    Do you think importing a Toyota is the best way around the affordable 4x4 diesel option? How would you do it?

    • @thekitchenchikens
      @thekitchenchikens 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dylan Magaster maybe in an auction of vehicles from the army? I don't know really, I ve been looking one for me but it s kind of hard, you can find modified models but that kind of mess the center of gravity of the van. I live in europe so importing a van from japan does not seems afordable to me, maybe it's a good option in the us.

      I guess it depends on where you live!
      And those Toyota are stabel, easy to maintain and they need little care....
      Checking the Oil ....and they will last you a long time :)--> In NZ i`ve seen Hiace with a mileage up to 450 000 km / 2,8 m miles and they are still running pretty great!!!

      This question has been racking my brain for a long while now as we're planning to get a 4x4 capable van for South America. At this point I'm optimistically banking that in 2 years Tesla's electric cargo vans they plan to replace their Sprinter fleet with will be hopefully available for the public! Figure out a way to engineer generator, solar, and possibly even wind power to charge that massive battery and BOOM! AWD on a fully electric van! Everything is possible. It's just a matter of how soon at this point :)

      I have a Mitsubishi Delica 4wd Diesel van with low range. Planning on running it on used veggie oil and travelling around the world. I'm sure one day we will meet. Great videos, I like the sliding bed into coach configuartion, will be using a similar design.

    This guy is super talented. I have looked at a thousand van videos and his interior creation and craftsmanship deserves to be shared commercially. I have a 2017 4Runner that I would pay for this guy to outfit for me. The limited interior space makes it tricky to pack for off trail/van life... best video yet!

    • @SlowRoamers
      @SlowRoamers 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      thanks for the kind words! I'll be building a new one in a few months, you might want to tune in. pics will be up on IG

  • @isaacjames7410
    @isaacjames7410 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is my favorite design of all of the van builds I've seen. I'm gunna be using this for inspiration when I start to map out my own. So fire.

  • @antonydavid2953
    @antonydavid2953 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    A great build, very inspiring for folks in southern Africa where a Hi Ace is probably the most common vehicle, used as a taxi, delivery vehicle, school bus. I haven’t seen any converted into a camper.

    I love all you videos Dylan. This one in particular because I love these vans. I currently own a 2002 Eurovan - I need to check your channel to see if you've showcased anyone adventuring in one. Thanks for all the great work you do!

  • @mountainconstructions

    As a Van owner for 28 years and a Hiace owner from 15 years, this a great build.

  • @Raquel6470
    @Raquel6470 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love this van! It’s amazing what you’ve done to it! It’s so so stealth!!!! Nicely packed and especially love the outdoor/indoor kitchen! Only thing I have to have to have.....is the ability to stand up. I’ll take that over a toilet or shower! Be careful tho. Your young now and don’t feel it right away. But the constant stopping and bending can strain ur back and cause issues in the future. Thanks for sharing!

    Right on Dylan! I enjoyed this video and it gave me some ideas for the Tacoma truck topper build I'm doing at the present moment. Planning to hit the road for the tip of S America in two years so in the meantime I'll be dialing in my 4x4 truck. Been on the road since July 2015 and couldn't imagine living life any other way. Cheers and thanks for the great video! - Brian

    I have the Hiace Commuter(High roof). It's a diesel 2.8 litre. They are commonly used here in Australia as taxis(airport shuttles &wheelchair access) . It's done over a million kilometres! Best vans ever. Judging by the fact you called it a hi-archy I'm guessing these aren't common in the US/Canada?? They are certainly common everywhere else

    I was actually just looking at vehicles I owned back in the high-school days and one of my favorites was my 88 vanwagon 4cyl gas push button 4wd. My lady has always been a big fan of the vw microbus and I happened across your build. We love it! It would be so great to find another one and do something like you have here. Very cool!
