Somebody on IG has a picture, sorry I couldnt find it. if anyone wants to look for it they said its on Moose jaws story.

Matt and Josh showed it briefly on their live stream and talked at length about it lol. Sorry I couldn't link a clip at the right time since they're still live.

Oh nice moosjaw joe. Here ya go!

This is pretty close to what I was hoping for so I’m excited. Glad it has a window in back and not a straight panel like a delivery van.

Yeah I like it. It looks like it fits Krawlers, I wonder if those are their big ones or their small ones? Seems like the 4.75" maybe.

If there ever was a body that screamed for Bluetooth speakers, it would be this one.

It’s going to fit a 313mm wheelbase according to youtuber harley designs.

I seem to recall Proline responding to a facebook comment, saying that 4.25" would look great, but 4.75" would fit with the right setup.

It's cool with that paint job, but I think it would be better as an on-road body. How often do you see full size, 4WD vans on the trails? At least it's not another Jeep or Toyota I suppose.

A pretty wide variety of larger vehicles see dirt miles in the overlanding scene, but rock crawling, not so much.

Lots of van and van type 4x4 rigs in the PNW!

Overlanding for sure.

Really? I'm shocked. I know there are the occasional odd guys that want to use a van, but to have them be common surprises me. Have you taken any photos? Now I'm really curious!

One of the reasons I’m so excited for this is because I saw a video of a 1:1 van trailing on Instagram a while back and have been itching to build one ever since.

I’ll see if I can find the clip.

*edit I think it was this van... (embed doesn’t work in here but short video of it descending here)

That may have been one of the vans I've seen. Very cool. I love the bouncy leaf spring ride too!

Many moons ago I had started converting a Trail Trekker to a van like that white G-Van shorty, but using the Micro crawler tires (they were a more scale appearing size) using a Revell '77 Chevy Van kit, but stalled out since the HTU I worked for was at the point that it was about to close in 2013-2014 but never picked it back up once the store started doing better under the current ownership or after that job ended and I started working for my current employer, until.....well, I got my SCX24 last week. maybe I need to look into finishing that project now too.

Here's the kit I used and it's been around off and on in different forms since the 70's if there is any interest



They even offered a 4wd version of it at one time

Is it a coincidence that a new Scooby-Doo movie was just released?
