Who's van is this?

Post by T.Low »

Just curious about putting a screen name to this van and hearing about the mods. The names on the caption don't look familiar to me. It looks sweet and looks similar to the path I'm on with my van. Tried looking thru the members forums but couldn't find anything. Link anyone? Thanks.

well Logan is the one that took that picture it was at a NECO in PA. That van is Sandfly's van. He hasn't posted much on here.

In the first pic, Bob, sandfly, is on the left and me and my van are on the right! :supz:

His van is setup with Overland's 5" lift, 31" tires and a hopped up 4.3 V6. The interior is setup for surf fishing and camping out for a couple days.

You probably didn't notice ,but in the 1st pic you can see the very unique screen (as in bugs) for his door.
They are metal framed and fit both front door windows.They are held in by the pressure of the window rolled up against it.
Pretty neat idea :supz:

he's also got a large metal basket that attaches to the front for carrying all his gear & has rod holders attached to the front of the basket , its a pretty cool set up .
