Love love love the daidgeban!
Super cool and fun
Literally no one is doing this. Zack.
Matt is lookin wayyy different in this vid
With a family of five and a being a dodge lover I so much need one of this. Great video!
I'm lucky to have a 1982 B250, completely stock with the legendary 3.7 liter slant six and only 60k km's. For the entire production run, 1971 to 2003, these were all produced in Windsor Ontario. I won't be modifying it, but I dig the trend for sure!
Havnt watched yet. Comment on thumbnail. No its not weird at all. Easy to find a cheap used one with a V8. High miles but generally well maintained by the business that used it. Smog parts easy to find for Cali. But G*d da*nit its supposed to be a secret. Dont tell nobody else…ill watch now lol
Needs more Wizard
I had the exact same color van only it was the maxi 15 passenger 3500. I wish I still had it to turn it into one of these.
Hell yeah Dajiban!
Heck yeah!!! I want to build one
And I thought the X5 M40i flashing hazards on the c8 was funny.
As a lover of fast station wagons I really dig this too.
I have the Hot Wheels Dojiban
Proves the old adage. It’s more fun to go fast in a slow car , than slow in a fast one.
This is what a car enthusiast looks like. Built what he wanted because he wanted to.
I like that the driver side door doesnt even seal and you can see thru the seal 🤣
next wave buy one now
Love it. What a fun cruiser.
Yes
I wanna go to the church of speed from my church of momentum
Awesome video. Luwin has had some amazing cars. His C class Benz was awesome back in the Benzsport forum days
Thank you tst. Going to watch Dakar video twice as thank you. Used to hustle my dad's 78 e150 4M through the back roads of Fairfield county doing deliveries. Ty!!!!
This owner passes the vibe check 😎
what's up with this dudes outfit LOL those shades, beanie, he about to go skiing
::Ford Supervan has entered the chat::
All trends come back obviously you guys are a little too young to remember the 60s and 70s van craze
Yooo luwin!! Glad to the see van in action lol
Super video! Clearly a guy who enjoys life and his van is proof of it!
i absolutely love these!
VW Transporter, or MB Sprinter would smoke a dajiban
More of this !
You can sleep in your race car but you can't race your home
I'm doing this with a Camry XV40, adding a free flow axle back for now and getting some hang rings and interior stuff like a big boso/deco style shift knob and perhaps a skirt set. I may drive a beige Camry (with the 2AR-FE inline 4) but I will sure as hell make it the coolest damn beige Camry you have ever seen! Be nice if I could get a Dihatsu badge kit to make it look like the JDM version.
Everything else has gone up in price so much the only thing left to modify is…
I own a 96 ram with the same motor. The idea of anyone trying to make anything related to that remotely sporty is hilarious. I want one.
Great interview!
Ford did this back in the 60s with the super van that had the GT-40 427 in it I believe.
So awesome!!!!

I've worked out of vans for the last 25 years and every one had an active sound system, slightly lowered ride height with poly bushings in the antiroll bars, stiffest shocks/struts available, computer/tranny tune and whatever mods were available, typically header back. They weren't race cars but it made the work days and commutes more entertaining lol
Now this is car content. Not the cars with 100k mark ups with 25k MSRP LMFAO.
God I don't even know why I like this van…
This thing is dope 👌
Waste of money 😂
Fantastic. No, wait….Vantastic!
I can imagine sharing a track session with this and laughing as I pass it. Surely this puts a smile on everyone's face when they see it on track.
Toyota Sienna is probably the closest modern equivalent to the dajiban. Tons of aftermarket support from sway bars to coil overs and even a hks supercharger originally designed for a lotus
