    Z bed bracket kit?

    Hey there! Years ago, my dad built essentially a scaled up Zbed/bench in the back of my 82 E150. I'm thinking about recreating this setup, but am struggling to find the appropriate brackets. What I remember was the 2 moveable pieces rested in bench mode on some 3/4 ply, then when you pulled...

    Floating airbag setup

    Hello all! Looking for experience from anyone who is running either the ujoint cradle/airbag setup or something like the airlift 5000 with daystar cradles on a 6" lifted van. Are there any spacers required for that kind of height? Leaning towards the airlift bags because of the internal...

    SMB vs other 4wd systems

    Looking to replace my recently stolen 05 E350 Clydesdale conversion and have come across an 04 SMB with the Atlas tcase. Not sure what suspension components or axle is under the van as I am waiting on a request for more pictures. That being said, how does a SMB compare to a van that has been...

    6.0 bulletproofing

    I've been talking to several shops in my area and all of them seem to prefer removing the engine out the front of the van, instead of removing the body. Following UJOR, it would seem Chris would prefer the body removal option. Any pros/cons to either option? Anyone in the PNW have a shop they...

    05 E350 heat

    After a recent cold snap I've noticed a few things about the heater in my van. It takes a while to heat up, and that is with a new thermostat from Ford. When the Tuner shows engine temp @ 190ºF the heat coming out of the vents is luke warm at best, unless the engine is turning 1500rpm or...

    E350 Alternator options

    Hey guys, I have an 05 E350 with the 6.0 powerstroke. I've found the factory alternator to be a bit lacking in capacity and would like to upgrade. I know DCpower makes some upgraded units, but they've been out of stock as of late. What are some other options? TIA

    87 Quadravan Front axle parts

    Hey guys, I recently broke the drivers side axle ujoint on the front axle of my van. Can anyone point me to a place to find a parts list for these older rigs? Ever since pathfinder-vans went down, it seems tough to find the parts/part numbers required. I also need Front Rotors and Pads for...

    Old school winch power point?

    I am slowly working through all of the oddities of this van I purchased 8 months ago, and came across this set of plugs mounted on the radiator support. Any thoughts? Or where can I buy the male end of this thing? What would I even call it to Google? Thanks in advance. Randy

    Newly acquired 87 Quadravan

    Hello all, I recently purchased this rig for a steal of a price and now need to get it road (and more importantly off-road) ready. A few questions first, what is the largest size that fits on the Quadravans from the factory? How has lift been achieved on those that have? What else should I...
