Do you have the full float Dana 60 rear axle? I’ve been having a heck of a time finding a locker for mine in my ‘06.

I want that van simply because it's black. Dang that thing is clean. Nice work! I've been looking for a 4x4 installer closer to me than the west coast. Been following you on IG for a while. I may be reaching out to you soon.

I've come to the conclusion that I want a 2000-2005 E350 EB, gas powered. I had a 2002 E250 SMB with the 5.4 for a few years. It was my father in-law's, and he never used it. So we kept it at our place and used it and took care of it. We took that thing everywhere. Eventually he gave it to us...

I think I'd rather put my efforts into the van idea instead of a second truck. A well equipped 2wd van would have done most of what I've driven. But one of my goals for travel in the coming summers is to get into more remote areas than I did during that Alaska trip. So past travel isn't...

I know what you mean. If I really look at how the van will be used, I think high clearance 4x4 might not be necessary. But the truth is, when we went on the Alaska trip, I did almost 2000 miles off pavement. Not all of that required 4wd, but some did, and I wouldn't want to have missed any of...

i don't 'need' it. I said I'd like the convenience of it. I'm coming from a lifetime of tent camping, and on the Alaska trip, 2 months of slithering into bed from the rear hatch into a double wide coffin of a sleeping area. More space is appealing to me. And, there isnt much worse than setting...

I have been going through some similar things. My budget is nowhere near what you're working with, but I think we have some similar concerns. It's just that the old 4x4 vans at Goodguys are at the outside top end of my total budget. In the summer of 2019, my wife and I spent 2 months on the...

Love this idea. I am traveling to Alaska this summer and I’ve been looking for a cap with more headroom than my Leer allows. Might look for one of these. Love the Tundra too. I’ve had my 09 RCSB for a couple years and I am still in truck love. Yours sits great. What have you done to it?

watching this eagerly. also super interested in the v8/80 project when that comes...

great adventure, this last one. looked like a blast. i need to hit the road soon.

Do you like it? I don't know about a tilt down spare and lifting the weight of that every time I wanted to get into the hatch.

Maybe. I'm kinda partial to the black. I'm trying to track down some inexpensive 60 series hub caps to see if I can figure out a way to fit them. That would break up the black on black of wheels and tires.

Do you have any photos of that Detours USA bolt on spare carrier? I don't see it on their site. Do you know if it's still available?

No. I dont think so. I am playing around with some plugs for the holes for now. I will eventually weld the holes up and fix the paint. The clear on top of the driver's front fender is shot too, so I can tackle that at the same time.

any updates on your progress?
