So I broke 2 leaf springs on the the driver side while heading home in Baja last summer, the only one left was the primary, didn't want to risk it, so I had a guy down there replace one of them with some spring he found in his personal junkyard. When i got back I knew I need to replace so I...

So stoked to see that photobucket is back to showing the photos again, hopefully this thread can be useful again now that the photos are back up. As for my truck, it is still doing its thing with 270,000 now. My family now even bigger with two kids and dog are still traveling and camping...

Photobucket says "No More Pictures" So evidently, photobucket has decided after 10 years of showing my photos they don't want to do it any more for free, they want a small fee of $300 a year to allow other people to see my photos. I guess this is refereed to as "third-party hosting"...

Toyotech: Its attached in two spots: one is just fitted to an existing bolt for attaching the bed to the frame and the other is a bracket I welded to the frame a while ago to use a rack suppot, you can see the later most of the pictures. That full side fold down is so tempting, there is so...

got er' in. Got a locking latch . . . Put some Herculiner on it, and it was ready . . . Happy . . . So stoked to finally have a on board air system . . . that chrome piece behind the quick disconnect is the switch to turn it on, just pull down on it. The system filled my...

mtnkid85 Yeah I have been wanting to build some tool boxes there for so long also, its amazing how much space is under there. This is going to be a tool box/shelf for the compressor. p.s. I think I decided to just make a heat shield for now to protect the switch.

Soo..... So still haven't decided whether that pressure switch is too close to the exhaust pipe, was kinda hoping for some educated opinions from here. Hello? anyone out there? So in my deliberation with that I decide to move over to mounting the compressor, then my inner expo member came out...

Back at it. Alright so I need some help. I have been getting things setup for a trip down south in a couple weeks, and I purchased a few things. Bilstens went on no problem. So for the 'on board air' setup I separated the compressor from the tank. The compressor is going to be fitted up in...

Still rolling strong Toyojay: Yeah, funny I have been thinking lately I should update with some of my newer modifications. I'll be doing some more real soon cause I have added another member to the family and we will be doing a 2 or 3 week trip though baja this spring. 02rangeredge: Haven't...

All Done! Here is some photos I took, all done with this one, on to the next. Enjoy

Lets finish er' up Thanks Amphibeast glad your stoked on it. Sorry for the long hiatus, but here how I wrapped up this build. So starting from where I left off. The "side table" was removed and painted and all panels were clear coated which really started to make things look good. Before I put...

Stoked to have inspired you, especially for trips down south of the border. I am actually getting back on it, finally doing some more modifications to the truck, the first in a long time. I am going to be going on a couple big road trips this year. I'll be sure to put some updates on the thread.

Progress One last thing I did before I sent the pieces in for upholstery was I fabricated up some car seat anchor points out of 1/4" solid rod. I also setup spots for three sets of seat belts to bolt into, not pictured. An this is what I got back from the upholsterer. Pretty happy with it...

The Bed System Okay so before I dove into the fold-down sofa bed I decided to put down some linoleum floor in both the front and back. Before I did the back though I attached an aluminum edge to protect the edge of the false floor because that edge is going to get beat up. I made it out of...

Progress Sorry for the long delay in posts but I have been super busy working on the van. I’ll start where I left off. The Drawer: I built the drawer, the outside walls are ¾ all the rest is ½ ply. The inside is all laminated with some bamboo looking laminate. It is kinda divided into...

Seat base Got started on the bench seat. This thing is going to be a little tricky. I need the seat to be no more than 20” wide or else it won’t be comfortable to sit on, and I need it to sit just in front of the slider door when open so that the drawer and pull out, which then sets my bed...

Some progress Okay so I am starting to get some progress done now that I have a plan on the interior build out, I think that this is going to be the best solution for the needs and wants of the owner that I listed before but here they are again. - First and foremost is seating in the back...

Swivel seat & problems So I got two of these boxes on my door step. I ordered them from shop4seats.com. Thought the install was going to be a piece of cake and only take a few minutes. Which it was for the passenger side. Then I pulled the driverside seat and low and behold the first...

Interior start So here is the interior before I started. It basically just had a big bed with some storage for plastic bins underneath. It worked for a while but really does not let him use any of the space his van provides. It was basically just a traveling queen size bed, which really...

2005 2500 Low Top 118” wheel base Sprinter Van. So here is what this project started out like, this is the smallest sprinter van you can get. Looking a bit like a really nice ice cream truck. I thought I would start a build thread, mostly because I am running into some issues and have some...
