    UJOR Build Thread

    Do you just bolt through the glass with a backing plate on the inside? Or do you need additional structural support built up inside as well? I'm assuming the top has wood bonded into the ceiling.

    Is that an optical illusion or does that top really taper down at the back quite a bit? It looks like a huge headroom difference at the rear!

    UJOR Build Thread

    I've a question for you, Chris. I've got some front end squeaks and think I have narrowed it down to the leaf spring shackles. I don't see a way to grease them. Am I missing how to service them? Is there a good way to minimize the squeaking from them?

    Van Envy to the extreme. I think this is what would classify as a VILF. Are they willing to show how they finished out the interior?

    How to keep interior light off when doors open

    Interesting. My 2003 dome light has a switch that turns off the front and rear lights if needed, I thought that was common on the E-Series. But I like the idea of having a switch I can reach from outside.

    7.3L engine life?

    If you replace the injectors you may want to do a compression test while you're in there. I checked mine when replacing injectors/cups at 275K because the motor started burning oil and they were all still within factory spec. I do regret not doing the glowplugs at the same time, already that...

    Ran Across This Van Today

    I'm more curious about the cars on either side of it. I see fins peeking out, what's hiding behind there?

    Fred the Van. The More We Explore's Adventure Van Build Thread

    Late to the party on this one but have been trying to get interior dimensions on fixed tops. Is that 74.75" measured from the steel floor to the unfinished top?

    Colorado Camper Van Review (CCV)- Buyer Beware

    So this is the first I've heard anybody say this about fixed high tops. Are these real world experiences or just opinions/conjecture? Asking because I've been holding my money in my pocket for close to two years waiting for a warm fuzzy on a CCV or for another option to appear but since...

    Opt Overland Pop-Top Reviews?

    Except getting any information on them seems to be a challenge. Makes me wonder if anybody has bought his top, if people who have them are to busy using a great product to check forums, or if people are unhappy and just not willing to share (although people don't seem to have a problem...
