This is the only time in our lives that we will be able to do a trip like this. The goal is to make it down to surf Pavones in CR and I have heard it is quite a journey to get to. Baja should be a blast to explore as well. I can't wait to do it.

I will be adding a fridge and portable air compressor too. I have to find a way to put the fridge and water jug in the back so it doesn't affect the sleeping arrangements too much. I won't have solar panels because the surfboards will be up top but I do have a jerry can holder for fuel that will...

My fiancé and I came up with the idea last summer to take 3 month long surfing road trip down to Costa Rica and back. I immediately started searching for a rig that would be dependable, fun, and go anywhere. That search led me to a 4Runner. After a month or so of searching, I came across a 97...

Sounds like an awesome trip. I bought my 4runner a few months ago specifically to do a CA-Costa Rica trip during the summer of 2015. First thing I did and would recommend is an external transmission cooler. LBJs are also a good idea if they haven't been done. I still have to do those. Flush all...

Loving the 944 in the background. My first car was an 88 944. Had so much fun in that car.

Thanks for the info. That sounds like a great option for me. I am going to check that out!

I came across there site awhile ago and downloaded their ebook which was pretty good. I want to go off the beaten path a little more than they did to surf but I will check their setup again. As far as your gf is concerned, you just have to plant little seeds and do smaller trips at first. If...

I was thinking about doing that, but where is the fun in that! I do want to increase the capability of the 4Runner a little bit for whatever I may encounter on my trip in Mexico.

Ok good to know. I am new to this and only want to do this once. Thanks for the comment. Did you do anything to the front?

I just bought a 97 T4R Limited 4x4 with a locker and 157k in September. I bought it because my fiance and I are planning to take a 3 month surfing/overland expedition through Baja, Mainland Mex, and Costa Rica in the summer of 2015. It is my first truck/suv. I just installed a B&M super cooler...

I have driven through Ensenada and Bahia De Los Angeles a few times but I will. It will be an experience for my fiance who has never been to Mexico though

I have black running boards off a 97 limited. I have all the brackets and bolts. All you gotta do is mount them. I am asking $100 obo. I am located in Santa Barbara, CA. Come pick them up!

Hey everyone, Just bought my first 4Runner and couldn't be happier. I tore my Achilles tendon playing basketball 3 months ago and after a month of not being able to do much of anything, I decided I wanted to be a lot more active and adventurous as soon as I recover. I have talked my fiancé into...
