    Econoline 4x4 Ujoint/MG Coil Kit w/ Axles

    I've been sitting on this waiting for the right van, but ultimately pulling out of the Econoline game for now. This is the last coil kit from Ujoint, which is a 2013 Super Duty axle machined and with a bracket for crossover steering, paired with MG Metalworks brackets. If you're in the rock...

    WJ Ute - camper?

    So, I have been eyeballing my WJ in the garage and the Smyth Ute conversion. I chatted with Mark the other day, and he thinks a reasonable payload would be ~1k lbs. A composite body camper for a 5' bed is listed in the 525lb range. 475 lbs for people, dogs, gear, water, will be tight, but...

    Econoline Body Flares

    For those taller than 5'8" or 5'10" and looking to sleep sideways in your van...introducing the flares from Flarespace. I reached out to these folks late last fall/early winter about some Econoline flares and they said things were in the works. I'm fortunate enough to be in the same town as them...

    06 E-350 with 6.7 Cummins + Allison

    Wanted to start a thread for the beginning of what I hope is a pretty fantastic project, starting from an interesting base. I know the wife and I are both pretty stoked. The backstory is that I started my search for an E-350 about a year ago. Doing my due diligence on the drivetrain options, I...

    Composite box on E350?

    Poking around, I don't see anyone that's done a composite body/box on a van platform, specifically and E350. I really like the passthrough of a van plus the efficiency of the van cab packaging vs the long engine bay of a truck. I could always just get a box truck, but a composite box has much...

    SOLD: 2005 60k mile EB 350 V10 with Camburg Goodies

    After spending several months hunting a unicorn - a low mile, rust free, 05-06 (no RSC), EB V10, I've come across another unicorn that has my attention more so. This example has lived it's entire life just outside of Los Angeles until I brought it to CO in April of this year. It's an XLT so it...

    Dumb thought of the day - Astro Tiger body on an Express?

    Saw a Tiger on the road this morning and it got my gears turning - I see the Toyota guys graft the older Chinook campers onto more modern trucks somewhat regularly. It doesn't look easy, but they get through it. You'd have to accommodate for the longer wheelbase and door placement, but could you...

    Chevy 155" LWB Off Road

    I was pretty set on the Ford 4x4 path, even already have a van (still 2wd), but a potential deal popped up locally as a turnkey rig with the 6.0 and already 4x4 (IFS, not SAS), plus some goodies. I had shied away from the Chevy's based on wheelbase and turning radius...but does anyone have any...

    Ford 7.3 - any reason to not get one?

    Getting close to sealing a deal on a van. It has the venerable 7.3, highly regarded for sure, but also rather old school. About 175k miles on it. In this day and age with these engines being 20+ years old, is there any particular reason to avoid them? I really don't mind regular PM or the...

    Transit on Expo Trails?

    Been posting sporadically here lately, figured it was due to introduce myself. At the moment I have a 96 FZJ80 up on 37s with 4.88s and ARB lockers and an eTDI swapped 2wd high top Vanagon that I'm looking to condense into a single vehicle (both for sale if anyone's looking). I am leaning hard...

    Modifying existing 4x4 conversion vs starting from scratch

    Looked at a pretty nice van this weekend - 97 E350 V10 EB with all the spark plug inserts done, fresh full exhaust, trans rebuilt w/ some HD components, it wasn't white, and it had a 4x4 conversion from Advanced 4x4. The current owner bumped the front axle up to a dana 60 (with a rebuild) and...
