OVERLANDING ... in a VW Bus That was made in 1958!

[@danilvisk5286]

Friend, I still don't know how to speak English and I don't understand much of what you say in your videos. But a VW Bus and a free life are enough to keep me hooked on your videos. A hug from Brazil❤🎉

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thank you, My Friend from Brazil! It's always wonderful to have viewers from all over the world! I'm working on the CC for you.

I always watch your videos, today I had the courage to write... I'm very discouraged with my projects and with life. Watching today I decided that I'm going to fix my bus! Thanks for the encouragement! A hug from Brazil 👊

Go ahead, Rodrigo! As Larry said, there are plenty of places still waiting for your sigh. No matter how old-or young-you are, it’s never too late or too soon. I hope you capture those experiences on tape to share your personal impression of the world with us.

Hey. My 1969 bus is a disaster ! 1 patch at a time 👍

Awesome! Go forward! 🫵🏼 🇺🇸

[@mikescott7408]

Gorgeus bus, ive had 3 pre 67', 66', 65' and driven to Mexico and crossed the country and So Cal to Washington..They seemed so big when i was young but in reality these are so tiny. But the desert w no A.C. and a a air cooled motor , your a animal dude.. I get its the winter but still you gotta wear winter clothes to drive .. props to you..

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks, Man! I did my fair travels up to Washington from SoCal, Puts a smile on my face thinking about it. Thanks Again!

[@stephenmiller5023]

Over 45 years ago now while I was a senior in high school in 1978 my Buddy Lloyd & I and a few others would all pile into his 1954 VW Double walk through door bus and take off into the wilds of the Baja peninsula in search of epic surf spots and just camp wherever the day’s journey & waves took us . Now at almost 65 in my life I still feel the need to get out in areas of little to no others and just chill . Not in an Old VW anymore, but in a 22 year old GMC Sierra diesel powered 4x4 I’ve made into my personal overland rig . Still doing what you do in that old rig of yours takes serious Balls my brotha!! Stay safe out there & who knows , you & I may cross paths somewhere, sometime & share a camp fire & some tall tales . Cool rig ,& THANKS for a trip down memory lane here . C-ya . 😎👍

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Great Story, can't wait for the Camp Fire my friend!

Thank you, my friend. Glad to be back on the trail, and thanks for the kind words about the filming. 🙏

I've been out of VWs for 20 years, but I know a cool bus when I see one! Sales flap panel with Hurst bumpers! Nice rig my friend. Love it. I had a 1960 SO 23 Westfalia and a 1967 SO 42 Westy. Wish I had them back now!!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

You know your Westfalias! Thanks, I enjoy my travels in her. 🚐 The flap is a SO 1. But you must likely know that already. 😉🚐

Yo Larry, you have a childlike infectious enthusiasm and wonderment of all things natural, so refreshing in these days of over technification. A pleasure to watch, I actually think this is the best one yet, and you have perfected the art of self cinematography, in that the camera you are talking to , IS another person. Till the next time,

Corona is better than Coors any day! 7:12-20 reminds me of a saying: John 8:36 NLT - So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. Man, I like the pace and vibe of your trips. Even when you get stuck, you don't panic- you stay chill, like, hey, been there before, everything's gonna be alright. Y'know, traveling around in rigs older than we are, ya can't rush things!

Owned now by a friend of Jason, at least it hasn't been totaled like my '64 was: ploughed into by an uninsured driver while parked on Pennsylvania. It ended up at Pick-A-Part. Another beautiful one gone, circa 1992. Great to see you back making vids!! I'm loving the adventures!! Especially the story about your camera playing a previous vid, and you thinking there's ghosts around or something. 😆

[@SteveB88]

I’ve watched many videos where people have found these VW buses in the most remote places out in the middle of nowhere. Seeing as how you got stuck in the sand. I wonder if similar things that happened to some of them in different places, somebody got stuck and couldn’t get out and just walked away and It just sat there until somebody else found it 25 or 40 years later.

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Yeah, it happens. I found mine ('58 bus) abandoned in the woods while looking for my dog in 2017, it had been out there for close to 45 years from my research, now it's my driver and overlander like Larry's. Epic. Good Karma happens 👍

[@rangertommy]

Enjoyed this very much! I drove a 67 Westy for years on all kinds of climbing and camping adventures, and it took me right back into the driver's seat, and, of course, right back into the engine compartment to figure out what I needed to fix or watch closely. I drive a 97 Mitsubishi Delica L400 now, but I'll always have a soft spot for VDubs! Cheers!

Yeah sandy roads would be my main caution. Actually only got stuck once, on a beach in Mexico in our VW, (what to expect?). Our current 2WD Dodge can be a challenge on some sand roads too. The old VW wasn't fast but it had a good heart and motored through some tough places. We met a lot mechanics around the country. That's lichen, on the rock, in the desert.

I like the "newer" Coleman white gas stove. Surprised you are still using white gas. I converted my 1967 model white gas stove to propane a couple of years ago. So much more reliable. No messing with spillage from white gas. Temperatures are much more consistent. I will never go back to white gas for the stove. Now my lantern, that is a different story...

Looks like Fred Flintstone country, watch out for rattle snakes hi from Geelong Victoria Australia my name is Ken.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

G'day Ken! How ya goin' Rattle Snakes are good eatin in these parts of the Mojave! As for the Flintstones, No Dinos here Mate! 😉

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

​@VintageOverlandAdventures yup, the Mojave Green's are known to be some of the most aggressive of all the rattlers, oh boy!

[@rgarizonahomestead2729]

they were a well built vehicle I had a 72 camper van that made a lot of mountain trip in my youth. my wife calls them motel on wheels I would love to have one again but she thinks I am a player at age 70 I laugh at that statement. I tell I am to tough for that at a tender age of 7

To much fun, My son "Vaughn" travels the western US in a 78 VW Bus. 1972 to 1979 = comfort, good speed on the hiway. Sound like you had a nice Bus! 🙂 Mountain Tops and all! Give the wive a hug and I'll see ya on the next one! 😉

[@mgmg-sb7ze]

I like your adventure😊 Are you alone? I want to join with you if you want 😊😊😊

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Stranger Danger! 😂😁🤣😉

Pretty cool. You wander the regions of the Mojave I am outfitting myself to wander. I am regularly going into four different spots but those are known to me, and I don't camp at those locations due to them being "fishin' holes" for pew-pews. I'm looking forward to an east-to-west journey across the Mojave Road some time between New Year's and Easter next. Hope to see you out there! at some point. Too, I've never seen a van like yours w/ the dual doors amidships. Was that a period aftermarket thing? Cheers!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

I hope you see me out there too, as long as there are no "pew-pews"! 😉 Mojave Road is on my list. Zig-Zag across it. Hit the sites and cabins. Guessing 7/10 Days. Hide somewhere for the week end. The Vending Door was an accessory, S01 Westfalia Conversion.

[@bddmhopp5]

And what’s that passenger side hatch? An ice cream truck?

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Yes, Factory Option, Vending Door, Sales Flap. Made By Westfalia

Try purchasing some cheap traction ramps, (or) and limited slip or locker (trans axle)

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Lol, good luck finding a limited slip or a locker for a VW. Guess ya don't spend much time around VW's, huh? 😂MAGA!

[@smsjr36]

@ you can buy just the differential and build. They do make them , genius

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

I have used the traction boards. I love the challenge. The 091 Locker doesn't work or fit in a Tunnel Transmission with reduction box axles. I like my reduction boxes, not going to convert to IRS or Late Bay gearbox. Getting stuck in a little sand is fun until you're out of water. 😥 Thanks for watching!

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

@@VintageOverlandAdventures lol, wouldn't it be cool to have a triple-locked 4WD Splitty?! ...Synchro Splitty!
