The Finished Product

 

New Sleeper

                             I used plastic shelving.You can buy from Walmart,K mart,or any type of store  that sells shelving.  The top was cut to fit with a sheet of 4 by 12 plywood.

 

For 8 dollars I have a new looking van .

 

Close up.

 

I used A translucent spray paint made specifically for smoking the break lights,turn signals,etc.

You can find the Paint At  Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts for 14.67 and have plenty extra.

Exterior mods

 Tomorrow I decided im going to do a few customizations to the vans exterior.. The first thing im going to do is paint my rims black there are great tutorials on ehow  that explains the best way for painting your rims. The 2nd thing is black out my turn signals and tail lights i think that will make for a good overall look on the outside of the van. Will post pictures as soon as I can tomorrow.

Finally we put it to those money hungry elite.

Im pleased to say SOPA and PIPA were dropped by Congress today. The largest online protest in history has fundamentally changed the game. Thats right we were heard!!!! On January 18th,13 million of us took the time to tell congress and those pot belly pigs to protect our free speech rights on the internet.

makes me sick

Well I just saw the video of the 7 kids jump the oriental  kid and I dont know were im at mentally. I was olmost past out and saw the video now im wide awake, my adrenline is pumping way to fast. I would love to corner up all 7 of them every day the rest of my life and bash there faces in but fighting isnt the way to handle things. Im just sick to my stomache right now completely for lack of words,speechless.
We can only hope all of those punk ass kids are 18 and our criminal justice system can for the first time manage to justly serve these kids with the full penalty  and give the poor kid the justice he deserves. Its different when its a fight between to gangsters or whatev you want to call it but all these kids jumping the kid for the color of his skin or race just makes me sick. I don't even feel like typing anymore tonight . I pray the kid has a full recovery and inst damaged mentally from this. And im sure those kids Godwilling they are 18, will have a nice welcoming into the correction facilities. Btw they must feel like total hard bodies when they  stomped and hit and threw down this kid over and over and he left the scene able to run faster than all of them with a bloody nose and still had his book bag, He gets the RoadShredder of the week award even tho he was on feet. ........... peace love and wheelies zane933

I started this blog to just give a insider view of how living in a van traveling the country doing what you want and having a  blast is like. I am 22 years young have raced motocross my whole life turned professional and got my pro license in 2010. I am going to take a year or so off from the dedicated racing scene maybe more to just get some time to live life and have some relaxing time to take this beautiful world in.
 I will be traveling from place riding motocross,skateboarding,snowboarding,

surfing,bungee jumping, just anything to get your heart pumping. I also am going to have a section on here were the viewers will tell me one thing they have on there bucket list and I will randomly pick one and persue that activity within reason and blog about that experience and show some video as well. I am going to be expediting with my cargo van the whole time to keep money flowing in to keep me out on the road and am open to donations and new sponsorship opportunities. If you would be interested in being involved as a sponsor please feel free to ask me for my contact info,I will also have a link to my paypal so anyone else can make donations.
