Tourig Built "Bruce Banner" Expedition 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter Van Conversion

Sickest off-road sprinter van in existence! Well thought out! Made to use. This machine will last for years! 20 years from now it will still be cool! That’s how you build a vehicle that you can actually use and off road in. Camp in spots where other vans can’t reach.

Definitely a young person rig. Things that are taken for granted and you may not appreciate at first are a shower and toilet. I mentioned this cause we were going this route and at the last minute for a number of reasons, went with a 18' off-road nucamp t@b 400 boon dock light trailer. First, it was way cheaper; price tag went from $140,000 to $30,000. Second, we got a shower and bathroom. Third, solar and three way fridge (solar, electric, propane) gave us the same boon dock capability as the Sprinter we were looking at. Of course, whenever we see a Sprinter we ask ourselves "what if". A few months ago while camping, we woke to see a beautiful custom Sprinter parked across the road from us. Once the occupants were up, we had to stop by for a chat. The Sprinter was beautiful, had everything we had wanted, minus the indoor shower and toilet (basically a small wet bath). They did have an outdoor shower hookup. Our wives began chatting over wine (hey, it's 5pm somewhere, don't judge) and eventually walked over to our small trailer. Our 400 is 18' but that's tip of tongue to back. There is actually only 15' of living space that provides queen bed, kitchen, separate dining area, and wet bath. About 30-mins later our wives return and the first thing the Sprinter wife said was "I so regret not getting some sort of indoor toilet". She told her husband they should have saved money and looked at an off-road trailer. We all laughed and were reminded of the old saying "Trailer pullers are envious of self drives and self drives are envious of trailer pullers". Each has pros and cons. All of this said - WOW that rig is nice.

Got to be one of the best Sprinters ever. Built like any off road van should be. Worth ever penny. Stands above all others!!

Absolutely brilliant. Best I’ve ever seen!

Should be called "Bruce Vanner"

Best rig I've seen... Good Job...

Awesome in and out!!! 👍🤜✌️

It's amazing what can be done with an unlimited budget.

That's the set up I want for my van,,everything,,just like that,,,that van is gorgeous...

Can't get much more bad ass than that. Thanks for the great vid.

Awesome build!!

Cool van, like the linex finish

Mega!!!!!Greatings from Germany.

Amazing! Best van camper that I have ever seen.

Nice van love the colour 👍🏽😎👍🏽

AT LAST, A GENUINE OVERLAND SPRINTER - FOUND AFTER WATCHING RV VIDEOS FOR YEARS.

One of, if not the best, Sprinter Van out there!!!!

Super cool! I want one.

Please send it over to me in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Beautiful!

Sick!!!! It would be awesome for a dadventure!

Super cool!!!

Wooooowww, first seen and immediately in love !!!! That would be MY house !!

Damn, how I love this car !!!!

The Hottest Sprinter Van I Have ever Seen ! Sorry for my English I Am German .

Love the rig! Converting a 4x4 170" myself (Whitefeather conversion with Dana 60 solid axle swap). Definitely getting tons of good information from you on your IG; appreciate all the posts!

I love it, good quality, the best for van life in the nature….. Thank you for the idea…... just find the $$

Ha! Normally I just PM Levi... just what I need today here at work!

Oooooo now that’s a beast love it👍🏽🤙🏽 ☺️😍 the camera person was to close to see the inside properly.

Nice! I need one😁

Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👌

Nice one

Nice build $$$$$$$$$

Super!!!👍👍👍

That’s amazing. I love the solar setup and water capacity. The Dana 60’s and Atlas are super tough. Very neat rig but as an underpaid paramedic it way out of my price range because if it wasn’t Id take it and vanish into the desert till all this virus shit goes away. 😊

Fully loaded even comes with your own adventure dog

Epic! I love it.

Excelente ... saludos José de argentina

Juste amazing💥💥💥

Awwww man that’s bad ass lol! Love it!

Badass rig. Seems to me the cook top could have been moved for ther left to make just a litter use of the space, but I'm not complaining. Love where the shower/toilet is as opposed to where they put it on the stock revels.

Respect and LIKE from Russia!!!

Espectacular

That green paint or wrap is sick!

id love to have this van but without the rack / comfy interior ^^ i need to haul stuff in very remote places :P

Geilomat. Absolutes Traummobil

A dream!

Bruce got that drip

Wow, most capable I’ve seen.

Whaaaaa, you're running Black Rhino Armoury's with free wheeling hubs. A guy told me that you couldn't so I looked for another choice. It pays to get a second opinion Great build BTW. Love the colour scheme and the black cupboards. Very classy.

I found the host’s name Levi amusing, as that’s what I named my 2018 Sprinter 3500 HD back when I got it new, though In my van’s case it’s short for ‘Leviathon’. It’s a work rig for my plumbing company though, not an adventure van.

Tolles Fahrzeug, schön gemacht, nur etwas lang für das Gelände.

Does anyone have more details on what was required to swap the axles? I've searched everywhere I can but it's hard to find really detailed explanations of everything that had to be done to get it up and running.

looks like one of those rigs from lost world

Gonna guess 300k+ this is nuts😍

My last offer, $2500,- take it or leave it... Wow what an incredible van!

The dog 🥰🥰🥰

Certainly waaaaaaaaaay out of my price range, but I like seeing that someone has addressed the woefully inadequate drivetrain of the Sprinter.. If one wants to actually use one of these vans on rough terrain, that should be the first step.. Most of what's available, are cosmetic mods, that granted, look great, and if you're never leaving the pavement, then fine. But, if you're going to step off the beaten path in a sprinter, without addressing these weaknesses, then you might want to add free towing to your insurance policy.

Hi guys what a van! Looks fantastic. Can I ask where did you get the wheel arch flares from?

That's an awesome van how much for Bruce Banner or something like that

Are we not going to talk about that doggo?

MB-Quart... Very nice

Wow!!! That's exactly what I want!!! I wander how much?)

Amazing rig! What was the conversion cost?

....und am Ende wieder schön aufn Campingplatz.

First thought is how heavy it must be, how much miles to the gallon?

Very nice video. What is the cost to build an exact van conversion?

Where can i buy one Bruce Banner Camper...it s nice to watch video but when it s time to buy there is nobody to sell one...

Awesome ride ! But after all that you still need to crap in a bucket. 😁

What a beautiful machine if its going for free can l borrow it for the weekend

LOVE IT :-) what does it weigh, kg? and, what has it cost to make?

Really like this vehicle but I’d have it on the long wheelbase version but other than that she’s perfect

Hahaharr a monster, parking on a handicapped spot :-P

-How much money does it cost? -Yes.

Do you guys make one that has the raised bed that when lifted, can be a table with two benches below?

Great build. Can anyone tele the manufacture and model of the 12V fan located behind the driver seat

one remark : the wheel wells seem not to have been sufficiently enlarged...

how much did it Cost fully?

Magnifique !! Mais a quelle prix svp ?? Ça m'intéresse

Oh yes this a sexy beast now I don’t want to know the $$$$ of it . But great build .

Losts of custom work means lots of issues when things break and you're in the middle of nowhere

Obviously when money is no obstacle. Geeeez, freaking awesome though.

How much does a setup like this cost?

Hello I will built same van in Czech Republic you can help me or share som information about suspention fronf axle and tires? Thanks a lot bye Jindra

Some dude: I have a Leatherman Wave as part of my everyday carry. This dude: .....wanna check out my cupholder? Story goes a bit like this. I had this cupholder. Then I thought, what if I added a chassis and some big wheels to the cupholder? Then I asked myself - what if I also added an engine to the cupholder so that it could spin the wheels in a 2 or 4 WD configuration via a hi-low gearbox? Then I thought, what if we enclose the cupholder and the extras with a box to keep the cupholder out of the weather? I then wondered what would happen if I fitted the cupholder with a kitchen, bed, bathroom, seats, steering wheel and storage solutions inside the box already fitted to my cupholder? And then I pondered if the cupholder would be even better if I fitted solar panels, battery banks, water tanks and cups...in a fashion that allows my cupholder to itself be equipped to make a damned fine cup of coffee for the cupholder? This is how to build a mighty practical cupholder as part of an everyday kit.

Sooooo 6 figures later and im mad jealous :)

What is the total weight of this tank?

1:24 so the suspension does not work? Looks like the wheel would hit the fender when driving over the smallest bump

AWESOME!!!! How much !?

Humor me here. Just retired. What ball park are we in here ? What was the cost of that van ? About ??

And the cost is?

nice video and huge van 👍😍 ,what the exact model ,year ,original height width depth of the Sprinter ? thanks for your answer 👍

No bash plates?

Drinking game: take a shot everytime this guy says "system"

3:50 Warum hat das Auto so ein Zündschloss? Müsste doch FBS3 haben, oder?

This looks amazing! However, I noticed there's no bathroom?

For the next Zombie Apocalypse.... ha ha amazing van!
