[@bilbo5775]

Maybe consider getting something to help with better traction so you could have possibly " crawled " over that obstacle in Mengel Pass. Not sure what it has stock. The vid looked like open diff. A locking diff in the rear or center locking diff could have made a huge Difference.... Just my 2 cents. Been all around that area with all kinds of rigs and having a locking diff is so much better. Liked seeing you in the geologists cabin up at striped butts, spotted a book my late father left inside as you panned the inside. Happy Trails !!

[@michonwright665]

I’m torn and don’t know where to start with mods. We’ve gone places in OR and NV where many mods would have been appreciated. Off camber and huge boulders with a cliff or steep down sloop is frequent. We’ll be doing back country skiing in remote NV and CA Sierras this year. Love your videos.

[@xseaofgreen420x]

Dude I'd probably just live in there full time at this point, Way better than my apt. You're living the dream man, traveling around and staying wherever the road takes you. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@1987jaac]

So happy for you Talon, thank you for teaching us that you can do what you love if you work hard and believe in yourself. I hope you enjoy your van to the fullest and can't wait to see what the future has in store for you and your brand. Thank you for allowing us to join you for the ride!

[@blainemciver4257]

Definitely got second hand excitement listening to you explain the Espar relocation system, because that was my biggest question with living up here in Canada. Gets pretty chilly.

[@granthoward3296]

SATvan 2.0 is ready to rock! That van is looking so dope man. I can't wait to see it in Tahoe!

[@greatballzoffire]

My reaction as you announce it in the intro. "Jesus christ finally" looking good. Drove that corner like a bamf. Thing wanted to slide. Happy to follow your journey.

[@mikemantho9426]

Great set of mods, the van is so much more capable now. Love the engine recirculating pump, genius!

[@Lunarr13]

SATvan 2.0 looks awesome! If you’re watching his videos and not liking. You’re lame. Support this guy! After all, it is free content you’re watching!

[@TalonSei]

Thanks Melissa 🙏🏼

[@Jasondranoff]

It's amazing how many features this has! Great stuff man learned a tremendous amount.

[@BIGVINNY99]

Amazing set up my dude. Gives me inspiration for my own van set up. Going about my set up in a slightly different way, but dispite that you've given me a bunch of awesome ideas and I'm really glad to see this comprehensive video! Van is life!

[@chrisclark5135]

Love this stuff man! Looks like you're ready for a long winter on the road and I can't wait to keep up with you. Thanks for sharing man!

[@davidzimmer2694]

Over the top make over. Modifications look great. Congrats and be safe.

[@UptownBillie]

Great stuff man, the sat van evolution has been a cool story to follow. So jealous

[@vigilanthumble3299]

all the upgrades are great. that garage lounge system is defiantly my favorite.

[@cjl9625]

Talon you had made my day yesterday you stoped down the street from my house and then drove I really need something like that

[@EQ9962]

Just had a Sat van sighting heading into Yosemite valley from the Wawona gate. A bit smokey but still beautiful. Been tracking your journey and thought i might see you.... enjoy! May see you on a hike. As an aside we have a house rented in the park for a few days. You need a place to do laundry, clean up etc you are welcome here!

[@TalonSei]

I appreciate the offer but we have been here for the past 2 days and are moving along. Enjoy your stay!

[@MotoTrooper]

Good show T I must say those are some quite nifty looking upgrades hope it serves you well in your journey

[@bosstycoon911]

Such an incredible rig im fascinated by all the mods and systems

[@jamesdonlan2392]

AWESOME that is gonna be the best van life vehicle ever dude enjoy the ride can't wait to see the next video

[@csknives]

SATVAN looking super good man! I need a Sprinter, RTT's don't even compare.

[@TalonSei]

Yeah this is a different world compared to RTTs but both still get ya out there, Thanks for watching!

[@JoseRivera-lt2cc]

Great presentation. Solid technical info & purposeful application explanations. Thumbs up to your contributing vendor/suppliers.

[@joesciandro8478]

Love all the up grades great job 👍😎

[@waffle_chuter]

Taking the phrase “living in a van down by the river” to a whole new level! Lol

[@SARLIN5]

You've teased me for so long I don't want to watch it for a few videos just to stick it to you.... Lol I can't wait. I love this shit.

[@CampingRuss]

Buddy really enjoyed the walk around in a van gonna love the new tires and lift,I lifted my truck this year and I love it also the Wii boost I put that in the same one into truck I only kick it up when I’m parked though because of my set up with the rooftop tent and I will tell you it does improve my bars wherever I go. Also dig the light bars that’s my next step to do to my truck with the new winch on the front, in the back part room I saw that on the last video that was a great upgrade. So overall your van is kicking bro ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥 Camping Russ out

[@CultureScreen]

Been waiting for this for weeks! Can't wait to see future updates Talon. Loving the content.

[@TalonSei]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@leejoycechung2162]

You are living my dream life. Stay safe.

[@cherokee1995]

About damn time ya big tease! Van is looking good.

[@lukepaulson3428]

Sweet! You were ripping it up on that trail!!

[@happiknife7716]

Super clean, informative 👌 and f'ing awesome. 🚐💨 🔥 great vid and content dude 🤟

[@chrissulin7202]

You are living my dream! Ha ha keep it up man. Thanks for the videos while traveling.

[@deborahschaub2925]

WOW.....i just found your channel literally 25 minutes ago.... will go back a watch your videos from the beginning so i don’t overload you with a ton of questions if at all possible :). Deb

[@TalonSei]

Welcome Deb! Let me know if you have any questions 🙌🏻

[@MC-cp2rt]

Very informative channel on several topics! Intro Music...is great!

[@TalonSei]

Welcome to the channel 👋🏼

[@chaddamron3877]

Super cool set up 💥💥🍺

[@hobgoblin6551]

11 people are just jealous! Sick ride man, keep up the content!

[@josh9455]

Killer upgrades! I know the heat update is going to be a game changer for sure! I hope the weeboost works out, would like to hear an update on it later once you get some use out of it.

[@theDAK71891]

Talon, check out SureCall Signal Boosters. I live out in the booneys of Louisiana and WeBoost never boosted any signal nor made it stronger. I later switched to SureCall and if it gets any signal from a tower it has been able to retain for sending and receiving all data. It has definitely been one of my better purchases. Keep up the vids and safe travels!

[@Mathieu_CHRC]

Big fan of this van

[@XplorAfrica]

Pretty cool and well thought out.

[@TalonSei]

Thanks for watching!

[@AdamSmith13]

Living the life man!

[@kevinkcb]

Love the videos sir keep them coming

[@JanelleAlexandra89]

SATVan looks awesome

[@stigmsr1]

Now you'll need a pullout screened-in porch/garage for the buggy months of chilling in the new back section.

[@bash6519]

picking up my 2021 Revel in a month. Cant wait. Also Owl Vans just released a Exhaust mod you could use. If you ever end up in Tucson lets shred MTB and One Wheels

[@rickydbrick]

wow good luck and take care sir

[@skylargrabner6771]

Hit that corner HOT🔥😂

[@DanDJMASTERPIECEDegrossa]

Nice van

[@christiantorres5055]

Van Loking great bro and yes i would definitely will like to know more about the WeBoost since i’m kind of going to be on the van life kind of ( i’m gonna be truck driver going thru states ) hahahah and that’s something I would like to know more about and of course also keep enjoying your content like it always been so thank you ✌🏾✌🏾🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@mission140.6]

Love the mods.!!!

[@DayZeroFWD]

very informative...thanks...

[@philiplucky7170]

Talon agreed functionality is key and keeping things clean

[@krishartsphotography5643]

Nice & Thanks :)

[@troysei8290]

Nice !

[@mikeysais1980]

Now i want to buy one of those vans

[@fredf9562]

Hey Talon I recently subscribed after seeing your EDC and mail time vids. The van life seems much more appealing than I ever imagined. Say, how about a satellite internet provider/sponsor for the SatVan?! Stay safe, both of you.

[@wakeupandbord]

Van looks great, a masterpiece for the smaller 144. Though you should burn that OneWheel hat like they have with every customer experience ever encountered : -0

[@eliudm472]

Nice. You should have cover for your back tire with Your Logo. It will look cool

[@PWN_Nation]

Would love to hear about any engine "power adders" that Agile recommends for this type of rig...either ones you have on your list, or stuff you don't think you'll use personally but upgrades that other customers have gotten installed.

[@derekbatts8930]

Supercharge that van man!

[@TalonSei]

It’s already turbo charged.

[@daviddickerson495]

I'm pretty sure I saw your van in Moab over Labor Day weekend. It was up by the Colorado River bridge and as I drove by I noticed a van that looked familiar. At least I think it was you.

[@TalonSei]

That was where I parked for the day when I rode “the whole enchilada” 🤘🏼

[@ronmckenzie386]

Yoooooooo Talon love the content keep it coming. Quick question what sunglasses 🕶 are you wearing in this video.

[@dlynamR8]

Niceeeee

[@garrywilliams9513]

Hey, Talon. Love the videos! Did you cover the rear door accessory light in any of them; I don't recall seeing it anywhere? Would appreciate being pointed in the direction - or any info you have on the installation. Thank you!

[@ryanstout22]

Great video. Did the espar relocation reduce the noise levels on the outside of the van when the espar is running? Sometimes I'm in campgrounds next to people in tents and I always worry the espar is too loud. (Also for my neighbors in when its parked in my driveway and not winterized.) Thanks!

[@mhavy_v6]

The SATVAN is even better than before! Also, have you considered wrapping the entire van multicam?

[@johnnyc8722]

Great vid - I'm looking to do most of these when I take delivery this Apr! Do you notice much road noise on hwy with the 275 KO2s? Also, I'm looking at doing Agile RIP too -do you adjust the front Koni shocks much or set it and forget it?

[@alanwestport]

I have what most people would consider an above average knowledge on the subject of wireless signals with a device like Weboost. YOU CANNOT BOOST SIGNAL. You can repeat signal into another area. In other words, someone can take the level of signal that they can achieve standing on the roof their van and bring that level of signal into the van. Bear in mind that solid materials such as metal, glass and any other hard surface attenuate radio signals. Stand outside with your phone and whatever "bars" you get the Weboost will bring them inside.

[@TalonSei]

The antenna on the weboost is much stronger than a cellphone antenna, so what it does is takes the signal and repeats it / amplifies it inside of the van. It works great on the fringe of reception 👌🏻

[@alanwestport]

BTW, really good video.

[@JAHMAN20000]

Would you ever consider using a generator to power your a/c? I feel like winnebago needs to add the lithium capapibilities in the stock Revel so that people can run an a/c off grid.

[@Scatty1986]

How much light do you need in front of the Van? Talon: Yes!

[@patrickdougan4066]

You said the stuff about the things.... 😳

[@813todd]

Did the "Backwoods Front Bumper" mess with the Mercedes front sensors?

[@jefflebard4514]

what did you use to coat the face of your cabinets? I’ve been wanting to do this to mine for a while… appreciate any info!

[@slayerkid7]

How did you comment on Demolition Ranches video a day before it was released?

[@petehabib361]

Mind sharing the ball park cost of all the upgrades a Agile? Planning on doing several down the road.

[@seanwieland9763]

Do you have your amateur radio license? The test is easy for someone like you to pass, and with how often you’re in remote backcountry it could be a great failsafe as well as connect you with some interesting characters.

[@deejaymoore19]

👍🏻

[@50spudman]

👍

[@chukas9264]

I know talking about $$ is tacky but how much is tied up in this rig? Would love to set up a van...

[@chetoflep]

Do you use a dedicated hotspot for uploading or just your phone? Looking to set something up in a rural home.

[@TalonSei]

I use whatever I can. Phone, jetpack, coffee shop Wi-Fi etc.

[@psiorian]

Just wondering what rear light did you put on in place of the ladder mounts? Great video! My shopping list just expanded a bit more.

[@TalonSei]

Solar powered motion sensor light from Canyon Adventure Vans

[@psiorian]

@@TalonSei COol! I saw it on Jason's van but I never knew what it was, its not on their site. I'll have to ask them about it.

[@sonny1597]

Have you ever weighed your rig fully loaded? I'd be curious. On my Ford it's rated at 3950 lbs GVW .. but after my mod's I ended up at 4440 lbs. Bumpers, winch, bull bar, sliders .. all adds up!

[@TalonSei]

Haven’t weighed it yet but I would guess a little over 7500

[@expertadvice4u]

I never hear about you talking about using ac. Can you use it engine off? How long will it last on battery? Or what type of draw does it take?

[@TalonSei]

I haven’t needed to use the AC since mid summer in Texas. That’s the only feature of the van that would require lithium or a generator to run off grid. Everything else is self sufficient with the current solar - ctek set up.

[@truckerandtourist6520]

Would love to get your take on the weboost!!! I’m in the process of buying a semi truck and one of the things I’ve been thinking about doing first as a add on was one of those but I’m still unsure! #FormerShoeyRez

[@morenonesense]

What's the black hood cover made of?

[@allankeaton]

Did you add a the 8020 box so you can keep the bed higher?

[@TalonSei]

Yes so my 29” tire bike can fit

[@hikesbikesbrews]

ahh if only I had $200k I would do the same ASAP

[@pathollis9918]

Do you find you use your roof AC much? & how well does the max air fan work now that its cover by solar panels?

[@TalonSei]

I don’t use the AC unless it’s necessary like southern Texas in July. The max air fan has not changed, still works the same and the solar blocks most light from coming through there which is nice.

[@pathollis9918]

& do you know if 2021 Revel has the lithium batteries?

[@pathollis9918]

never mind...found out, it does! & you speak well on your vids!

[@JDGless]

So how much do you have into the van?

[@alexbautista9214]

Where can we buy Talon Sei merchandise like patches, stickers, t-shirts?

[@TalonSei]

No where currently but I’m working on a store for the new year 👍🏻

[@mikeanshit158]

But did you get the agile aux fuel tank?

[@TalonSei]

Nope. Didn’t want the extra weight. I currently have 2 rotopax mounted to the rear

[@jakehvazdamusic]

Where you from in PA?

[@markculpepper2575]

Is this a 2020 model year?

[@KotaAntonio]

When do you plan on going home ? How much longer are you doing this ?

[@TalonSei]

This is “home” now. I’ll travel until I feel like I’ve seen enough and then settle down wherever feels right.

[@KotaAntonio]

Talon Sei ahhhhh I didn’t know that. Did you sell your house or something ? I wish I could do this man. I’m jealous

[@EvergreenOG]

Sounds like your close to a New Storyteller Beast Mode Van at 189k

[@Klp85]

Are you ever worried about tip over?

[@TalonSei]

No. The weight / center of gravity is positioned as low as possible in the van and the suspension upgrades also add extra stability

[@zumezoom9593]

wish I could grow a massive beard. do you like your interior layout? do you travel alone? what would you do differently, if anything at all?

[@tilekabdiraimov9064]

can we get more videos on subaru crostrek )

[@watbri1801]

:) :) :)

[@HaydenCroix]

not gonna lie that looked like you were gonna role over ripping it in the SAT van

[@mikeysais1980]

For the Weboost, I'm a trucker driver and I have one. Think of it as a amplifier in your ride. If your ride has no power your amplifier has no power to amplify. It increases a weak signal to a better signal for your devices to work
