FORECOURT to FRONT PAGE. Every UPGRADE to VW Transporter

[@infamous7676]

Stitches + Steel upgrades on transporters are pretty cool, for a swamper / work van rugged low maintenance look.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Ye I’ve seen their stuff. Its cool

[@mattmarshall9749]

Great video, love the van, cannot wait to see what you do next with it! Very inspiring.

[@DeanCoulsonOfficialPage]

Loved watching this build progress and cannot wait for the upgraded...upgrade. Good to see the powder coated back rack, I have an exAA transporter with the same bike rack and changing it to black is definitely on my upgrade list.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Nice mate. Thanks

[@alandavies803]

Been an epic build and loved seeing the progress. Must have cost a fortune all that. My mrs would kill me spending that. You should be proud of the results though. Its a beauty

[@urbanarkoverland]

Cheers mate. It’s a slow process bud. So eases the pain a bit ha

[@shanewaller2864]

Hi aidan absolutely loving how your van has turned out it looks amazing. The new full windows look epic. I too are having some super cool mods done to my van it's heading back into van haven in 3 weeks time for a massive transformation. I'm so excited I can't wait to see it finished. On that note too I can't wait to see what you have planned. Keep up the great work best swamper channel by a country mile 🤟👍

It's great to see the full journey so far. Im part way through turning my panel van into a combi/work/family van, so not a swamper, but I love and appreciate what you're doing. A good video would be to run through the cost of everything you've done to it. 😆

[@marcuspaul6635]

Just thought you might like to know that this was my old van - I had it from new as a work van. I fully kitted out with internal bristor racking, vice slide, solar on the roof, roof bars, updated rear suspension, split battery, cteck and 3000w inverter- I’ve been all over Europe working in it.👍 I had the van built special order with manual transmission and 200ps with lift back door. I replaced with a double cab Ranger that I’ve kitted out the same. I’ve also now built a Ford transit custom camper as well 😂👍 The VW was too expensive to buy…

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@marcuspaul6635 nooooo way. Ye it was exactly what I wanted. It was filthy by the way. Like underneath. Still washing the dirt away now.

[@marcuspaul6635]

Thank you mate

[@mikelambrou4462]

Great van! I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a huge fan of the snorkel but everything else I love. I have rusty studs (sound nastier than it is!) on my Twin Monotubes which is annoying but the van is normally covered in mud so I don’t notice it so much! Getting some Stedi ditch lights fitted and upgrading to Lithium batteries (no room for a Clayton sadly) and then I’m done… Can’t wait to see your camper layout. I dream of having a fixed bed in a SWB Transporter but can’t see how it can be done and still have 4 travel seats. There has been very little innovation in layout so I’m intrigued to see what you come up with 👍🏻 PS the UAO tyre table makes my top 5 upgrades list 😉

After seeing your latest video and now considering a wheel upgrade as my existing ones 20" with Falken 275 x40 tyres and only about 14k miles now considering the Navis MAC-AT 17 " with the Falken 235 Wildpeak 235/65 17", just need to check the small difference in circumference will mean I can fit them.

Umm… I bought the lazer lamps and I regret buying them. Because some so-and-so levered them out of my front grille in the middle of the night, whilst on my driveway. THEY ARE NOT SECURE. I have now fitted LED bulbs into transporter HQ version two headlights. I just add this as a warning to anybody else not to waste £800 plus fitting. They were fab lights, but not worth the risk of them being stolen so easily

[@urbanarkoverland]

Two questions Does your bonnet not mark wirh stone chips? Does your kiravans door store not rub your wheel arch protector? I dont like the light bar or snorkel, but love everything else ❤ I copied most, I envy lazer lights, reversing light and clayton powerbank. I upgraded suspension to THQ NXT, and I love it.
