@@huevoneousmaximus2309 There are many factors that play into cost depending on if you buy a used or rebuilt engine, which conversion kit you decide, etc… but my conversion was roughly ~$8k doing it myself. Give or take a bit because I ended up doing a lot more work while the engine was out :)

@@johnmelville1903 Hey John! Those are 16” Mefro steelies. They unfortunately are discontinued, but I believe Gowesty sells a similar wheel in 15”

Hey there! You need full wire harness and ECU (under the foot plate of passenger seat). What you choose to keep from there is up to you!

Thanks Modesty! Yes sir, loving that camera so far. I recorded the audio of this into a Zoom Podtrak P4, and then synced up the microphone audio with the camera's audio in Davinci Resolve (editing software). Thanks for following along!

Well dang, that’s a bummer! Not exactly sure what would be causing that. Mine has been fine since replacing it in this video.

Yes - bleeding the system is definitely a necessary step after replacing the slave cylinder. You can watch other videos about the general bleeding procedure, but it’s just a matter of pumping the clutch a bunch of times while allowing any air to get out of the system/lines!

Much love Paul! We’re grateful this convo could happen. We definitely aren’t taking Denver off our potential home list! 🤔

So cool, love to hear it! Traveling in a Westy definitely provides a special spark for creative work. Thanks for following along!

It was a long process getting everything prepared, but it’s been an awesome journey so far! More videos coming soon.

Please bring Chug out to CO or some western state and we’ll make it a darn good time car camping!! Heck, we could fit multiple cars in one camp site 😁 Don’t forget your skis!

There’s always going to be those projects that don’t go quite as easy! It’s always a bit more difficult when vans sit around for a long time. Best of luck getting it swapped out and back on the road. Sounds like you’ve got it figured out! 😁

@@BluffCoast Both Bus Depot and J Bugs shipped parts quickly, rear brake circuit 90% done, and working on Front brake circuit ! Then clutch line. FWIW. Hope welder works in driveway (voltage drop), then gas tank and coolant lines in and back on the ground - could be today 7/30/23.

Yewww!!!

Thanks brother!! We will definitely have to meet at an event or maybe our paths will cross in our travels! Gotta get these blue vans with steelies together 😉

Thanks so much for listening Kevin!! I’m sure the van will bring many more good memories and learning experiences to you both. They’re truly special in that way! 😁 So great to meet other Vanagon owner believers! I’m learning there are more of us than I realized, and it’s an amazing place to be a light! Thanks for the encouragement!

The 28-70 sounds amazing. And it’s definitely my plan to add a 70-200 to the quiver eventually!! Probably my favorite lens - they’re so good! That bokeh 😍

Hahaha thanks dude! I should have known, hopefully didn’t do too much damage 😁

Probably should have known better 😅thanks for letting me know!! Thanks for watching!

Man!! This means a lot, thank you Devin! It’s a continuous battle but I couldn’t be more excited to keep it up! Stoked to follow your journey as well, you’re on track for some amazing things. We’ll keep in touch as we grow together 🤛

Yes sir!! You know what’s up! I’m not letting this 1-2 year break happen again 🤣

Haha I feel that pain! Thanks man, appreciate the love! 🤙

Glad you could benefit from it! Happy to help.

Definitely can be so overwhelming sometimes… but I’m feeling like I’m finally finding clarity on which projects to focus on!

It’s all about that bedroom bean bag chair studio setup 😉

It’s always a tough battle! Thanks Dillon, I’m stoked to make it happen 😏

It was a hidden gem for sure! Let’s just say it’s in Iowa… but an undisclosed location 😉

Thanks for following along! The swap is complete... just getting around to editing all the videos and keeping up with it :)

Hey Garrett!! I had my wiring harness done at Autoventures in Wisconsin. They turn your entire wiring harness into a plug-and-play harness for the swap! And the conversion kit I used was the Rocky Mountain Westy/VanCafe kit for the rest of the swap.

Hahah thanks man! I tried to make it a priority to capture everything throughout this process. Definitely wasn't easy to document it all - but it's totally worth it!

I paid $3500 for this van at the time!

@@BluffCoast not cheap, folk are crazy for these vehicles

@@chancesareshewears It's a crazy market sometimes. I overpaid for this one a bit... but that's how it goes sometimes :)

No - this is a different van than the one from the "Bummer" series. I had that 84 Tintop for a while, but this is my 87 Westy that I've owned for longer! That song is too funny, thanks for sharing! 🤣

​@@BluffCoast Ah, I see! I look forward to the updates on your travels!🤙🤙 And that Vanagon song cracks me up every time. It should be your intro. lol

@@jamie-r2034 Thanks for following along!! More content is definitely on the way 😎🤙

There's more coming your way man! We used the Rocky Mountain Westy/Van Cafe kit. Pretty beginner friendly kit!

We definitely would love to make it out that way - but just aren't sure when. What city would you recommend having as a homebase for a trip if we took one?

So happy to have you following along Rino!! He must increase, but I must decrease!

Yes I did! Finished it up just in time for our trip at the time! I have the rest of it documented, and have plans to finally get the videos edited and uploaded on here regularly again. 😁

@@BluffCoast Looking forward to the finished video!

@@fabiol.150 Appreciate the love Fabio!Thanks for being here! More videos are on the way - finally 😎

Hey Felipe! My donor car was $400. All in, I believe the swap was around $8,000 USD!

Appreciate the tip! Realized a bit too late, didn’t have anything on hand so I somehow made it work 😅

Hey man! It went great. It was such a great learning experience and she runs like a champ! Definitely costs a pretty penny all in all, but if you’re looking for long term use and practicality for daily driving and long distance, it’s totally worthwhile.

Thanks so much, Luca!

It’s a fun process! May be a bit harder in today’s market but definitely some good finds out there! Happy searching man

Happy to help! I thought the same thing initially! 😅

It’s a blast!

If only we had waves in Iowa!

This is an old relic 🤣 it’s a 2013 Omen Barfight! One of my favorites

Peaceful as heaven dude!!

It’s so much fun! This is on the eastern edge of Iowa. It’s a beautiful area.
