For the three of you loyal followers, you know about the 1977 Land Cruiser that we bought a few months back. It's a sweet machine and we have enjoyed tooling around the area in it.
We recently were put onto a great mechanic in the area, Carlos, and he came out and gave it the once-over. He pronounced it safe, sound and ready to roll (with a bit of envy). After further discussion, we did replace the front brakes with disc brakes (they were drum brakes before) and while the author know little to nothing about internal combustion or anything else about an engine, Carlos was nice enough to explain the steps he was taking en route.
Mechanics in Costa Rica are viewed as the ultimate bad guys, as they know more than the average joe, and will charge according to the (lack of) knowledge of their clientele. Carlos can very highly recommended from some folks that we know, and we were not disappointed.
The brakes are just fine, the steering has been adjusted and the Land Cruiser is ready to roll on the open road.
