Maybe a more production-level version of the Van Compass 1-off (and a bit more 'tame') IMO - Gotta loose that giant underbite bumper on the Quigley.

^^ that's super cool! Looks like the OP hasn't been around these parts for a couple years though...

I was in a similar situation, though my Syncro wasn't as nice as yours! (but it was a Wolfsburg Weekender with poptop, so additional bed space up top, and we have two boys that keeps the bed sharing a little less awkward) Two boys that grew up camping in a Vanagon, and were growing fast...

We completed a New Years Eve trip to Utah with the whole family in tow (kids - 22 & 15, wife, dog (Boston Terrier) and myself. Our plan was to get to Beef Basin, southwest of Moab near Canyonlands national park, and spend a few days exploring ruins. Well, a storm that hit the area a few days...

Welcome to Boulder! (I live in Louisville) Must be culture shock if you came from one of the poorest counties in Ohio! Vanagons are beautiful and fickle beasts. They are tough as nails in some regards, and fragile as your grandmas china in others (that Syncro tranny is $cary). I know there...

^^ yup 6 cyl turbo diesel. Tuned with RENNtech as well.

Someone above mentioned 33's on an AWD Transit. I'm not sure you can fit a tire that big without cutting metal. One of the limitations that would hinder the offroady-ness... 31"s should go easy, 32"s (?not sure) As far as MPG - I've read the same thing with the ecoboost, that is that they...

Good job wearing your shop tee's through most of that 900hrs!

Lots of views and a sweet camp looking west into Utah and the La Sals. French Toast (Roughing it!)

Ran the Rim Rocker trail last week (East to West). Wife, 14yr old son + one of his friends, and our Boston on board. Arrived in Montrose CO late Wed night, camped near the trail head and then toured the trail for the next 2 days. We cut into the La Sals instead of completing the last section...

^^ And how are you (peterholcombe) dealing with ULSD in Central America?

Cheese curds, fish fry, New Glarus, and Sprecher?

Love the color scheme!! Now, get the F*#% outta Quebec for a while!!

The Delica build is sick. Small spaces are much more difficult than the cavernous interior of a Sprinter/Transit. How are the side curtains mounted? I see some slides at the top/bottom of the window... is that some OTS system? Seats look great too. fun fact - I had the very first...

Yup! still have it (and likely will for a long time) And my 'kids' still sleep in the penthouse. They are 21 and 14 and both man-sized. The extra space is welcomed. Like DoKarider16 above, we discussed the merits of both hightop and pop-top a LOT before ordering our van. Like I mentioned...
