Driving A 38 Year Old Land Cruiser To The Andes (Peru)
Peru, our third country in South America, surprises us with the vast and jaw-dropping Cordillera Blanca region. After ascending to the Andes Mountains from Peru's coast via the stunning desert landscape filled Ruta 3N, we spend a week driving and hiking in Peru's most spectacular region. Highlights include:
Laguna 69, the trekking tourist beloved alpine lake surrounded by snow-capped glaciers at 15,000 feet,
Laguna Parón, another icy blue lake that you can set up base camp next to in your overland rig,
and Pastoruri Glacier, one of the Cordillera Blanca's famous glaciers that can be accessed by a relatively easy hike.

First 4x4 Drives & Waves in Ecuador

They say time feels like it's passing us by quickly when we get locked into a routine that doesn't change often. Back home in the US, we felt like our lives were slowly slipping through our fingers into the mundane. So we left the comfort of home behind, and decided to drive our 1985 HJ75 Toyota Land Cruiser Troopy south on the Pan-American Highway to Argentina. In Ecuador, we found *so many* f...
A Colombian Overland Adventure: Land Cruiser + Defender

When we left one year ago to drive our 38 year old Toyota Land Cruiser Troopy all the way south to Argentina, we knew some serious adventures were in our future. But we weren't prepared for what South America would offer us. Rugged 4x4 tracks, rare flora and fauna that you can't see anywhere else, and friendships with other travelers that will last a lifetime. In this video, we search for the e...
Driving A 38 Year Old Land Cruiser Around The World

People think we're crazy for traveling the world in a Toyota Land Cruiser from 1985, but we LOVE this rig. Despite it's 38 years of age (many years older than both of us), there is no other vehicle we'd want to travel in long-term. But after 10 months of travel, we are realizing a vehicle of this age requires another level of maintenance to keep it on the road and heading south on the Pan-Ameri...

We Took An Overnight Cargo Ferry To Sinaloa

As Americans, traveling to interior Mexico for the first time felt, well, scary. And as we prepared to board an overnight ferry from Baja to Sinaloa in our 1985 HJ75 Toyota Landcruiser Troopy, we were nervous.

    Best thing for that sort of travel, a simple well made old truck. If it was a new one, you would just have different problems to deal with, and it would be more difficult to solve the problems when they arose. I would love to overland and if I ever do, I'll be looking for a truck like yours!
