    Hi TW!

    My wife and I are currently half way through a 6 week overlanding & off-roading trip in South America - taking in Chile, Argentina, and Peru.
    It wasn't worth shipping my own Tacoma so I'm using a rental with a RTT - the vehicle is where we travel, cook, eat and sleep!
    Our trip covers around 5,000miles from the tri-border of Bolivia, Peru and Chile - down the length of Chile, zig-zagging into Argentina to the southern most tip of the South American continent - Tierra del Fuego.
    I'm posting our experiences on Instagram and Facebook and I'll provide more in depth details and reviews of gear we used when I get back to CA in late October.

    Cheers,

    Hi,
    Yes! We drove over 5,000 miles, it was fantastic and quite straightforward to undertake. We posted to our Facebook page and Instagram as we had limited internet access in Chile and Argentina - and using the apps was much quicker.... I'll try and upload some pics and info here soon!
