THE FINAL GOODBYE. Off To New Beginnings HUGE SHOP PROGRESS
Рет қаралды 55,555
4 күн бұрынMy name is Chrome i have been living in y cargo van for 6 years now. I started this lifestyle BROKE and IN DEBT and after 11 months of living the van life i cleared my debt and started to put my life back together and build for a better future. I have turned my original van into a badass camper van that is lifted with all the toys. Over the years i went from being broke and stealth camping in the city and sleeping at walmarts... to now, living fulltime in a jacked up van and driving deep off-grid into the backcountry and living life in the dirt. WOW LIFE HAS CHANGED.
I now have a shop space to keep me busy through the winters here on Canada's westcoast. Went from Van Life to VAN LIFE + SHOP LIFE !!!!!! Come join this crazy van life journey of mine. HIT SUBSCRIBE, trust me its gonna be a WILD RIDE.
Thanks so much for all the Love!!! Grab a shirt/hoodie/Sticker and support the Madness! www.vancityvanlife.ca

Chrome maybe you could lay out about 20' of on edge, rollover steel grating in front of the shop entrance. This helps remove any stones from tires. Always fun to watch your business come together.

Keeping the ambo in the shop space is smart, you dont have to pay someone else storage fees. I also think you get get a shelter logic carport or similar brand. It would give you a space inside the shop to do all the messy fiberglass work. It could be used both inside the shop and outside the shop depending on the work and weather.

Chrome, check the e-bay for the injector drive module. I found one for my 6.0 E350 project on there. The outfit I got mine from actually repairs them. Mine got wet inside and rusted so instead of rebuilding it, I picked up a replacement unit with a 1 year warranty. Van runs great now. Can't wait to see the 4x4 on the road. Love the videos.
