Hello mud. This time of the year the weather varies, there has been a few thunderstorms but the gravel roads are still in good shape. It took us 12 hours from Medellín.
Getting to the hut is a different story, after it rains the dirt loosens and the mud becomes king....
Next trip is planned for october, hopefully i can gear the 80 with a new set of mud tires as the last months of the year are rainy.
Thanks all for continuing to follow.
Some have mentioned they like the simplicity about this thread. The land Cruiser hut is a simple place. Being there makes you forget that life does not need to be complex in many ways.
Maybe having more money to spend there and also to put on the land Cruiser could make thinks a little easier and maybe more confortable. But the reality is that getting there and staying there are just enough to make my life happy and just go on.

Exactly..
@juanchogaviria I have no idea how I missed this thread, I love it I have been to Mexico ( not the tourista loacal ) and would love to go back, Columbia would be cool especially to the LC hut a perfect location for complete serenity . BTW your moniker Juancho 
is he Sancho's brother

That's one thing that I like about the 80 series - usually the journey is as fun as the destination, sometimes more, but always awesome.
The Hut is coming along nicely. The land Cruiser looks nice & clean for all the mud I see on the road to the Hut. The green in the trees you have this time of year is awesome.
Enjoy

Hello mud. Im very happy to say that the fj40's on the shop are coming along, it has been a slow job but at the end it will pay off.
Here is a picture of the interior, gave it a good cleanup.
Need to install the gearbox and clutch. Then i will continue putting everything else on place.
Hope to sell this baby soon, i have kept it for as long as i can but really the 80 series is a more functional vehicle right now.
Wish i could keep all of them

Hi Mud. The 1970 fj40 is a little behind but have managed to install emblems and mirrors.
Need to start looking for a nice soft top...

Hello mud, getting ready to make the next trip to The land Cruiser Hut, been gathering wood and different materials to build the outhouse bathroom, will be there for around 9 days. The rainy season is back and the land cruiser got a new set of tires, money was an issue so i bought a more economical set. Continental a/t 255/70/16, will try these and let you know how it goes on the mud, maybe putting the air pressure to around 22 psi would be a good idea, stay tuned....
Man this is one of the coolest things. I hope you don't mind if I live vicariously through you for awhile.
I was talking to the wife just the other day about doing something similar with a plot of land in Colorado...
Sub'd!

Hello mud, been brousing pictures from the road to Rio cedro, people are complaining that the public transport is having troubles making their way to the villages...
When the road is in better shape and you see this buses on the rearview mirror, you habe to either step on the gas or let destiny and the bus driver decide to pass and make every stop after this beast, they average about 50 mph on the dirt road, a huge cloud of dust goes up in the air, you can not see a thing. It feels like a mad max movie...

Wow, it sounds like the bus drivers are a hazard to everyone - their own passengers and the other rigs on the road as well. Maybe the mud will tame them a bit - if they're stuck they can't do anything but block the road. 
Then they'll have to answer to everyone for their poor driving. Good luck avoiding them
