Toyota power
Hi Buddy
Well this is my story 13 months 37000 kms katmandu and back a few punctures and no real breakdowns.
I think you need to learn how to prevent problems rather than how to cure them because you cant carry enough spare parts and tools with you, ie headgasket goes have you ggot the tools and knowledge...maybe not. A rear differential crown wheel turns for the last time what do you do then. So my approach was... learn how to check fluid levels everyday as this will point towards problems arrissing, ie if your water levels are low or oil levels it gives you an idea before the expensive brek down.
I did the trip in a 1994 Toyota 3ltr tdi Surf bought on the internet from Japan it cost 3800 pounds i gave it a good service before i left and it was fantastic...toyotas are found everywhere in the world, when i got home i could have sold the truck for 2000 pounds so that make cheap motoring.
If i can help anymore. tntgoeast@hotmail.com or goggle tntgoeast and read our blog. Later tim
