Thank you!

Awesome, thank you!

Hey Erich, I've been trying to work out how to travel across borders, and oceans, in my vehicle. I live in the United States, so all of North America is easy, as is Central America for the most part. However, I start to wonder how I could transport the vehicle from South America to Africa, for...

I have 2 60 series, an FZJ80 and a 100 series. The 60's ride like covered wagons (leaf springs), the 80 rides like a 90's era truck and the 100 rides like a Bentley. In completely stock form the 100 can go further, in far more comfort, and any of my other LCs. If I get somewhere I need a...

Well I was thinking more about a pic of the plug, but hey, nice truck! So if the engine is running and you can't get it repaired there, you should be OK driving it back so long as you take it easy. As I said, if it's just a knock sensor, then get the highest octane you can buy, maybe buy some...

So, does the engine start and idle? Also, what kind of vehicle, and do you have pix? If it's just a bad knock sensor then you can get away with driving it gently back home. The knock sensor senses, wait for it, engine knock. Engine knock occurs when the fuel/air mixture ignites before it's...

Same here. I'll try to get there around 6 as well.

Exploring the abandoned towns sounds pretty cool. My intention is to figure out this vehicle camping thing, not damage my vehicle in the process and create a lot of cigar ash. I'm a simpleton.

Excellent, looking forward to it!

This trip OK for stock LX470 and a trail virgin, or should I get my feet wet on another trip first? I've done lots of 2 wheel off roading but very little 4 wheel stuff. I also don't want to be "that guy" screwing up the trip for others.

Indeed! There are lots of choices and a wide range of prices too. I've got my research to do.

Thanks Road, I think this has solidified my decision for a hardshell RTT.

Thank you Kent!

Thanks Paris! Those Oxtents look amazing. They might be exactly what I'm looking for actually. Something like an RV3 or 4 would be great for days on location, clearly very sturdy and goes up and down very quickly. Thanks for the share!

Yeah, I think I need to figure out how to try one out for sure. FWIW I have a 100 series Land Cruiser and so space would be at a premium in there as well.
