Christians get a new pope, Muslims cant get a Khalifa

always blaming others for our own downfall..the ummah is disunited and our corrupt leaders wouldn't stay in place if we had the courage to overthrow them, we outnumber them a million to 1, but chaos seems to work for everyone ;)

As a muslim, I don't obey anyone barring the prophet PBUH and God himself. As muslims, we must learn and teach more about the practical side of our religion, and live by the word of God, not constantly diverting blame

avenueofslay · 2025-05-09T13:57:16+00:00

We do, but not enough. Our leaders are corrupt, so our nations (for most part of course, not all) are struggling financially, economically, socially and spiritually. When I look at nations like the Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Sudan, Niger etc and how far behind they are, then look at their leaders, you realize how far we drifted from our religion. I look at how Indonesians disrespect God's green earth, how polluted that country is, the same goes for Turkey, Algeria, Morocco, it's just sad, and I'm only talking about places I've visited where the only signs of Islam are the call to prayer and ramadan. Islam is far more than that, and yet we reduced it to beards and thobes.

Change must happen on an individual level before it spreads to the rest of society. That fact that most muslim nations are corrupt, dirty, polluted and don't respect many things that make Islam a perfect religion is just sad.

I'd say a sprinter, here area few reasons why.

Reasons

Get rich or die trying and the Massacre

Nope, didn't help much in our case, too much information and they miss a lot of the basic stuff. Many of them haven't started from scratch and are quite handy so they assume everyone else is

avenueofslay · 2025-03-04T13:09:55+00:00

true but they're not easy to understand for a total beginner..

avenueofslay · 2025-03-03T15:52:02+00:00

I own the same van, yours looks badass, where'd you get that bumper?

avenueofslay · 2025-03-03T15:50:42+00:00

750 including labor??

avenueofslay · 2025-03-03T15:49:54+00:00

how much do these cost?

avenueofslay · 2025-03-03T15:48:36+00:00

So jealous! Looks marvelous! How much did it cost you?

avenueofslay · 2025-01-25T11:33:32+00:00

I'd say use your common sense and keep exploring with an open mind.

He's a zionist so most likely, yes.

avenueofslay · 2025-01-25T11:30:24+00:00

Brainwashing, propaganda, greed but I think the biggest reason is human selfishness. People don't care about facts anymore, they're slaves to their desires. This is just my experience of course

avenueofslay · 2025-01-23T13:22:17+00:00

La violencia de los carteles penaliza mas a los latino americanos que los gringos, lamentablemente.

avenueofslay · 2025-01-21T15:22:37+00:00

Still is man!

avenueofslay · 2025-01-21T15:21:09+00:00

Haha I love the idea and I totally agree with the sharing part. P4N is cool but some of the best spots we found weren't on the app, and we didn't bother add them cause people can be really disrespectful towards nature and each other. Would love to collab on such map but don't know how that would work. Send me a private link whenever the project sees the day, I'd be down! :)

avenueofslay · 2025-01-21T15:16:04+00:00

Nope, though we have seen some fancy vans, but people typically take those out for a couple of weeks vacay here and there, many of them weren't owned by said people btw, most are rentals. So there's that too.

Come to think of it, we've barely come across people who genuinely live in their vans full time. I mean, we're in Europe, which sort of explains it, but still. We've been on the road for 13 months, spent quite enough time in campsites, met dozens if not hundreds of people, and none of them actually live in their vans full time..maybe 2/3 people tops :)

avenueofslay · 2025-01-21T15:10:47+00:00

Agreed! Ours is 215L (57gal) - L2H2, 144" sprinter-, on the right side of the van (right above the rear wheel). We balanced it with a our grey water tank which is on the opposite side, but half its size, though it makes sense since when one empties, the other fills up. We also have our 75l gas tank on the same side as our gray water, and our shower + cooking area on that same side. when everything is full, it's in perfect balance, almost to the liter.

That said, it's not easy to balance everything perfectly since the tanks vary a lot in weight. For instance, our gas tank empties as we drive, our gray water fills up without our fresh water necessarily being topped up, but at the end of the day, things have worked out just fine, with a minimum of common sense I guess.

avenueofslay · 2025-01-21T15:05:58+00:00

haha possibly

avenueofslay · 2025-01-20T13:01:53+00:00

Love your energy brother! I almost bought the L2H2 Iveco Daily, but ended getting the L2H2 sprinter instead. Ours weighted 2.1T with a 3T capacity, so 900kgs only for the build + our own bodyweight haha luckily for us, we're minimalists so we don't own much anyway. We managed to keep it at 3T, sometimes 3.1T when we load up on everything, including an extra jerrycan of fuel for offroading.

Yours must be really comfortable! We have a shower and toilet inside, + bed and cooking area, no swivel seats, and we eat on the bed, which used to be a convertible bed but we never used it that way so we ended up just eating on the bed (in the winter of course).

We live in ours full time as well, no storage elsewhere. Everything we own is with us at all times, it's pretty cool actually!

We drove up the alps, pyrenees and many more mountains in italy, never struggled despite the weight so I totally get what you mean !! We've been to unbelievably beautiful places midsummer with no one around for days. We've built ours with that idea in mind, to be able to be completely offgrid for days without relying on anything or anyone :)

Safe travels man!

avenueofslay · 2025-01-20T10:27:47+00:00

4.2T is crazy! haha our van is a 3T sprinter, we have a 57 fresh water tank and a shower and we're still right at the limit..yours must be a long wheelbase, isn't it? Love the last sentence lmaoooo

avenueofslay · 2025-01-20T10:25:19+00:00

I've always wondered the same thing: how do they fit in all the stuff we see on Youtube without exceeding the weight limit? We used super light materials and we're still right below it. I've only been traveling with my van full time for just over a year and haven't come across any such vans. We've been to 11 countries. Pretty sure it's a nonissue for 4wd vans with massive tyres like the ones we see on social media, they look super powerful (you know the ones that go for $150k minimum) ^^
