Bigger tires, stiffer springs and bigger antisway bar? I know these upgrades make a world of difference on a vanagon. The sway bar however is detrimental to offroad performance.I drove the medium roof extensively. Wasn’t too bad but when it’s windy it makes your asshole clench. It blows the car all over the road
Been following this guy on Youtube. He bought an older, Ford Econoline van and did a 4XD conversion to it. A base platform, he's building it out as he goes. Very cool.

I agree. i used to think that I didn't like the idea of the Pop top because of lost stealth factor and possible break factor ...ahhh, I see
I really like this pop top option
the high transit roof is too much - not sure if I could swing a medium
the pop top concept seems to be a good way to keep it sleek on the road
and roomy for living...I guess it kind of makes it hard to go stealth mode
while being able to stand up inside.
It does. Unless you're referring to the psychedelic drug.i alwasy thought LSD means limited slip diff
We did the suspension, but I didn't add the rear sway bar. Wanted the clearance and didn't want to be under the van anymore. Drove through some 40 mph side gusts last week through Utah. Both hands on the wheel. Nerve wracking. Not sure the westy would have fared any better.Bigger tires, stiffer springs and bigger antisway bar?

Picked up a ‘20 AWD 148 midroof in March and had Suha Designs in Oceanside build the interior. Completely self contained and powered, pretty much a second home. Now waiting for Van Compass to ship their new AWD lift kitView attachment 94166View attachment 94167View attachment 94168View attachment 94169View attachment 94170
I was never a big fan of the adventure wagon. Just an aesthetic thing for me. My first vanagon was a Syncro. This was a long time ago and before the #vanlife craze. I bought it for $4000. It had 250,000 miles on it, or as I liked to say- a quarter million miles. I sold it for $5500 a few years later when my mechanic, after replacing a fuel filler hose, told me, "This was the last of this part in North America. They didn't send many of these over and there are not a lot of parts for them." Still, I wonder how much that van is worth now?
This was the last Westy I had before we left California. An 87 Syncro with locking rear differential, driveshaft decoupler adn an Adventurewagen high roof and a rear facing jump seat. I looooooooved being able to stand up in that thing and still have all the Westy room/layout. I never, ever, never should have sold this thing. I'd also added a higher HP motor. My wife and I trekked all over America in this thing. I think I sold it in 05 for like $30k. Today it'd be worth probably 65.
I like how much detail they put into naming the characters. "Brendan"I like the sleeker form factor on that mercedes
