There is something about stuffing a solid axle under a van and then lifting it that makes it the coolest thing on the road. Always. Like the most f’d up example is still cool and you want it. So when you see one like this, that looks ready to take on the world, it’s hard not to want to park it in your driveway. Or better yet on a trail somewhere in the middle of nowhere!
And because this van started out it’s life working for the City of LA as a search and rescue emergency communications rig, it has all kinds of coolness going on. It has roof air, a custom walk on roof rack, awning, H2 wheels, 35 inch tires, and much more. We want it.
