In a few months we will be leaving for an extended tour of the North and South American continents. We have setup a website to track our progress at:

http://www.alongdrive.com

The proposed route and dates of the expedition are located at:

http://www.alongdrive.com/about/

The preparation and build-up of the truck can be found at:

http://www.alongdrive.com/fj-cruiser/

We expect that the trip will last about 15 months - if any of you are going to any of our destinations we would love to hookup! This will be our first 4x4 expedition any feedback or suggestions will be welcome!

Nice! I am about an hour east of you in Ripon.

Fantastic! Please let me know when you come through Arizona.

This is a nice mod:

wow, that is a nice cargo barrier to fit the sweet FJ. I like the dual tanks as well. Is it hard to fill with the neck in that location? Very covert, I like it.

Now I gotta see your itinerary to see if you're coming through my neck of the woods.

The filler neck is a bit tricky to get to but all in all the solution is pretty nice.

Real nice Blog site, and a great FJ for the trip, well done.

Going up then heading down, what a fantastic trip

What a lovely adventure with nice pictures! Beautiful FJ80 - I still feel a twinge of regret whenever I see a nice one.

I agree with this mod. If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost? I'm going to email Superior 4Wheel Drive about availability if the price is right. You could post or PM me. Thanks. Great FJ and wish you the best on your expedition.

The cost was $425 and the entire barrier was fabricated with 1" tubular steel.

So are you going to Belize after Palenque or Guatemala? If you're heading to San Christobal in Chiapas make sure to stop at Misol Ha and Agua Azul on your way. Beautiful and worthwhile stops!
