Just my 2 cents but it's sounds like fun, good luck. I'll be checking out your trip from time to time.

Plus you have to remember that you are telling EVERYONE your detailed plans and times when you will be passing through a area. I have a friend who's parents have a home in Belize. They have drove a few times, and both times have been hassled my the Mexican police, or what ever they are called. They had to pay some serious money to be able to carry on their trip. Just be prepared for anything, and remember your life doesn't mean **** to anyone that wants your jeep or your belongings.

Good Luck.

Just make sure you know exacty what your getting yourself into.
I hope you and your buddys were'nt just sitting around the Cedar tree smoking the "patolie oil" when you thought of this.
That being said, I will be following your journey. I wish you luck and safe travels.

He is from Calgary .... not one of those "patolie oil" guys ..

Being that his TJ is a 2000 model, there's a pretty good chance he won't have use for anything but the plugs.
