Bands! Show your tour rig

[JonWormwood]

Okay I've been wanting to show you guys and was going to once it was complete but I can't resist!

It's a 1988 ford econoline e530 van bus thing.

It was gutted out and owned by Delta Airlines. ~57k miles on it. Only payed 1700!

Minifridge, microwave, TV/DVD, playstation 1! (the 360 will go in it as well!) We even threw in our 210 sub system out of our drummers jeep

No where near complete, we still have 4 bunks to put in it, inverter, generator, another AC, some more storage etc. Then we have a 5x8 trailor for our gear! It will sleep 6 comfortably in the end.



Now show your tour rigs!

Fucking EPIC.

 

[JonWormwood]

Fucking EPIC.

We figured it's better to get this and put a shitload of work into it (mechanically it's fine but it truly had a POS interior at first) rather then a van for the same price and no where near the room.

 

[Pman]

Very nice dude!

 

[BrettT]

Nice fucking score right there! I got nothing.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

That's so fucking awesome haha

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

DAMN. That's like the bastard child of a limousine and a pickup truck. And a bus. And an airplane. And an oil tanker. I don't even know how that's possible, but it's still awesome!

 

[JonWormwood]

That's so fucking awesome haha

I'm talking to lowberg about booking some NY shows in spring/summer!

And we can play beer bong in our tour vehicle if we wanted.

But since it took so much time carpeting it, that won't be happening

Well unfortunately we live on opposite sides of the state, but if you make it over here (The Chance is a really popular venue for huge and small bands alike) I'm there

Where's the stripper pole?

The Chance is cool!!

 

[amarshism]

So jealous. I spend quite a bit of my time in twelve seater commuters. They seem to be the vanhire of choice in aus.

 

[Ashgarth]

That's a great idea hahahaha

Holy fucj that's rutal

 

[guitarguru777]

Ya it totally sucked balls but was worth it!

5 guys and a little uhaul trailer for the gear. This was back between 96 and 99. It was 10 years old when we bought it but it only had 10k miles on it! Figured hey fuck it its a toyota and will run forever. It suited the travel really well and had some cool features.

The captains chairs in the back could turn 180 degrees so the 3 guys in the back could all face each other. The far back seat and passengers captains chairs layed flat and could be used for beds.

The front had a cooler that fit 2 6packs of cans perfectly and worked! No ice just ran off the vehicles power to keep shit cold. kept our weed and beer super fresh for the 3 week trek's all 3 times.

Had a sun roof in the back so the guys could open it up and stand up to stretch their legs if needed. Also worked great for pouring beer in all over the guys when sleeping in the back, or opening it when it rained to piss them off ....lol

Worst part of it was on our 2nd tour we were out with Biohazard and they decided to be funny and used the sun roof to bring in a dozer and dump 150lbs of horse shit into the van while we were sound checking. Billy thought it was the funniest shit till we all grabbed him and kicked his ass for it ....lol Evan just laughed about it and watched Billy get his ass kicked ... was fucking classic!

Had a shit ton of fun in that van!

 

[Line666]

Fuck touring in that thing man, I would live in that (not the toyota obviously)
