It’s kinda random chance that I picked one up years ago, as a kind of adventure vehicle. Life got in the way and that never came to fruition. I’ve been chasing gremlins and trying, half-assedly, to get it running again for the last couple of years.
Now, I’m gonna be driving it to South America to collect cannabis seeds, so I need it working 100% and I need it built up for a 15km overland journey. I’ve found some different mechanics. I’m gonna have different people work on different things; I can’t find one person that would be ideal to do it all. It’s gonna be a sweet rig, fully built–winch, arb bumpers, lighting, spring over axle lift. I’ve already lived out of it before for a few months. This is gonna be rough, though. It’s not exactly ‘van dwelling’.
