Safari all the cars! A car thing so stupid its kinda neat, except for a snorkel, because that shit is fucking stupid.

[riser4]

As said before, snorkel makes sense in some places one might not expect.

[AdironRider]

No, they really don't, certainly not on a Mini.

[riser4]

Sandy environments. Road rally. Rallying a mini is a thing.

I have clients whose main goal for buying property is that it has a large 3+ car garage so their unemployed 28+ y/o son can build custom vans, which he has zero skills even doing. But it is Boulder so I'm sure he'll find some bro bruhs to buy one from him.

There is a Boulder van company that converted a neighbors sprinter. The whole crew went to Mexico for fun in the middle of the build. Neighbor said they don't didn't how to bolt anything correctly to the body or frame, as my neighbor was told by an engineer that corrosion was starting from the day she picked it up due to their technique. It's a long drive from SLC for her to get it all fixed, that's the main issue on getting it redone with the warranty. Buyer beware these days on conversion companies.

Air filters are a thing.

Not a snorkel in sight.

These guys know what they are doing, better than pretty much anyone else out there. Snorkels are all show and no go.

I like how snorkels look, in addition to their utility. I agree it is silly on a car that only goes shopping. However, for a vehicle that actually goes off-road, lighten up Francis.

Lol yeah. I cringe at what I see in van conversions. If your neighbor cares about corrosion, suggest removing the front door panels. I’ve seen brand new Sprinters with corrosion there straight from factory.

It won't let me embed the video, which I downloaded, but here you go. This definitely needs to be on every overlander's shopping list.

Love the comments where they are like "I just want a knife and have to set up an entire dining room and kitchen to get to it."

[dunfree]

All that for a single burner?

Or a GD show on way too much... stuff... Or that's what a friend told me.

More GOTOS - Metolius River at Canyon Creek.

I do like the frame pickup bed "toppers" for ease of attaching stuff as needed.




I score eight points, including the side boxes. Although if they are camping in the area, I can see scoring only one point - for the traction plates. Yes, it's a mile of dirt road to get there. OTOH, travel trailers and my Outback make it just fine.

Speaking of camping. Saw this gem again at the Metolius hatchery lot yesterday. It's lost half of its roof boxes & jerry cans, as well as the axe, but the spade and flat-blade shovels are still attached.



The driver was a woman, wearing chest waders, and looked reasonably hot from a distance. Didn't get a chance for an IRL meet. Will try to rectify that...

[riser4]

Ask her if she likes to watch space gladiator movies.

A casual Saturday afternoon in Seward, Ak would assert supreme and godlike dominance of this thread, but I currently lack the weekenders and the lte upload patience.

Everyone with a heavily-embellished vehicle aspires to conquer The Great Land - to eat our animals and drink our beer, and see majestic møøse and caribou scatter before their hood ornaments like the rabbits and small byrds of their homelands.... Isn't it time you considered a vacation in Alaska? The mountains, the muskegs... It's better than a picatinny rail on a tailgate!

You forgot overgrown fairways, bruised jackfruit, and the lack of a really world-class nail salon.

Axe still present - mounted across back.

I’d like to see a picture of the creature you mention. That may be surplus points if she is suitably hot and unaccompanied.

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

That’s a photo from my first encounter three weeks ago, not what I saw yesterday.

not GOTOS by any means but there is a brand new lifted sprinter with a sweet sleeping setup parked in the parking lot... of the marriott
