Bob brought us his 1986 Vanagon Weekender from Oregon and said he wanted us to take this 2WD vehicle and make it a 4WD. He uses this vehicle as his travelling office and needed a complete upgrade on his rolling accommodations. This one was gone through top to bottom during its transformation from just a normal 2WD weekender.
