How would you pimp out an ambulance?

You heard right. A friend and I are tossing around the idea of picking up a used ambulance for about $3500 and road tripping for a year or so. We'd be mostly surfing/kiteboarding/windsurfing/biking/longboarding. Also, we might try to bring our longboard business with us.

This is the beast:

Ideas already:

-Astroturf the roof. So it's a rooftop patio/driving range and has a good surface to rest surfboards etc on top.

-Sound system (obviously)

-What else?
 
im assuming its a turbo diesel... if not then find one.

but make some big ass stencils of your company and tag the shit out of it.

 
It's a "7.3 LTR DIESEL POWERED V8 AUTO PS PB"

We're planning on converting it to run on vegetable oil, from restaurants and such.

And we're looking for names too, like "Slambulance"

 
i would make the back a hooka lounge type thing. get a nice 4-hoser, some comfy couchs/lovesack things, and good sound system and that thing would be fucking baller....
 
doesn't make it any less sick. that sounds really fun dude, just clear out the back and throw in all sorts of stuff you might need (couch/bed/tv/grill). Puting some astro turf on the roof would be sweet, bring some chairs and just chill up there
 
thast fucken ill def put a tv in it with some game system, couch, a bed if ur gunna sleep in it maybe like a bunk bed for u and ur friend def the roof is a great idea maybe a board holder for the bigger boards cause that could take up a lot of space
 
blow up doll. refridgerator wit hbeer, grill, with chimney, bed, tons of buckets, dunno why. cotton candy machine, popcorn machine and game system. with a swing in the middle
 
1. have somebody tag the sides of it up real nice-like.2. there is a bright yellow ambulance with a blue heart-beat design for sale in my town for $1700, have seriously considered buying it.
 
beeerrrrsss

-mini fridge

-bunk bed

-deff astroturf shit on top

couch if room

-microwave

-bbq

-tv and game system for rainy days

-hammocks that fold out like somebody mentioned up before me

-toaster

-sound system fo sho

lots of cozy shit to lay on or w.e.
 
I could probably custom make the couches to provide optimal storage capacity, and double as beds.

Def. a gaming system. We've got a 360 and 22" HD flat screen already, could mount that on the back doors or something.
 
such a sick idea man I envy this shit...Would you run the tv via generator? Would be an awesome idea to take the business with you, because constantly spending without any income is going to burn a hole in your wallets. Definitely keep the place clean, I would get some carpet in there and possibly figure out a ventilation system. Paint that beast black and put your logo in yellow, would loook sick
 
Probably going to wire up some extra batteries, so we'll always be able

to start it when needed. But from what I hear they already have 'em

from running the lights and sirens. We could always just poach power

with a huge extension cord.

It would be ideal to bring the business with us and have a sustainable cash inflow. I figure surfers/skiers would provide a constant market for custom longboards too.
 
Monster truck tires sticking out the side, then lower it till sparks fly. Drive around with the siren on holding a whiskey bottle. put a dummy in the gurney and shove it out on the highway. double park in handi stalls.
 
be careful driving those things... they have limited turning radius before its too dangerous to do it... they can tip

also, check out some airbeds or something, so you can store them during the day, and operate the buisness, and be able to sleep at night... i want to go...
 
Make that thing the most badass ambulance on the face on the earth. Paint women in bikini's to every surface of the car, and do a good old honk if your horny sign right on it. For the inside, tv,beds, portable grills, and all the other stuff put in there without a doubt. The astroturf on the roof is also really sick. BUY THAT SHIT!
 
i like the idea of making it look like a SWAT van...

either that or go up to some random street artist and pay him 50 bucks to paint some crazy sh*t all over it.
 
straight up A team that ambulance, paint it all black, red stripe, and inside take it to the bare (to reduce weight and shit) and then put up plywood or something of that sort of material, then build a wall of cabinents on one side of it, about a foot deep or so, after that you can store airbeds in there, story your microwave, minifridge, sound system, i wouldnt deal with a tv and game system unless your absoluetly dying for that, have money set aside so you can bunk at a motel 8 or something when you get sick of it, astro turf the top for sure, just make sure its strong enough for a few people, then i would say throw in a 360 (for using at the motel 8's) throw on a surf board rack, but mount it on the side to make the top flat and super chill, also i would suggest getn like a kayak or something and mount that on the other side, if you dont do these, get a trailer, cheap $500 new for a 5x7 trailer at tractor supply and there are cheaper ones, because in the trailer you could story your cloths, and everything, and you could quiet possiably make it like a coverd snowmobile trailer, unless you found a covered snowmobile trailer, because then you could store you shit with out worrying about theft or water damage. just make the inside spacious and have few bean bags instead of a couch, either way you cuold pile them into a trailer when not in use, your gonna want like atleast $3000 for expenses and gas, cause these things arnt gonna be cheap and your mpg is gonna blow!

 
yah dude!!!!
I was just about to make this thread.... looks like you go to it first.
Ill be doing a floor plan soon, I guess I'll put it here.
 
shit i was going to say that. just put the hook up and then you can have a lot of room when they're not up. throw in a couch and big tv wired into the sick sound system you hook up. shag carpet on the floor and walls. throw up a light truss on the ceiling get some sick lights in there. fold back platform for grilling with maybe some camping chairs. i like the astroturf on the roof.
 
I don't think an ambulance is fit for EVERYTHING mentioned. Like furreal, kitchen and the whole 9.....

I think you can basically get a place to sleep out of this without making this thing the most ghetto kitchen / bed setup ever.
 
does it still have the RFID transmittor which auto switches green lights to red? If not figure out.

Also, if it still has the siren, get a sickkkk audio system and BLAST loudest fucking bass techno or someshit with the siren going. You will be god.
 
not going to lie but a bumpin sound system would be sick. we roll with straight g- shit if we pick up people who dont care. you know how dope it is to be rolling around with a sick young kid bumpin tunes with the lights on in the city at 2 am. people hangin out of clubs always get a laugh when we roll up like that.
 
-Do something to the exterior.

- All the stuff above for interior

- Powder coat the rims so it doesnt look like a rust bucket..

have fun. sound like a sick idea
 
We're tossing around paint ideas. Either ambulance themed, stealth black, or day glo. All of which would have a sick graf. mural on the side(s).

I'm leaning towards day glo and matte black
 
do you have your own thoughts or do you just type "this" and a fuckn period as a reply to every fuckn post

i havent seen you make a legit post over 1 fuckn word the whole time, become a memeber and typeing this, doesnt change anybodys opinion or influence it just makes you a posting bitch
