Update to this thread? We chatted a while back, I was going to buy one, kind of fell off and never did. What's new?

I am not and was not aware of that, thanks!!

I'm here!! Waiting on my vehicle (maybe a little over a month)

With the Ironman accessories and you having a D Max, where do you live?

Maputo? I'm here for a while. Will soon have my 03 Tacoma with me. Reply or private message me.

In my own experience in east and west Africa, vehicles that look overtly military (such as your paint scheme and canvas top) do attarct unwanted attention sometimes, especially given the language barriers. This is dependent on the specific areas you are traveling in. Plan carefully. Many groups...

Will be in Mozambique in June 2021 for a long time.

I took a '95 T100 DX to the Middle East for 2 years ('16-'18) and brought it back. It was a great truck. Do the Aisin hub swap in the front, and rebuild them yourself. Parts are still available from Toyota. Swap in the factory CD player from the same year SR5 4Runner to retain the stock look but...

I'm digging that RTT and I bet ARB can make one of those front bumper/mirror mount things and it would be about 1200.00

That's awesome! You always see still photos of these monsters but never get to see video of the inside as someone would live in it. It's always at a trade show or something like that. I love those IKEA folding hooks. I live in a "tiny home" as they say (its really a cabin) and so I'm always...

I have driven the 200 series both armored and stock in a lot of places. I will add that it is a very capable vehicle in stock form, even on technical terrain. It also cruises down the highway at 80mph without vibrating the fillings out of your mouth.

This thread deserves to be a stickie at the top of the recovery forum.

I carried the stock Toyota bottle jack, and the Harbor Freight aluminum floor jack on a DMZ Fab skid. Best two things I've ever used. I had 4 hockey pucks as well that I would use with the floor jack for a little extension if needed.

I had a '95 DX and took it overseas with me. Aftermarket support can be pretty tough. I can send you a CAD drawing for a front skid to replace the plastic one. The company that made mine from aluminum was in NC and was top notch. Aisin hub swap for sure. Parts department at Olathe Toyota in KS...

I've used Midland FRS/GMRS products (to include the Micro Mobiles) in several places abroad to include the Middle East. No issues at all.
