subaru sambar

VW Body Snatcher

The Subaru Sambar 4WD is a retro look of the VW Bus.  It is what I call a body snatcher of the VW Bus.

I like the retro look of the Subaru Sambar. It is a smaller vehicle, called a micro VanKei truck. Depending on the year, the engine is air-cooled or water-cooled and can come as a 4-wheel drive with rear engine, or rear wheeled for 2-wheel drive. Along with the rear wheel drivetrain is 4-wheel independent suspension.  For more info, I recommended Wikipedia.  Enjoy the video and give it a like or share.

More about the Subaru Sambar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Sambar

The Subaru Sambar is a caboverkei truck and microvan (passenger variant: Subaru Dias Wagon) manufactured by Subaru, a division of Subaru Corporation (formerly known as Fuji Heavy Industries), specifically for the Japanese market. It is Japan’s first Keitora (軽トラ), shorthand for “kei class truck” and is still in production. The Sambar is available in both microvan and Kei truck (Pickup truck style) to fulfill the Kei car guidelines. Still popular in the domestic market, Subaru no longer produces the Sambar themselves as the nameplate has been used on a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet since 2012.[1] The Sambar has also been produced in China as the [三八] as well as in Finland in a joint venture with Elcat Automotive. – WIKIPEDIA

The Wonderful Mitsubishi Delica 4×4

The Delica is one of the coolest vans made by the Japanese. The 4×4 is the best van to explore or overland. The video below is a compilation of several Delicas.  This is a popular van in Washington, Oregon and Canada.  If parts and mechanics were readily available, where I live, I would own this van.

There is several versions of the Mitsubishi Delica.  The Delica is considered a minivan.  I’ve seen many folks put diesel heaters for vanlife off-grid camping.  This van can practically transverse anywhere.
