If Transit's came in manual, I'd hit that.

First one would be pretty cool DD especially if you needed it for your job.

[BKgen®]

LOL, i used to have a hot wheels car that looked like that jacked up van.

[JJSPEC Racing]

That black van is interesting. When I just glanced at it with its sorta squared headlights it kind of reminded me of a Nissan Pathfinder, lol. I like it.

[Glides]

4wd full size vans are the bomb. I almost just got an 84, on 35's with shore power hook-ups and stuff. They are pimp.

In Europe the Transits do come in Manual. They also have a low-roof version that looks 3,000x better than what we get.

you guys are behind in the times.


Saw this on another board:

People have been asking what this is in the "2010 trends" thread, so I thought I'd make an appearance thread about it. I suppose it's like any other wacky JDM style (i.e. shakotan, yanky, vanning-zoku, Dekotora, etc), but I think this one is tits.

I FOERST stumbled across this back in July on the Japanese RS Watanabe website in the "owner car" section.

It's been referred to as "Youga Base" style, "Hentai Vans", and a few other things, but apparently they just refer to their cars as "Dajjibans", or Dodge Vans. The Katakana to search for is "ƒ_ƒbƒWƒoƒ“".

If anyone finds any new blogs, sites, or images related to the Dajjiban thing, post them in here. I want moar.


The Basics:
-Dodge Vans (I've yet to see anything else, but maybe they don't get other American vans over there)
-Lowering
-Deep dish low-offset wheels (often 6-lug RS Wats, but I've seen Diamonds and others)
-White lettered tires
-minimalist interiors (CF, racing wheels, not typical van stuff, lots of period American stickers, very eclectic)
-V8 performance mods

They appear to be actually tracking these vans, which is absurd, but ****ing rad.

Here's the "Youga Base" blog site:

Olive drab makes it look like a transport vehicle from "08th MS Team" or something.

I have to look and see if the USDM vans have these same tails. Looks different for some reason.
