In the process of starting our build and the first trip is Panamerican highway to Ushuaia. Our base for our build is a 2017 Toyota J78 Troop Carrier. They call them Troopys in Australia and they call the Monjas here in Colombia. Monja means Nun I dont know if its because they are long and white like a nuns dress or if they used them to hall the nuns around to the pueblos but Monja is ok by me. Look forward to sharing the build and picking some brains.
