So, I learned a fun fact about my engine today. Apparently the airbox intake is only a foot or so above the ground, good thing is it wasn't my engine that took a drink! Someone was driving through a flooded road to get home and a wave from a passing car splashed up above the headlights and the...
I have some Sterilite foot lockers from Wal Mart. They have 2 latches on them plus a padlock hole. With a little bit of weatherstripping they’re good to go. I had 2 on the roof in the pic but can hold 3 in total. Great buy for $20each
So the trip was cancelled a day early with extreme bad weather, rain, so much rain. I didn't get a shot but there was almost 100 gallons of water in the boat the first morning. It rained 10 minutes after we went to bed and didn't let up till 6am, then 7:40 all hell broke loose again so we called...
I was going to make a lexan fairing and put the light behind that but was worried about how the light would refract through it. Originally I had a light bar in place of the fairing but the wind noise was unbearable.

Finally got the light bar installed tonight, interior wiring mostly done and switch installed in the overhead compartment. Ran out of sunlight before I could finish. More photos tomorrow.
Ok, let's get it out in the open, YES its a minivan, YES its 2wd, & YES people think this is crazy, but yet here it is. For years others have built 2wd full-size vans for overlanding, some even converting to 4wd (Sportsmobile, etc.,) and building some of the most capable rigs on the planet out...
Hello everybody, and thanks again to the admins for letting me join! I'm from Ontario, Canada, east of Toronto and am currently building a Dodge Grand Caravan for Overlanding. It's not the typical rig you would expect to see on a forum like this but for what I want to do, this platform works...
