    Check out Alex and Megan's incredibly rugged DIY Built 2WD Chevy Express Van! They are on the 3rd version of Betty the Van, with Alex welding up the bumpers, roof rack and storage solutions + an epic Raptor Liner paint job! On the interior, not only is the woodworking gorgeous and functional, but the hardwoods found within the build are actually from his parents property! So sit back, enjoy and take some notes, this is one of the best tours we've had on the channel in a while!

    I have a 1994 Ford E150 van converted, and I feel the same way (perhaps having learned to drive in the old days of 2WRD, no ABS & manual shifting). It will go anywhere that matters.

    Just a chuckle. My family ran fly in camps in northern Quebec. We hauled supplies in by snowmobile and 4x4 when and where possible. We knew to get good and stuck you need 4x4.
    I would agree that 95% of the time an 2wheel drive with some ground clearance and decent tires will get you almost anywhere. Happy trails!

    Sensible choice for a van, and a good option for me being on a budget. Did REE physically build your system? What does something like that cost?

      Hey, Alex installed the system himself :)

    never ever ever ever take a 2wd to the beach... i work as a guide for 4x4 tours on a beach and see tows x25 a day... most get stuck in the first 100 yards. the tow is $700 off the beach too

      Check out their channel, it’s incredible where they take their van with the know how to air down, understanding of terrain etc. but without Alex’s knowledge, 4x4 is definitely a good idea haha
