Mikhaela and I are building an "adventure van." The goal of the project is to have a vehicle that can take us anywhere and that we can live for long periods of time out of. When completed the van will be able to sleep four adults, have a full kitchen with fridge and stove, be a very capable offroad vehicle and have ample storage for all of our outdoor gear.

We have lifted the suspension, trimmed and pounded out the wheel wells to fit large tires and fitted 30" A/T tires. We have also built a platform so that we can sleep in the back of it and use the van for small adventures.

After a transmission failure in Idaho we pulled a used trany from a junkyard and replaced our broken trans on the side of the road. 

This last summer we built a custom high top from scratch cutting a hole in the roof. This allows us to have a sleeping loft and to be able to stand up and cook on the inside of the van. We built the top out of fiberglass and plywood with a timber frame. It is coated in truck bed liner for durability and is insulated to r13.

Next steps will be welding a custom front winch/bumper and building out shelving on the interior.
