  Hey Scot,

  "I wonder if it's narrowed too.
  or if it's even really a heavily modified vanagon."

  Yes it was a 3 day mod from an original T25 according to their website www.justkampers.com  - at a festival called "Bug Fest". Some interesting stuff on there too including 17" alloys for vanagons - always though that 16" was our limit.... Ooop's lets not start another wheel and tire thread!

  Cheers, Paul.

    Notice the ladder mounted on the side for the driver to use to climb in.
    also...........driver in the center ( left to right speaking ) ........very
    daring ,  and difficult to build.
