Our New Baby


Here she is! This wonderful contraption is what took us to the beach, and other places since then. Around the beginning of December we seriously started contemplating buying our own personal vehicle, due to our growing family and the amount of travel we have in the next few months. Plus, we hope to see more of Nicaragua, and several hours by bus can be, shall we say, a bit tedious with 3 little ones? So we bought this the week before we went to the beach, and we are quite happy with her.

This is something you will hardly see in the States, like many of the vehicles here.

Okay, all you car enthusiasts...can any one guess what it is? (and you have to say more than "Toyota")

Specs to follow later...

since I owned one of these in Honduras, I should know the answer...obviously a Toyota Landcruiser Hard Top Jeep, Diesel, shortie with probably two facing short benches in back just like mine. Mine was an '81 and this one appears to be newer...I'd put it in the '82-'85 range perhaps. Not a lot newer than mine but newer. You don't have the flag holders that mine had. Can't tell since it's been fixed up better than mine...with what appear to be new turn signals on the front, new exterior mirrors, non-spec bumper guard, and that goofy Toyota hood ornament was not put on there by anyone concerned about original appearance! LOVE THIS TRUCK! Best diesel motors ever made, perhaps. You probably get 20-25 mpg. I presume these were all 4wd as well. Interior pics?!?
