^^^ totally agree. I miss all the forums I use to participate on. The amount of useful info still outweighs anything on fb, there’s just rarely any useful updates anymore :( that said, I ended up with a Fiamma F65s awning I can’t use. I believe it’s the 10.6 model. It measures right about 11’...

I didn’t have access to oem 16” wheels when I did mine, but the standard 16” alloy wheel you see on a lot of econolines woulldnt fit over the brakes on the 05 Sterling 10.5 I picked up. Had to go to a 17” wheel. regarding the front of your quigley. what axle are you running? I have the 03 f350...

Ok, hearing that scenario makes a lot more sense. First I’ve heard of the home alone tactics. Messed up crap. Sumbitches man, I swear. Sorry for your experience. Our van is diesel so it stinks either way, so can’t comment on if there’s stank or not.

Recent conversation on the smb forum that might help. https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f11/catalytic-converter-protection-29310.html ^^^ not the thread I thought it was. This isn’t it either, but I can’t seem to find the recent one that I thought had a few examples of what people are...

Haven’t seen much negative feedback about bilstein, but have zero first hand. Hopefully someone can pipe up with what’s worked good for them. might not hurt to reach out to weld tech either. They offer fox shocks for vans, but pretty sure the valving is just off the shelf. Haven’t heard anyone...

^^^ I’ve been using a similar rack setup for the 2 bikes we haul around. It’s about the best you can do if hauling 2 bikes (more options if you only need to carry one). The one thing I did was affix a turnbuckle from the rear tray to the bumper as an anti-rattle device on each side. Helped with...

Ramsey’s partner that worked at fox shocks when they developed the rip kit is who has run agile since he passed. He’s a smart cookie and has come up with even better valving for the heavy vans since taking over. I understand forgoing the econoline platform in favor of easier money but it’s...

posting for a customer of ours. i move it in and out of the shop daily and it is a really nice truck. im seriously surprised that our shop manager hasnt bought it as he is a 7.3 fan. only negative i see is the mileage, but anyone who knows these trucks knows that really isnt an issue when...

Loved those wheels. A-team van wheels! They were sold by a company called western and the model was called “cyclone”. Had a few sets of them myself. i’m curious who offers those newer ones as well.

my wife cried as our toyota drove away. i loved it too, but we just outgrew it. we dont miss the lack of space or setting up a camp. only hassle at all when we camp now is getting leveled and that typically only takes 5-10 minutes with erics rocks. yes our van is a 7.3 ps. originally we bought...

as long as you stay away from the Javier/crow conversions you see for sale you should be good 4x4 wise other than some of the older quigleys have had issues with the locating/control arms cracking. you don’t see a ton of info about them failing, but I have read where people find them cracked and...

Agile did at least one pair or replacements for someone, but never produced them for some reason. Any serious 4x4 shop should be able to make them for you but just the heim joints and tubing exceed what quigley is charging for their tubular replacement arms. The shop I work at will build me...

^^^ thats a nice setup.

That made me curious. Didn’t dig deep but first article I found said they stopped publication in 2016. I don’t even remember where I found a pic. Just a stumble. There’s more pix of it out in webland, but no clue how to find them. Might have a couple saved on the work computer. I’ll post’em up...

i tried that too. no idea what terrible word i used, but luckily the mods caught it before someone got covid from it or something. Thanks for posting the link rvflyfish ;) this is the thread for the trooper...
