Best thing I did was put a bed slider on, so I put the bikes in backwards, gave me enough room up front for an expandable queen size bed that went over the bikes
That slide out is sick!
That is awesome!
Gimme a minute boss, just got plates on her, after a few years of toiling on the contraption….

Wow Great job customizing & your organization skills are next level . I had a back injection at a hospital after that I called my chiropractor to adjust a pinched nerve that had my butt to leg bad. He wouldn’t do it then went on vacation. Then I loaded everything up but bike , fuel & tool box in the rain . Next morning I loaded the rest . I throw gear on the left everything else on the rt . To sleep I get the bike out lock it to the trl hitch , fuel goes outside. Throw 2 foam mattresses on the flour a quilt ovr that & a thin blanket. I,m bringing another blanket next time I need more wt on my body to sleep . Race day I ,m so disorganized trouble finding stuff . I used a paint stick to clean the bike , Bro next to me his 2 riders lived at a train camp for 6 months . I,m not a threat to beat his teen boys in the 125 class. . And no one else offered there pressure washer . So it’s 40 min of scraping . Being organized is the #1 thing . Sat after racing I locked my bike to a motorhome pu my pal & hit Lake Superior to clean up . Easy to get around in a van
That’s awesome, I was always envisioning something like that when I was looking to build out a van when seeing some mountain bike builds. That’s pretty cool and great use of space!
I’m guessing we are the only ones on here with a Toyota Granvia (?). RHD. Diesel. AWD . (JDM.) We’ve had the Stark in there, she’s an amazing contraption, odd that Toyota never sold them here….
With a 318 ? I bought a cargo maxi van in 98 with a 318 . Interior I used insulation for a attic & white rubbery type white paneling . No ac & never needed it , am radio I put a boom box on the dash old school . Haha. I think I paid 4,800 for it I had to park it at my dads farm on concrete in back of the barn . He fired it up & drove to the back of the farm . And parked in 7 ft high canary grass all that moisture rotted the body off . I installed air shocks Fri finally I got rained out 50+ times this summer working on stuff. I,m missing 4 o rings in the kit for the t fitting to the valve stem . I bought 3 pairs of these shocks & never had this problem. Old coil ovr shocks where on there 20+ yrs . A little struggle to get them off weather was decent tho 85 & muggy . Now I hv to hit the hardware store & get o rings b4 it rains.
Unfortunately no, it's the 289 V6. Does ok on the highway, but struggles with a loaded trailer as i criss-cross the Allegheny mountains.
Rupedog, that’s a staw-wa, not a moto van. I don’t care how many stickers you put on it, it does not count as a moto van!
Stealth moto van...
Made some interior progress on our build.
Got the batteries, inverter, converter, and other small electrical things sitting in the garage.
getting the rest of the metal to make my expandable bed for the top platform tomorrow.
Is this a metris?
Yes! 2.0L turbo - paddle shifters, kyb gas shocks n take off 19" wheels n tires from my AMG . runs 26mpg corners like a hot hatch super quiet and tows my 16' enclosed trailer no problem
Pit Row
Stuff to the gills!
😆😆 I need to reorganize the storeage
My Toyota HiAce, back in 05.
Bro, that’s no Moto Van, that’s a moto wagon - wrong thread, Rupaliciois!
Last Tuesday at Chicago trk yard . Ty Ya short for her Ukraine name Was all excited saying is that your van all excited
? I saw her outside driving up & said looks like a Hot 1 fell from heaven & hoped I,d be working with her. And sure enough her co worker pal is Hot too. Now this has happened a few times & I haven’t figured out why these Hot Ukrainian women Luv these vans. I think 100% they know it’s a shagging wagon . They get all flirty playing with there hair then get up
Walk across the room into the hall & turn around. To show me there Hot bod , yeah it’s f ing nuts. She has my spare keys because they hv to move out vehicles .
Still waiting for pics of these hot Ukrainian women , Pro.
I originally built this van for rock climbing trips and for work, not as a moto hauler. But life took a difficult turn, and after many years of climbing I had to make some changes . I was extremely fortunate to meet a group of racers in Nicaragua who convinced me to hop on one of their bikes. The second I hit the track, a wave of memories and happiness washed over me, after 20 years off a bike, I knew I was back.
I bought a 2020 KX250 to get back in form, and recently upgraded to a 2024 350 SX-F. Now I’m all in, racing again. The van isn’t the “ideal moto setup” since that wasn’t its original purpose, but honestly I love it for long moto trips. Under the bed is my "climbing garage" with all my gear and camping stuff/ road bike. The climbing gear was removed and it became a "moto garage" with all my tools and bike gear.
This past January I drove it down to Southern California from Canada and lived in it for 6 months. Woke up in the van, hit all the tracks I’d always dreamed of, visited iconic moto shops. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a dream I finally got to live out.
Looks pretty ideal to me!
A small enclosed trailer for big trips could be handy
Nice van. Is your bike carrier on a swivel? Like a ramble swing out? Makes the hitch hauler on a van way better.
Also keep an eye out for any oil leak from that pentastar motor. The oil cooler in between the cylinder banks will eventually start leaking (they all do) and it can cause an engine fire. Ask me how I know.
Anyone got an online source for mattress foam at a good price. I need two pieces to complete my slide out second bed. A 4" thick 24" wide 63 long an a 6" thick 22" wide 63 long. I can cut the width and length. But ill never cut the thickness cut evenly lol
I bought my foam mattress from IKEA and cut it to the size I needed. I think for the price their quality is pretty good.
