MARYLAND TACOMAS

The pan American trail seems like the next logical step after Flagpole Knob

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA this made me laugh

 

He's a land cruiser guy. He leads trail riding and camping trips with guys down there. I have some photos and videos somewhere on here from one of their trips.

 

I don't want them. I was about to buy Bora 1/2" spacers, but i bought some hubs/wheel bearings from @05Taco4x4 instead. Need to wait a little bit anyways.

Plus, ive been thinking about refreshing my front rotors/pads when i have everything apart for the hubs anyways. (Also need to replace the CV axle nuts when I tear everything apart)

 

@Road_Warrior Time to start getting the rig ready for the big voyage

 

My friend is currently driving to Argentina. I think hes in Belize now.

If you have ig, he is @wherewouldwillgo

Hes not in a Toyota though. Ford Excursion diesel, 8" lift on 37s.

 

I need a risk assessment of the odds we get shot at and/or robbed.

If the odds are low enough, I’m in. You can lie to me about the risks

 

Low risk. 8/10 would recommend.

 

I watched that whole expedition overland series where they did South America and there were definitely some super sketchy parts.

Is that the one with Ewan McGregor? Or am I thinking of something else?

 

Im still kinda busy at home and work. Ill follow you all to South Maryland and then head on back home.

 

What could go wrong?

Great series. They do some cool stuff.

Yuck why would you do that?

Make a trip to like West Virginia instead.

 

No it’s a group from Montana that builds out Toyota trucks and then takes them on crazy expeditions that no average person has the time or money for lol they have a YouTube channel where they post all their stuff.

 

Gotcha. I was thinking of this one which sounds like the motorcycle version of that:

I feel like there's a greater risk heading toward B-more than to central America...

 

ABC Wrecking in Arizona. They specialize in low mileage wrecks. I've bought 2 3.4's from them. The 69k mile one came out of a wrecked 03 Tacoma prerunner, $1400 shipped to my job in Baltimore. Other 3.4 was 109k miles out of a wrecked 02 4runner, $900 shipped. I still have that engine, I sold the project truck to a member on here. The yard gave me the vehicle vin's. I had my uncle that was a service manager at a dealership run them to confirm mileage.

 

Workin the half-a-million mile taco again today.

 

Hmmm the link didn’t work but I know what movie you’re talking about! Isn’t that based on a true story? The expedition overland guys reference that real life guy every once in a while.

They have gotten a little too commercial for my tastes now that they’re sponsored by all the huge companies
