After what seems like an eternity, our van is here!
On February 28th, while filming our update video, Dylan and I (Alex) finalized the sale of our 2003 Toyota Alphard sale that was waiting for its new home in Yokohama. Although we have been waiting for months for our van to arrive, we are so excited that it’s finally here, in time for the summer.
In Today’s video join us as we pick the van up from the port, give it our first look, and take it to the shop that will be preparing it for its inspection.
We are so excited to show you guys what it looks like inside and share with you all of the ideas we have planned for what we are going to do to it and what we are going to use it for.
Now it’s time for me to crunch through all of the final paperwork, make sure that the van will pass the inspection we have booked for next week, and figure out how to get rid of the eternal cigarette stench. This van is going to make all of our lives much easier. Soon we will be able to take it on trips, use it to movie homies and vintage Japanese gear around, and throw open the hatch and/or sliding doors to make shooting our videos that much easier/better.
If you didn’t watch our update video from March 2 I will include a link to it below here so you can get fully caught up on the process that importing this van has been.
Before we go; we want to express our appreciation for everyone who has been supporting us. Everyone who has been watching our YouTube channel, buying good goods or merchandise, reading the blog like you are now, or sharing our content on social media, we seriously appreciate all of the love and encouragement that we’ve received and can’t thank you enough, it keeps us moving.
It blows our minds to see that our Instagram has surpassed 10k followers and our YouTube hit 2k subscribers in this past week.
Our new drop of Japanese Good Goods has gone live and lots of items have already sold out!
