  • The second time is the charm! Heres is the latest bad idea of mine that's come to fruition. We're going to build a better adventure van that can take us deep in the mountains, down to the desert, or tromp through deep snow. Get to know why I bought this particular van and hang tight for more build videos on the hot piece of meat.

    If you are still working on those decals. Get a 3M vinyl removal wheel for a drill. I used to de stripe cop cars and it will take the most baked in vinyl and the adhesive off. Just keep it moving or it’ll burn the paint.
