Hello from Nottinghamshire

I don't see why not. As long as the frame is rigid enough. Depends how you build it. But if you are putting a roof tent on it a steel framed structure triangulated at key points should be up to the task. I guess it depends on your use. https://compactcampingstore.com/collections/diy-manuals

Photos of the axle. Feel free to ask questions.

Depends how hard you offroad I guess. A trailer tent chassis is not really up to it. There would be way too much twist on the frame. I have a well built dutch one here and it flexes quite a lot. II was going to build my own based on a small military trailer axle which originally carried a...

Hello Jake. Hopefully we will see you at a future meet.

Hi Andy. Welcome to the group. I am sure you will find a host of information and help from the Land Rover guys on here.

Hello Roy, Nice to see another UK based member. I look forward to your input on Facebook and the Western Europe forum.

#17317 requesting the upgrade. Received my emblem today thanks very much [emoji108]

Until this van has the basic conversion done excursions will wait. That said, after a discussion with the wife we want it road legal with basic gear in ready for AO. Sometimes a target is all you need to kick it off.

We do indeed. Ours is a compromise between comfort and offroad ability. Chances are we will rarely do anything particularly extreme though the vans are capable enough.

My old man and a friend had Discos of varying ages. Designed to rot and unprotected from it too. My Skoda pickup had better sealant application [emoji23] But each to their own. I think I just like the room a van offers over a 4x4.

If I escape the domestic life I will trg and find you. Can't camp yet as the van is in pieces for the roof cut.

This show has been on my radar for a few years with fellow VW owners. Used to be Summer only which always falls when I am elsewhere but now there is a Spring event - April 28-29th. Anyone else been/going?

What is Hannes surname? I may already know him as a fellow Syncro owner.

Is this a 2wd or a Syncro?

Lots of custom design and fabrication in the offing. Years of overlanding and frustration with the limits of equipment and freedom of design in Europe. The US and Australian markets have so much to offer so I will be taking inspiration from there.

I just joined up and am interested to say hello to other UK based OB contributors. Not managed to get my pin on the map yet but I live and work in the heart of Sherwood Forest. I have owned various offroaders and 4x4s in the past but we are firm fans of the VW T3 and T4 Syncro models. With...

Hello from a fellow Syncro owner. I have followed your travels elsewhere. Nice to find you on here.

Thanks for the welcome [emoji1690]

Hello from a new UK member. I have been a serial offroader and 4x4 owner for the last 2 decades. Previous rides have included Isuzu Trooper, Mercedes G230 LWB, VW T3 Syncro Doka, VW T3 Westfalia and a few lifted VW New Beetles. Currently we own a VW T3 Syncro and a VW T4 Syncro LWB. I am also...
