Bumping this old thread. I took a lot of pics on that last big trip. Didn’t post very many here it seems.

In Costa Rica next to a BJ42.

Only problem I had in 15,000 miles down to Panama and back was a seized rear caliper. It happened on the way home in Mexico north of Veracruz. I had the parts to fix it myself in the truck but figured another jack and another set of hands might help. This roadside mechanic was living in his van, for $20 he didn’t want me to help other than to fetch tools! He actually really did know what he was doing so I let him do most of the work and I just supervised and fetched tools.

I sold the truck while in Panama believe it or not. But I had to come back to the USA to deliver it. A weekend or two before the newer owner flew in to take the Cruiser I took it on one last wheeling trip here in Idaho.

So before I left the USA I stopped by the Valley Hybrids shop where Georg let me use their lift to finish up a few things in the build. Dominic also helped me install the Harrop Elockers.

Georg had got this Pinzgauer from me a few years earlier, it was cool to see it again, I have a lot of history with the truck.

We spent nearly six weeks living like this all over Baja, man I am needing another trip like this.

From there we went to Guanajuato in Mexico where we stayed for about a month. We did a lot of things out of Guanajuato like go kayaking at this lake with a sunken church. It was a great time spent in Guanajuato and it is a really awesome city.

From Guanajuato I headed down to El Salvador to pick up a friend who rode the rest of the way with me to Panama. I stopped off in Antigua, Guatemala because it’s a great city and I always enjoy stopping there.

I finally got to meet an internet buddy face to face in Nicaragua. We had been talking for years and it was really cool to finally meet him. He is a great guy and we have become good friends since.

We made our way down to Panama over the next couple weeks.

I got to check this out in Nicaragua on my way home.

Wyoming Cruiser in Panama.

I rented a house on the beach in Panama and spent about a month chilling out and deciding my next move.

I decided to head back to the USA to sell the Cruiser, this was my route.

I drove many roads like this on the trip but the Cruiser loved it all!

Sometimes (in cartel land) you just got to squeeze the Cruiser into the hotel lobby!

And this was the new owner taking the Cruiser home.

I took a lot of video on the trip but never finished editing and getting nice for presentation.

Here is some footage from the village I lived in down in Panama. I have actually been here four times and lived here once for three month and two other times for a month each.



And here is some footage from Baja.



Here is a narrated video of me at one of our many remote camps in Baja. I have been to Baja four times, twice in Cruisers and twice in a Taco. Shortest trip being three weeks, I really need a trip down there soon!

A little walk around video of the 100 in Guanajuato Mexico and on the beach in Panama. Cant wait to get a nice stereo like this in my 80-series.

And that is about all I got folks unless I go through some 1,000 videos and do something with them.
