At least you'd built up the muscle memory to slam those ####ers as hard as possible, because otherwise it was a 50/50 at best that they would actually close each time.

A van parked on a steep uphill? I've trained my whole life for this.

Second, how have we not seen a Delica in this thread yet? There are probably a thousand variations out there like this.

This Gentleman should not be driving a van into the woods.

That is the sketchiest looking Van driver in the World. If I ran into that guy in the woods late at night...lets just say...bodies might become difficult to locate...

If you're going to drive a Van around at least ditch the Creeper moustache.

You'd be arrested at a crosswalk by any local schools.

I had my fingers crushed in a sliding door. Bled like a sonofabitch. I got ice cream at the Bluebird (I think) Diner in Innisfail so that made up for it.

My friend has a Delica. He's a carpenter by trade so he has it all customized inside. You can see it at around 30 seconds into this video. It's cool but pretty gutless. We had to pull over and wait forever for him to climb the hill from Cochrane.

I'm not saying that man has killed a 'number of transients' but he hasn't killed 'no transients.'

I think this much is clear.

His number is greater than zero.

I can't refute that. He's an odd duck.

'Van People' are not to be trusted.

Went to pick up a girl for a date in it and her Dad told me to get the #### off his porch. Good times.

My friends dad had one and we drove it to high school one day. Vice Principal came over as soon as we pulled into the parking lot to see who the hell we were

Very rarely, but I mostly read CalgaryPuck these days.

I am currently without a minivan. 2 kids though, I want one and my wife does not.

After reading through this thread... if anyone needs me: I'll be in my bunk

I'm fairly anaphylactic when it comes to buying anything from Stellantis personally, but I as an aspiring Vanlifer, - I'd absolutely love to see Chrysler put this concept for a "Grizzly Peak" Overlanding / Vanlifer trim level into production



- 31" BFG K02's
- AWD, 3.6 Pentastar
- 2.8 / 2.5" Lift
- 3rd Row Seat delete (most vanlifers tear our these in favor of storage / place for your Dometic / Iceco fridge)

This would fill a hole nicely in the segment without costing an arm and a leg as as 4x4 Transit or Sprinter does. I rented a Pacifica a few months back and it was actually decent for what it is. If they can get long term quality to hold up I think it'd be a winner in the overlanding space.

I wish the Sienna came with a camperized version since that hybrid battery would give you so many advantages for camping.

I had my Sienna (not hybrid) decked out as a van camping rig for a few years when we were in the home stretch of saving for our Canmore condo and didn't want to spend any extra money on holidays. So happy I made a couple videos of our set-up because it was pretty cool and slept my entire family of four really comfortably. Great memories in that thing and vacationing was practically free.

The other cool thing is both my kids really bonded with that time and use their cars as campers now (Sportwagen and a Seltos).
