    2004 Ford E250 hitop ready for camping in Denver/CO

    SOLD Hi, i bought her early last year to do a 4 month road trip. Now I'm going to sell her as i want to downsize. She shows 115k miles on the clock but it's a bit more as I put MichelinLTX M/S2 235/85/16 on. These are ~31.7". The tires are still in great shape and they indeed run super smooth...

    Mercedes 407D Full Timer Build

    love that van - and it's color. i'm from germany. back then, you could see these vans a lot. used by the police as personnel carrier aka "Mannschaftswagen", the fire departments and just as yours as an ambulance. solid. enjoy.

    finally started with the floor. covered the bigger holes with butyl tape, the smaller ones with dabs of silicone. then made a template. cut strips of foam pad and tacked it between the ribs. put 2 layers of underlayment down and laid down the first board of plywood. before i put the plywood in...

    Another budget build (2WD)

    took plenty of stuff out from the inside. it was not fun. carpet, glue... ugh. tomorrow i'm gonna pick up cabinet grade (carb 2 compliant) birch plywood. cabinet grade because it's gonna be a oil/wax finish. no paint, no carpet.

    Another budget build (2WD)

    i figured that these fox shocks are not within my budget. found the bilsteins. a few guys at the sportsmobile forum pointed me that way. do i take the heavy duty or the comfort ones? considering my estimated "expedition" weight will be between 6500lbs and 7000lbs - and the wildest thing the van...

    Another budget build (2WD)

    thanks guys, bbasso, i like skinnies. originally i had 225/something/16 on there. the 235/85's brought the van up about an inch all around. removing the wheelchair lift, the trailer hitch and the rear bench (weighing 600lbs together) brought her up another 1/4 :) at the tightest spot, there is...

    Another budget build (2WD)

    yes, i think so too. always disliked these plastic attachments. it wasn't difficult to remove. they had brackets to the frame in the area of the steps. the rest just bolted to the rocker panel and the wheel wells. finally going to take the wheelchair lift out today. that thing weighs 400lbs...

    Another budget build (2WD)

    Alrighty, removed running boards and the stripes and put MichelinLTX M/S2 235/85/16 on. No lift yet as coloradocampervan doesn't seem to be motivated. I have my local mechanic do it. I will order the maxx kit (spacers and blocks). Can someone please point me to the caster correction thingie for...
