Driving a Tacoma around the world

Good question. In the first few days we kept in a loose convoy while following the vehicle with the guide. That is assuming that everyone had enough horsepower to climb fast enough the daily 14,000' high passes. So most of the vehicles were pretty slow and were 20 minutes behind the guide which was no big deal. Despite weighing 7,300 lbs, we had more power than most. Later on in the trip, while still in Tibet and later in China, we were comfortable enough to spread out and would meet up with the guide at the lunch spot and at our final destination for the day.

 

Definitely! I've been keeping up on updating the map on the hood. I think it helps us more easily cross borders. Once the Customs and Police realize we've crossed dozens of borders I think they relax on their inspections.

 

awesome! gonna have to show off that map its been a min since ive seen it!
