Our JDM 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear needed some paint work, and Josh from Ex Machina Mobile Detailing made our JDM van's paint look better than it ever has, restoring its shine. Just in time for NW Overland Rally and Overland Expo® PNW. Highly recommended. (This is not a paid endorsement! He did awesome!)

The tires are made for those who need to venture off the pavement to get to more off-the-beaten-path locations, especially for recreation. New tread compound offers improved wet traction, wear, and noise levels.

It's International Volkswagen Bus Day! To celebrate, our video and article on driving Kindred Motorworks' EV Bus prototype just dropped. We, Andy Lilienthal and Mercedes Lilienthal, were one of the first media outlets to drive this one-of-one electric.

No matter where you go in the world, the classic Volkswagen Bus—the Type 2 especially—is an icon. Now, Kindred Motorworks of Vallejo, CA, near San Francisco, is taking this legend and giving it new life. That includes a full restoration and all-electric power (last photo shows Kindred's EV setup on a Bronco chassis).

The VW EV Bus is a 60-year-old restomod that takes the Bus from what was, just over 50 HP to 294 HP, with a complete rebuild/restore, 23-window conversion, and many creature comforts original bus owners could only imagine.
