Cripe. Now whadja have to go and do that for?? Now I'm not going to get anything done this weekend...

Your THIRTY-SIXTH VW?? Man, that's an affliction. Like anybody else with a pulse, I'd love to have a Synchro Westy. And TDI to boot!! Nice work!!

Argh! It's so aggravating that we can't get this truck in the US... Post up your experiences with your Ranger!

4WD Westy Sprinter!! Christian, You've discovered my dream too. I have a "NAFTA James Cook", as they are sometimes referred to here in the US. They were imported by Airstream, not Winnebago. I have mulled over converting mine to 4WD, now that John at Upscale Auto has a kit for doing so. Not...

That's some truck!! The FLIR camera is over the top! Very impressive!

Not sure just how limited your budget is, but I would pursue looking for a used Espar instead of a wood-fired coolant loop. They seem to be pretty common in Dodge Sprinters; maybe you can find a salvaged one... The idea of connecting and disconnecting a coolant loop, and figuring out what to do...

That one's for sale, on Samba... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1289515

This is so cool. I'm loving how you just dive in and do it. Me, I'd still be stuck in "thinking about it " stage... That baby is going to be some kind of loud, though, with the engine behind you, and the track bolts slapping the drive sprocket. Just like the original!

Coming along nicely! When's the big trip??

Paul, I PM'd you.

Bob, been trying to reach you... check PM. Pat

The lighting looks great! Where did you source your components? I want to replace the halogen pucks in my rig with LED drop-ins, but didn't know about the dimming capability. Are you happy with the "color" of the lighting? I want something on the "warm" side, similar to the halogen light...

Looks promising. I like the removable box, and the resulting utility bed....

Arcteryx fit? PM'd you

As a Suzuki Samurai driver, I'd love to have one of these; they embody what I value most: simple, cheap, and rugged.

Paul and Mike, I'm digging the build, but seeing Mike lounging on the bench made me remember something; don't forget to factor in the thickness of the cushions when testing the bench. A few inches of cushion may make the finished bench feel a bit shallower than the bare test bench... Other...

That's crazy talk, Mark!! Then again... ...you MIGHT be right.

Now you're gonna hate me; 734. As your buddy would say, "D***! That's pretty spacious compared to the 627". I love teardrops; that would be my choice in a trailer. In fact, I'm trying to get my former-submariner buddy to get one, instead of a RTT.

Day-yum! That first video is crazy. Nothing like getting stuck in the middle of the river, waiting for a log to slam into the side of your bus...

I always love these rant threads, which is really what this is. I understand; my temper would be high after almost getting creamed by something big. Frankly, I love how some people can justify that whatever THEY consume is an acceptable level, but anything above that is excessive. One night...
