A lot of videos of "off road van setups" but not many of the vans actually doing anything. Thank you for sharing!

I have been on this trail in late spring and that creek was raging. I saw no people on the trail. He was lucky that others were there to help.

Cool man! wants your tires and suspension specs?

At the end of the video, the view inside the van sure looks like it is awfully empty inside, and maybe even more top heavy than necessary. Probably has/had nowhere near enough weight to have good traction at the rear (primary) tires, plus it looked like the tires were aired down a fair bit. Amazing what these things will do. The next adventure with this 170 4x4 will be a great next step from this outing!

It's a 170, but not the extended. If we knew what we were getting into, we definitely wouldn't have started down that road 😯. There was no turning back after the first pitch.

Just bought my second 170! I wouldn't want to give up the extra space to go to the 144. Unless you're hardcore about hard off-roading, 170 is the way to go IMO.

le sprinter était bien plus agile en descente que en monter , c'est pour sa que compte bien lui monter un dif ARB ... si ils arrivent a faire quelque chose de durable pour le sprinter 4x4

Nothing broke. Video doesn't do it much justice as always, but some of those sections were so steep that it couldn't make any progress unassisted. Some of it was do-able, but it was easier to stay hooked up for a few minutes until we were out of the thick of it.
