The week of my wedding is finally here. After endless planning throughout an 16-month engagement, the event itself is this coming Saturday. My fiancé (not for long…) and I are ecstatic. The feeling is surreal. This time next week I’ll be a married man, and we a married couple. A few days ago while discussing…

Buy this AWD-converted Sprinter and live out your overlanding fantasies

Overlanding is all the rage these days. The act of off-roading and living out of a self-sustaining vehicle has become much simpler with roof-top tents and accessories such as on-board refrigerators. But whether tent camping in your local woods or exploring the entirety of the country via house-on-wheels, the appeal of using a vehicle to…

Last Call: Hop aboard the Hoonline

There’s something inherently charming about past visions of the future. Visions from the last ~75 years of a high-tech world we might be living in now are, to me at least, utterly fascinating. Decades like the 1950s spawned brilliant concepts of how we might live, interact, and be influenced by space and interstellar flight. The…

What if there is no mid-engine Corvette?

comments
After decades of rumors and spy photos we’re finally getting towards the C8 Corvette’s official release to the public. And though we think we know a lot about it, we very well may not know anything. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the C8 will bring a mid-engine to the American sports car’s…

Stormtrooper 4Runner: Fitting the Old Man Emu 3″ suspension lift
/

comments
An off-road vehicle is nothing if not for the ability of its tires to maintain traction. No traction means no forward progress. Without forward progress, a day spent wheeling quickly becomes a day spent getting unstuck. As every off-roader knows, that’s only fun for so long. This isn’t simply a tire issue though. Springs and…

Is this the only Fiat Tipo in the States?

comments
Aimless Craigslist searching reveals some very strange finds. You might stumble upon a killer deal. You might see a hodgepodge homebuilt chaos-machine. Or you might come across something extremely rare. Something like a Fiat Tipo. Happening upon what the seller claims is “the only one known in the US,” I can’t help but wonder: is…

Project Introduction: My new 5th-gen 4Runner TRD Off Road
/

comments
Things didn’t exactly go as planned last summer. The Grand Sport debacle backfired entirely and I found myself amidst a full-blown conundrum of needing a daily-driver that aligned with my primary hobbies of exploring, hiking, and off-roading. For a change my brain said “buy something normal” and, for the first time, my heart agreed. It was…

Hooniverse Asks: How do you reinvigorate your love for a project?

comments
I haven’t been very good to the Stormtrooper 4Runner lately. Alright, that’s not entirely true, since I installed new suspension recently and did a lot of upkeep/repainting (more on that in the coming weeks). But truthfully, in the last 7 weeks I’ve driven the truck once. It sits outside alone in the cold, staring longingly…

The above photo and the headline, “2020 Toyota Tacoma Storms Into the Windy City” are all we get, leaving us wondering what changes Toyota has made to its pickup. 2016 saw the introduction of an all-new Tacoma, the third…
