My Guatemala Vacation Toyota Territory Pics . (PICS ADDED ON PAGES 2 & 3)

[iNfErNaL]

What's up everyone ?    . I just got back from a 2 week Family vacation . We went to Guatemala and had a blast . You guys would be amazed at how many Toyotas that country has . Toyotas are number 1 there , everywhere you look you see a Toyota 4x4 . Anyway , it was an awesome vacation , it was pretty hot and humid but we had a great time . I called this thread "Toyota Territory" because these signs are seen all over the country :

We rented a 2008 Mitsubishi Turbo Diesel (4WD of course) because I knew we would be doing a little bit of wheelin' . On our 2nd or 3rd day we went to Las Lisas , a local beach and there were 4x4 Toyota trucks EVERYWHERE you looked . Here's just a couple of random shots :

A couple more random beach pics . The first one is of my two kids loungin' in the water :

These Toyota Hilux 4x4s are a common sight in Guatemala , I really like the looks of them . This one is a 2008 Turbo Diesel 4x4 :

I had contacted a buddy of mine down there and told him we were headed down and wanted to do some wheelin' , so he organised a little wheelin' trip for us with a few other buddies for the following Friday . We went up the back side of  "Volcan Pacaya" wich is a volcano that is always errupting . Pretty bad ass to see at night . Anyway , 10 rigs ended up showing up including our rental . Of the 10 rigs , 7 were Toyotas  . I couldn't wait to get back to the states and post these pics :

sweet pic's, when I went to Jamaica it was the same thing Toyota's every where.  Every truck there Misti,toy,ranger was 4door diesel.

Seeing vehicles like those really make you hate the U.S. and its silly politics.

YUP , same here man . The 4 door diesel Rangers are bad ass , but there were Mitsus , Mazdas , Yotas and everything else ,  4 Door Diesel . There's even a brand named "Admiral" , they're basically Toyota truck bodies , 3rd gen trucks and there is also 4 Runners but they have Isuzu diesel motors . From what I heard they are hard to get parts for but they are pretty popular .

Anyway , on to some more wheelin' :

are any of those rigs diesel?

[iNfErNaL]

Actually there were only two rigs on our run that were diesel and that was Julios BJ70 pick-up and our Mitsubishi rental .

[Toymin8r]

Is that a New York Yankees sticker on his truck? 

[bigarms23]

so how did the mitsubisi do wheeling

[Cheesemaker]

Awesome pics man!  I love those third world rigs!    

I bet they would crap their pants if you had your rig down there!!   

[fordh8r]

HA, bad  pics Peps. I'm totally jealous that you could take a trip like that, but just the same I'm glad you had a good time. 





But....I couldn't help but laugh thinking the whole time you went on a wheelig trip in a rental. 




Makes me think of the line, "rentals cars still make the best offroad vehicles".

OMG those trucks are HAWT!!! I want one!! Peps, you shoulda snuck one in your suitcase on your way home I wonder if it'd be legal to import one of those   Matt and I did see a lot of Toyotas but TONS of Mitsubishis in Jamaica... We were fascinated by all the vehicles and how they differ from our vehicles here - so much more efficient in other countries, why can't we follow suit   

[BUDDERS]

I like that BJ70.  I've always wanted one of those.

Tell me you returned that rental back as filthy as it was in those pics!

[iNfErNaL]

so how did the mitsubisi do wheeling

Actually did pretty good man , I was surprised . There was a hill climp that some struggled on and had to try it a few different times , I watched and picked my line and tried it . They thought I'd need to get pulled up and i made it on the first try . Kinda shows you that RockSurfer's sig line is true
