Nah, not at all. Soon I'll start posting in spanish :rolling:

It was a good trip. This is up in the mountains on what is called "Cordillera Central", which devides the country in two fom east to west. This is on the north side on Colon Province, a little community called Nueva Sevilla, about two hurs from Colon City. To ilustrate, the Panama Canal goes from south to north, starting in Panama City (Pacific side) to Colon City (Atlantic side). Hope that ilustrates a bit...

A couple of vids from our last trip. We were taking donations to a communitty up in the Cordillera Central.
Up there there is a geological marking that dates back to 1947, marking this point as the center of narrowest point inthe American continent;actually, one can see both oceans (Atlantic and Pacific) from that point. Too bad it was cloudy and foggy that day... Hope you like them.

Welcome Jose

Very nice Patrol and Video, those tyres are huge!!!!

I am not sure I like that much lift, looks nice on that Patrol but I think the 50mm lift is enough for me.

Regards

The lift is not so bad. It still handles ok, since the suspension I made up worked alright, but you know how it is: Harder trails = larger tires, and there it all starts...
