❤ Hey man! New UA-camr here (SUNFLOWERS BIG ADVENTURES) love your van and the best colour too. Top adventure's, keep making the vids brother Peace and love from SUNFLOWER'S BIG ADVENTURES❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good stuff! Gave me anxiety though... been in a few situations with my aircooled vanagon not being able to make it up some steep skinny forest service roads. Stalling, with no way to turn around, backing down with the stock brakes feeling like they are going to give out 😰
It’s pretty much a 1Y. The exact code is AEF but the same engine just with a fraction more horse power. Super simple and does a great job in a van set up for touring. This van is really light though and only carrying me at the moment. It can seat 7! Jed
Crawler gear, rear diff lock and 4x4 hehehehehe... That said with a 2wd and a bit of momentum you can still get quite far. In the Syncro you just know you will always get to where you need to go. With this 2wd it brings back the buzz because you just can never say for sure! Cheers, Jed
Have you got lifted suspension on this van , peloquin diff , standard engine etc ? Great video , it looks like it coped very well looking at the track you went up 😳
I lifted the van with our suspentiuon lift spacers (links in the video bio) The engine isn't standard but still very simple with it being a none turbo 1.9 diesel motor. No peloquin diff required if you have one of our front brush plates to give you the confidence to hit obstacles with a bit of speed to gain momentum. It is doing really well so far with more to follow in future instalments of this amazing trip. Stay tuned.. Jed
Jed, do you still use and recommend Comfort Insurance for your trips abroad? I'm off to Hungary after Christmas in my T3 and my insurance is up for renewal
I hadn't seen anyone for a couple of days so was sure getting out would be fine without crossing paths with anyone. . The tin top is epic and funny enough next Sundays video is a full van room tour. Stay tuned.. Jed
@@mrteroo8953 The suspension is standard springs and shocks with our front and rear spring spacers as well as our top ball joint spacers. The rear shocks have our rear shock extenders fitted and our 15" steel wheels with 215/75/15 BF Goodrich A/t tyres fitted. Very simple and very cost effective to purchase. Product links are in. the video info bio for you to check out. Cheers, Jed
Epic content as always, that 2WD is quite a weapon, makes it look easy!
@@overlandvan It doesn’t do to bad for a 2WD van with a none turbo engine! Loads of fun too.
Cheers,
Jed

I just love that buzz Hehehe…
Jed
Cracking vids 😊 why does it have a syncro fuelling point ? One is a little confused 😐
T25's (Vanagons) are amazing vans aren't they.
You know the score 😎
Jed
Is it a 1Y engine? I wish I'd stuck with mine rather than complicating things with a TDI conversion!
It’s pretty much a 1Y. The exact code is AEF but the same engine just with a fraction more horse power. Super simple and does a great job in a van set up for touring. This van is really light though and only carrying me at the moment. It can seat 7!
Jed
Too bad my J5 4x4 is repairing the gear box, I could show you great places around!
@@CervejaDosDiabos Next time 🤙
Jed
Epic bit of offroading up the mountain track there! Did you find you missed the crawler gear much?
Crawler gear, rear diff lock and 4x4 hehehehehe... That said with a 2wd and a bit of momentum you can still get quite far. In the Syncro you just know you will always get to where you need to go. With this 2wd it brings back the buzz because you just can never say for sure!

Do you have an lsd installed if not will you?
Have you got lifted suspension on this van , peloquin diff , standard engine etc ?

Holy Switchback steep road! What do you do if someone is coming the other way, besides Pray? Love the Tintop, is there a video tour of it?
I hadn't seen anyone for a couple of days so was sure getting out would be fine without crossing paths with anyone. . The tin top is epic and funny enough next Sundays video is a full van room tour.

Can you also include a description of the suspension side too please? Wheels / Tyres / suspension setup etc? Thanks
