2017 Sprinter 4x4 144"

[Overland California]

My mods are done, and i knew my target weight pretty much. I carry 3 or 4 snatch blocks, and all the gear to use them most of the time when i go out and may do dumb stuff. I ALWAYS have at least one, a winch extension, couple tree straps and stuff to get out of typical stuck. Im not all that worried about it.

That's good preparedness right there!

This year, I decided to hit up the Smokey Mountain Overland Rally, because awesome people really. Rain kinda screwed up the drive up and delayed me a bit, so I wasn't able to go as far west as I wanted, to see some family, due to time constraints. But that didn't kill all they day. Found out that a sprinter builder named Site Seven (https://www.facebook.com/sitesevencampers/). The guys there were super cool, and were putting out killer vans. The trim work was awesome.

After that I wanted to go check out my brobros at CVT! I have been using their shower tent for a while, and is hands down the best thing ever known to man.
My friend Blake was getting a new tent and awning, so I figured id show up and slow them down a bit.

Hard to see in the photos what you insulated the Flarespace panels with. What did you use and how did it work out?

Really nice job on this whole van.

Are those stock 16" wheels and tires? Still trying to figure out what bigger diameter tires will fit and there is a lot of conflicting information out there.

This is an awesome build. Love how you used the shiplash for the interior paneling.
