Whatever happened to Hadaken? His conversions ruled, even with the one getting trashed. Did nu-nukinja drive him off?

Please, stop feeding my cravings. PLEASE!

In addition to searching for an 04 Disco in the classifieds, I've started to look at quad-cab Tacos for overland conversion possibilities. This van just makes it even worse.

I don't need a divorce.

Oh, the van you posted is made by these guys: http://www.sportsmobile.com/4_4x4sports.ht… . And it's a camper van! RAISE THE ROOF! Now that's camping with style.

You'll need a divorce and to sell your house to buy a sportsmobile, so don't even think about it.

Hadaken was an old-time Oppoite, who owned two Cummins'ed E-series vans. He got COTD/partial COTD three times:

He's been around less of late, it seems, but on checking, doesn't appear to be gone as such:

A lot of his cooler posts were wiped out in the transition, I think.

Arctic trucks conversions?

They specialize in Toyota's don't they. These Icelandic lifted vans and suv's go by the common name of super jeep. There are probably quite a few companies that build these in Iceland.

I've been deuces a lot lately. I cannot believe how cheap these things are to buy. Seriously debating between one of these and a motorcycle...

I've got a serious thing for dueces. One day I will own one.

$6,000 gets you a decent one - $10,000 gets you a nice one. They are probably a bit harder to find out west though.

They're not exactly vans but there's a company called Earthroamer that makes some pretty cool F-Series conversions

Big earthroamer fan, I like their take on self sustained and survivability. Also a favorite, earth cruiser
