing through Valledupar, then onwards to the capital of Colombia where we can outfit our cars with (front and rear bumpers, sliders, roof racks, etc) then head down to the city of villavicencio for some extreme off roading with lots of water and mud.. LOL.. then back on up to Medellin, where we can see beautiful sites and then back down to Cartagena for a our return trip home.

Would you guys be interested in a travel package, which would include all hotels, meals, car shipping, US car transports, takes out the guess work in everything?

*muy* interested!
 
I'm interested. This would be insane!!

ABSOLUTELY! Need to start saving now.
 
Make sure your panhard bolts are torqued to specs..

This happened to me on more than one occasion, the first time on road, couple of others off.

Torque to spec, over torqued, checking torque on a near daily basis, or blue Loktite did not seem to mitigate whatever issue caused, (I always thought something to do with flexiness) so I tacked the bolt head to the mount, to make damn sure it'd never come out.

Figured the extra few minutes it took to grind the tack to remove the bolt was nothing compared to a lifetime in a grave.

Very interested. Put me on a notification list for sure
 
I'm interested with or without rig, next question would be guys only or can the :princess: come too?
 
Princesses are allowed but if you guys want a guys night out finding a group of girls to hang out with is like taking candy from a baby. All you have to do is ask!!!

I think there is a LOT that Americans do not understand about Latin America. This is one of those things. Americans are super uptight about this issue. I've been to Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil (many times), Peru, Argentina, Chile, Belize, etc. All for work. Its all the same and its all...normal, if thats the right word to use. It shocked the hell out of me the first time I went to Brazil. Total fish out of water. How "the guys" go out in Latin America is NOT how "the guys" go out in America. Not even close. I'll leave it at that.
