    Spent 5 days on the road. I had to go to a training class. Ran the a/c all night every time, never plugged in. We were next door to NASA: NOLA, the local spots: Last night in the parking lot of the office:

    UJOR Box Truck

    Funny you ask. I just got the box truck weighed the other day. This weight is without 4WD. And there is a lot of weight on the rear. But once I add my air bag / 4 link rear suspension (DIY Kelderman setup), it will shift that weight forward a lot. I get 10 mpg. Doesn't matter if it's in...

    Ditched the old vinyl busted up seats for some new takeouts that are cloth. So freaking nice!

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Great looking rig. Did you know they make conversion kits for Hellcat superchargers to fit on the 6.0 Vortec? A used Hellcat supercharger is $2500, and the kit is $600. I'm not saying you need 600 more hp, but you need 600 more hp.

    Camped out in front of Jennifer Coolidge's house for Mardi Gras. Didn't see her tho. 2 blocks from the parades and it was quiet at night. Couldn't ask for better.

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    Prepping this rusty bastard that's been sitting beside the house for the last 2 years. I am using a rust encapsulator that is made for the marine industry, that you can only buy in South Louisiana. Once this cures, and it's painted, you can drop this in the bottom of a lake for a year and it...

    2003 E350 swap power windows and locks

    Ouch. That’s gonna be a tough fix. I found a donor van on fb marketplace. They are selling me the doors, and the SJB. I think my van is already wired for everything. If not, I will buy the harness from them as well.

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    Wife and I made a quick WNC trip. Just 5 days. I tested the Starlink and it works great. Trying to figure out a flagpole setup for the Starlink as well. Archetype Brewing for the night (Harvest Hosts): Lake Powhatan. Great spot, no power. But has water in each loop. Not at each site. The...

    2003 E350 swap power windows and locks

    Reviving this thread and it's bookmarked. I have manual doors, and windows. And in the process of hunting down 2 doors with everything I need. I did check the SJB and the fuse was missing for #F17 but the fuse was there for #F47. I will pull the SJB, just not today. And see if there is...

    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    The air bags I'm using are the same bags that Kelderman uses on their HD bag systems: https://vigorairride.com/products/suspension-system-for-bus-air-spring-trailer-air-spring-firestone-w01-358-5311-ridewell-1003585311c?_pos=1&_sid=5bf8970d5&_ss=r
