mn1_fuckos Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Im on the road a ton so one of my other hobbies is taking photos of cars. The photos aren't always good but they're always great to share with other car nerds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Split windshield VW buses are the most desired. VW buses with a single convex wind shield are undesirable and are playfully called “fat chicks” by VW enthusiasts... ...because there are a million of em and no one wants em.

Overlanding - https://overlandjournal.com/what-is-overlanding/ and https://www.onallcylinders.com/2018/07/12/overlanding-101-what-it-is-and-how-to-get-started/ Thinking @6Penniescan share a bit on the subject. I was briefly involved in this scene, I went to two local club meetings and realized its just glamping for mid life crisis fucks with more money than me, who think putting their $60k builds onto a gravel road with washboard is four-wheeling. Dudes are running HAM radios to coordinate convoys of 20 vehicles that just clog up real trailheads. REAL Overlanding is fucking sweet, what we are seeing in the states with roof top tents and max-trax on top of 4runners and wranglers is not that. Vans fucking rule. I drive by this place pretty often, would definitely purchase if I won the lottery. http://www.ujointoffroad.com/ there are tons more builds on their website, but this is so fucking sick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I have no idea what this thing was, but I knew it belonged in this thread so I had my gf snap photos of it while I was driving. The bottom picture is just a stretched hummer, not really some survival shit. This black thing though, it looked really cool. It was an escalade that looked stretched and maybe even armored. It's hard to tell but on top of it, it had a flat/domed circular disk mounted on the rack. I think it's some sort of electronic equipment, but I'm not sure. I don't think a govt vehicle would use wheels like this thing had, so I have no idea what it was. Looked super cool though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 @KILZ FILLZI doubt it, that thing looks like it actually gets used. Total assumption, I'd bet that belongs to surf, snow, bike, or climbing bums, not glampers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 There is a sick hiace on my local CL that I would buy (again if I won the lottery). An old neighbor had one and it was so boss for camping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Damn. I can’t imagine many of those hit the states w 4wd. @Fist 666 boxy angular 80/90s auto design was the pinnacle. im down with wagons being peppered into this thread. I have a Honda wagon. Get my balls busted here and there but storage of van/suv with wheel base and chassis of sedan is great. And Honda bulletproofizm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s mobile satellite. Not as common as it used to be since content is usually streamed over cellular but you still see it on vehicles that go out of range often enough to qualify the expense of it. Though I bet it’s fairly cheap these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 That build is epic, @misteraven. Anyone unfamiliar should look up the gambler 500. It's a "race" that restores a little bit of faith in humanity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That car @misteravenposted on the last page reminded me of this: I got to talk to the owner of this car at Circuit of the Americas. He said they use it for f'ing around and it does go out into the bush for hunting. The platform on top is tied into the roll cage bars, there are holes going through the roof of the car so this can happen. He said they put deer on top of it, and it carries a spare. I know, guys this isn't a van, but damn it's cool. https://www.kellymoss.com/projects/safari/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Was off grid when this thread started, saw some fitting shit I wish I had taken pix of. Every time I go I see at least one of these expedition type vehicles, seems a bit oversized. Recently saw some A-Team and Mystery Machine paint jobs. As a kid vans always seemed cool because of shit like the A-Team. In high school I had associates whose folks were bikers and they would take their dad's van out on weekend nights and we would cruise through the city and cause trouble, oblivious to how suspicious we appeared. Much as I remember it had a bench seat down one side and there was like a living room chair or something in there. There was always a mini bat under the bench with some crimson stains on it lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 ^^That thing is cool..... but I just feel like you're not going to get it into any "super cool" place anyway. It's too big to be maneuvered through tight spots. Although, for being an RV that can go off road, I bet it's awesome. I just don't see it going to any super remote areas. Of course, that might be why they have a dirt bike on there. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn1_fuckos Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Did you guys ever hear about the wild Cherry Van? Check out the article linked below. It was "abandoned" by a couple and "found" by someone who became infatuated by the van and he ended up locating it and trailering it back home to restore it. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2018/09/28/wild-cherry-chevy-van-from-van-nuys-blvd 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn1_fuckos Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I just happened to be following this dude on IG before he happened to find the van. It was pretty crazy watchin that unfold and how everything turned out. He ended up keepin the van in the end. Either way here's a photo of a sweet subaru van I saw while visiting montana. Almost 2 years ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
