    BEYOND impressive. You need to change the title to Sprinter Van doing Imogene Pass. I did this last year in a stock Jeep. Ever since that time, I have been searching for a video of someone doing what you have just done! Mercedes needs to give you a van for illustrating just how capable this van is and can be!

    I've done Imogene a couple times in my 4x4 tundra with fourwheelcamper on it. Fun. I just put $$$ down on a MB 2500 4x4 sprinter van conversion. You just made me feel more confident about places I want to go with it. Great review and thanks.

    Great review. Guess its a van for light trails snowy path etc. surely ain’t for offroading.
    Best van in the market. Had 1 and did 600.000 km europe

      Not rock crawling surely, but certainly can hold it's own on the trails!

    Great video. Liked 👍 This shows what the 4x4 low roof can achieve. But heard the Mercedes is ending the 4x4 unfortunately with low range and is going to a AWD system? Have you heard or seen what that will be like?

    This is awesome. I work for a company that builds custom sprinters and the first thing people always want is a suspension upgrade and bigger wheels and tires. Yeah it looks great but this video proves it’s not the most practical thing for 95% of our clients.

      What company do you work for good sir? We are building our van to complete the Pan-American Highway, 40,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina, and film a documentary along the way.
      We are glad you enjoyed the video!

    did you use dsr for going down the hill?

    • @roughroadsoverland5048
      @roughroadsoverland5048  3 года назад

      My van does not have DSR. I do not know if it is offered on the cargo vans, but perhaps only on the passenger and crew vans.

      @friedrich4x496 3 года назад

      if you have low range, you also should have dsr. check your fin!

      Was wondering about the clearance for the roof on that “Tunnel” section.
      Turning radius, break over and departure differences to our 179’s is a handicap.
      I’m not sure I’ll take my 170 4x4 on ANY shelf roads.
      Pucker factor 11!
      Looking forward to seeing where this van goes after mods and additional weight is added. Especially if he puts a pop top on it.

      How about 144 HR?

    • @ClimbAClassic
      @ClimbAClassic 4 года назад

      Answering my own question: probably not, if the short roof was too tippy then the HR would amplify that effect even more

    from stock it only has a central lock differential. I dig your advise about tyres, suspension, and offset but what about front/rear differential axle locks - would you advise that? I would also add a snorkel mainly for dust, breathers and a few other goodies :-)

      @@alexanderdekeuyper2990 Tnx for the advice. Indeed I have been looking at IVECO daily 4x4 but the forums report several designer faults. Also for international overlanding IVECO service/parts maybe more of a problem than sprinter ones.

      @@alexanderdekeuyper2990 Tnx, no interest in going bigger (the sprinter/daily are big enough). However I’m intrigued by what you say of the two IVECO versions. I’m based in Europe (France) and didn’t know about the 2 versions. Is there some way of telling them apart? Or is one version going to some markets and not to others. Tnx

    Do you partially deflate the tires to drive off road?

    • @roughroadsoverland5048
      @roughroadsoverland5048  3 года назад +3

      Yes sir! Deflated to 20 PSI for this trip with great success for the stock tires

    • @simpich2
      @simpich2 2 года назад

      Yes especially in places like Moab with my son's new Rubicon Gladiator. We did it last time over engineer, pass in old 1942 jeep and it was so much less bumpy than when we did it without air down tires. My youngest son is Jeep Tour guide in Moab at Outlaw Adventures and he will not go on the trail without airing down. He has a special tool that let's you being the air down to the desired pressure easily by screwing it into the interlude air outlet.

    It’s like a little mountain goat, lol. If you’re gonna keep it, might I suggest you put a pop top on it. Like on a VW camper van. If you then just use this he top to sleep in you’ll have shed loads of space for other things. Just an idea......

    Do you think 4x4 was absolute necessity for Imogene Pass? High Clearance and AT tires are definitely necessary, but would RWD van can do it?

      We have a Dodge Ram pickup and we use it to tow a trailer with old 1942 jeep on it. We would not want to waste it going over jeep roads like Imogine. Too long of a wheel base. Too much twisting. Too high and tippy especially with our tent camper on it which makes it possible for us to go to all these Colorado Jeep roads.
