I have been thinking about this as well and want something that stands out and add a bit of uniqueness to my outfit... I have been toying around with the idea of an old VW bus or an old panel van... Granted I dont haul a water tank

I would love to get my hands on one of these or a Mercedes Vito, neither of which are available in N. America.

I've been toying with the idea of losing my tank. I do a ton of SUVs and routinely go through over 100 gallons per vehicle. What are you using now for a vehicle? Any pics?

22's on a HHR are pretty big. IDK if they would fit.

Have you thought about tunning it for better mileage?

Westers does some awesome stuff for GM vehicles......My 8000lb diesel lays waste to many vets with his tuning......

Im sure Lyndon would have something that would help you out.

does that van of yours even have a diesel?

if not, theres your problem.

a turbo diesel with just some minor modifications such as a full exhaust, intake, and a tune can net some very substantial fuel economy, not to mention enough torque to pull a house off its foundation an enough horsepower to keep up with some fast imports and even a few muscle cars.

a taller rear end gear ratio will help in highway fuel economy as the revs will be quite low meaning less chance of a lighter load on the truck to spin the turbo into positive boost
