anyone got a van with their kits in?

I been planning to build something myself to go in the back of my van, but i've been planning it for a long time and not really got around to doing it. A flat pack kit turning up that I can just bolt together is very appealing.

looking at an assynt to go in the back of a t5 kombo money pit edition.

Don't know about the plyguys but @the_vanco on instagram do some stuff like this and I think it's Sam/Joe Flanagans' company - MTBers and all round nice guys. So might be an option?

No personal experience of them but as their website doesn't seem to work for me, I'm unlikely to get a nosey at what they do.

I have one of their kits. I would buy something different if I was to do it again.

We looked at them, but they didn’t make exactly what we needed, so we made our own with the help of my father in law.

i could make it myself and part of me really wants to, but life keeps getting in the way. this way, it'd turn up on a pallet and a weekend of activity and its sorted.

Not heard of them before, but they seem to have stolen my business idea and excecuted it really well, the sods.

Buy a big format CNC router that will take 8x4s
Find a supplier of nice ply.
Git-gud at CAD

Profit.

Unforutnatly for them, i own a tracksaw, and have recently bought a router, so I will be browsing their fine website and ripping off some ideas

There is a Van Racking group on facebook you might get some better ideas there.

the assynt is pretty much what I had in mind to build myself, I appreciate I will pay for the convenience of someone else doing the legwork but at the moment I think its the only way its likely to happen.
