Default Toyota Sienna SE + Vossen =

The Slam Van
http://www.airsociety.net/2012/02/sl...toyota-sienna/
It all started with a simple phone call to Vossen.

Being in the wheel and tire business for about 15 years, choosing the perfect shoes to complement the car’s body lines wasn’t a problem. A set of 20 x 10.5” CV3′s in silver/machined finished were slapped on and wrapped in Falken FK452 rubbers.

UAS Aero Sport front strut bags and UAS Air House II rear bags were installed to offer maximum levels of low when parked.

Of course bagging a Sienna has its fair share of custom work and getting the UAS bags to fit snug was a challenge. Custom fabricated ForjWorks Air Systems front brackets and rear cups were installed and make sure his babies are safe at all times.

A single ViAir 480c compressor mated to a chrome plated aluminum 4 gallon tank was tucked neatly upside down underneath the trunk so Jonathan could keep all his storage space free for transporting his baby diaper bag and playpen around town.

When it comes to staying safe and level at all times, there’s no better product than an AccuAir’s E-Level management setup mated to an AccuAir VU-4 manifold, which is exactly why it’s on this ride.








More info and pics at the source.

As is, the new Sienna SE is nice, but this guy made it nicer.

This makes me wanna have kids and buy a swaggerwagon just to slam it and throw some Vossens on it and haul them around in it . That thing looks sick.

I think its awesome. Why not let dad have a little fun with the family van. The air ride will keeps the kids comfy and dad can leave it slammed when its parked at the super market.

the Swagger Wagon can haul some *** as well.

Loved it recently on a 800+ miles trip.

Ugly wheels don't make a Van cool IMO.

Sadly, a minivan is in my future - maybe not MY daily driver, but we will end up with one. With a 4 yr old now and twins on the way - a minivan makes the most sense. We're planning on getting by with our 2011 Highlander until the lease is up.

Both my wife and I hate minivans... she likes SUVs and I like cars. Neither of us want to give up our vehicle for the van.

THIS van, however, I'd totally drive.

I agreed. Why would anyone do this to a van is beyond me.

I personally love this van, i'd love to have it .

Looks great-I like


I was looking for pictures of lifted trucks, something I don't understand, but I'm sure it's great for offroading, right?

Here's an example of 2 extremes
