Chad from Living The Van Life should make a trip there.

Dang guys, that was hard core!! Impressive and beautiful.

[@AndyMcClements]

Ballsy ! And not a single stoppage or breakdown ?? :) That's impressive. I've been around the Syncro scene in the UK for ~17 years, and this is the first film I've seen that makes me 'get' the US Syncro scene. Good job.

"I love it!!!!", he chimed in two and a half years later. What an amazing adventure you guys went on. The Landscape is spectacular and that you made it back to civilization in your Sycnros is possibly an even more spectacular feat. Love the music choices too. This was a really relaxing video to watch. I miss my 87 Syncro and my 89 Wolfsburg Carat...and my 2 '93 Eurovans. Thanks for making this and putting it up here for the rest of us to see.

[@GoWestyCamperProducts]

[@CaptureShareRepeat]

Top notch advanture!!

[@vitatrader]

That's what Syncros are for. That place is only 4 hours from me so next winter I might just check it out.

[@advfun1523]

That was awesome! Thank you for sharing! True adventure!

[@GoWestyCamperProducts]

You bet!

[@toddflemingphotography9164]

DUDE!

[@mebridges72]

Epic journey. Really enjoyed this one.

[@GoWestyCamperProducts]

Glad to hear it!

[@vanavationvideos2371]

Love watching the clock hours scroll at 18:20, showing the "set" button is stuck in! :-)

[@taylorgrant4447]

I like it that way. It reminds me that when I'm in the Van, time is meaningless.

[@clem666ish]

This 'couple-o-hundred' mile journey, was the equivalent of, maybe 50,000 mile 'normal person" use...

[@Good-luck-Jonathan]

Damage to the paint and underside. Forget it I can’t do this to my poor EuroVan Winnebago by install a syncro kit. I’ll keep my Auto trans which love. Nice relax drive and get a nice UTV to pull behind to go off-road adventures with.

[@michelmeerman285]

[@suckysucky5096]

[@hannusotaniemi1306]

Great scenery there!

[@envirogisgirl]

This made me so happy!. I am recovering from long haul covid neurological issues & recently purchased a syncro that needs an interior & motor I love the idea of 7 days on dirt & having a bed & kitchen bult in. Not my jeep - yet looking more capable than I know! TY for sharing so very much! Did yall get your skid plates custom or modify from another maker? TY

[@taylorgrant4447]

GoWesty skidplates front to back!

[@stahlke775]

First I love the video but you are in Northern Nevada very close to California! Central Nevada let’s call “Austin” nv 200 miles away east!!!! Great video!

[@GoWestyCamperProducts]

Thanks for the info!

[@kalimethod]

Must figure out how to make our van this capable.

[@bigeyejim]

When your buddy shows up in a brand new $75K Toyota with a snorkel...

[@chrisdamico9209]

That was hard charging.

[@vitatrader]

Can you share the route? Looks like an incredible drive.

[@jeepercreepers54]

Ahhh, the wonderful, peaceful sounds of nature and then comes that serenity destroying, obnoxiously loud engine.

[@guitarmagic]

Yew!

[@47130252]

Wonderful video. Is the tin-top syncro running on standard 14" rims? What tyre size, please?

[@taylorgrant4447]

We're both running 15 x 7 steel wheels, with 30 x 9.5 tires.

[@jeepercreepers54]
