Just to update this, we're doing a custom steal shower pan behind the driver. Will be about 30x15. It'll be powder coated black and our shower curtain will be in a rail in the ceiling. The curtain will be parked and velcro'd to the wall behind the driver. We'll then have several rows of...

It's a full-height shower that's about 33" long. It won't have a sink or cabinets, but will have a window. We're mounting the shower about 10" back from the driver seat. The area between the driver seat and shower will be lined with rubber and cargo tracks. We'll use this for vertical ski...

Smart cars will hold their own in a crash in so far as you can still open some of the doors. The occupants will be dead from the sudden de-acceleration, though. It's the same with the vanagon - sturdy front end, but that's not what you want. You want a nice and slow deceleration. If you...

I guess my problem isn't feeling fresh, but washing the salt off after grinding it out in the sun riding or climbing. I quickly get chapped ***** if I don't bath with water, but am sweating profusely all day. We just finalized our Sprinter order and our van is coming with a factory coolant...

How come you haven't looked at an SMB based on a Sprinter 4x4 high-roof? Full bath, normal counter height, good enough off-road, lots of storage space with the ceiling cabinets. It's what we're doing. Walk-through design, full-glass windows all around, and the weather protection to exist in...

Could you write up in more detail what you did in the cab, and maybe some photos? I'm keen to see how it turned out and how much work it took. I've ridden in the mil versions, and they're a far cry from a unimog or (insert other offroad 4x4 rig) as far as creature comforts and ergonomics. How...

If you don't mind me asking, what was the approximate cost to convert it from military to civilian (including the paint, etc)? I'm part-time military and have often lusted over a project like this (FMTV + GXV box). We have a deposit down for a Sprinter 4x4 from SMB, but this will likely be the...
