      Dylan Magaster Gladys 2.0 is looking mighty fine my friend! Silly question but, did you just find the turtle skull or the whole turtle? 🙄

    I did the van life for a while, had a 1985 Champion Transvan which is a lil class C motor-home, ran it all over Montana and Wyoming taking lots of photographs in Yellowstone and the Pryor Mountain wild horse refuge, then drove it down to Texas where my adventure abruptly ended when I blew the engine.
    I wound up going back to Trucking for a few years until I bought a sailboat.
    As fun as the van life was I much prefer sailing, I have a 42' sailboat now which has much more room than the van ever could, and it has a full kitchen, and 6'8" of headroom throughout!
    That and the added perk of I can ride the wind to get where I am going! I really like that bit!
    I have been enjoying your videos, keep up the good work!

    Enlightening update, bro. I'm fascinated with the sheer amount of stuff/gear you have fit into Gladys 2.0, haha I know you don't propose to be a minimalist, but dang. Can't wait to join you for the livestream.

    I got my 95 G20 with 063,000 miles and a wheelchair lift also!! metallic green paint, no hightop tho. I have a kx125 2 stroke on the back of mine haha. We are so much alike

    What is cool about having an older van is that you are not worried about modifying and of it, so very easy to make it your place. Enjoying your channel.

  • @iQuantium
    @iQuantium 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Haha thats cool! l like your qwerky style of video. If you ever decide to fix the "cancer hole" use foam to fill it then fiber glass over the foam. You can premake the glass patch or use monofilm tape ( clear packing tape) if you decide to glass it in place. The tape gos over the glass and will make the surface glossy smooth after you remove the tape.

  • @ryanchristie5349
    @ryanchristie5349 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Next time the rust pokes through you could use a brush on rust inhibitor then you can paint over that. I’ve used it in the past and the rust hasn’t come back

    just a heads up - your panels will continue to rust under the bedliner. Next time be sure to spray it with phosphoric acid (OSPHO) before you paint over it to stop the rusting process

    P.S.: Take yourself time man - we appreciate your work for us so much, and although i don't feel a second older than you and live like you part time (if i like to) (and if it is possible, see below), i just realized I have three kids, born 1988, 1991 and 1993, and you seem to me already much more of an adult as they do!
