Re: My project : VivaLaVida !

Discovering that ad now, coming out of twelve days in Southwestern Texas. He didn't ask me about the right of pictures ! But it's cool if VivaLaVida can make him some advertising...

My project : VivaLaVida !

So, is that correct?! $90k for the conversion? Plus the van plus 4x4?

Definitly not mine, that's much over my budget!

From what I read only the van isn't included, the $90k includes a $20k allotment for a UJOR conversion. I'm sure Chris would have appreciated to be consulted on this before hands!

Regardless of price or right of pictures or the granted 4x4 conversion I still think they make awesome conversions. I went through their photo albums and got a few new ideas along the way. A lot of what I saw seems really well built, VivaLaVida is a testimony of what I'm saying

Cheers

Re: My project : VivaLaVida !

I agree but if you want something special or custom, you definitely have to follow the build every day to get it. I wouldn't have VivaLaVida as she is if I wouldn't have been there working all the build long...

Re: My project : VivaLaVida !

Claude, amazing van, Ive been watching it come together from chris' post on expedition portal and his website. That thing is rad man. I love it, thanks for the ideas and nice pictures. I like the orbea too, you must be european, you dont see a lot of orbeas here. If youre ever in Utah give me a holler, I'll take you on some great trails.

Re: My project : VivaLaVida !

We got to spend some time with Claude and his VivaLaVida in Baja last week and he has done a fantastic job and is enjoying the hell out of it. We should all be so lucky!

Yep, even better in person isn't it?

Is he headed further South or to Alaska? I think both are on his agenda eventually.
