I’ll add that 4wd is primarily a winter thing for me. I live in Oregon and use it a lot in snowy road applications. Once summer hits, I almost never need it. And I still go off road a fair amount.

These guys know what they are talking about and I mostly concur. ive had both Ford and Chevy but only in the short wheelbase of both and both Quigleys. If the shorter wheelbase works for you, I’d say go with the GM van with the G80 factory rear end especially if you can live with 2wd. The 6.0...

Well done! I’m a big fan of those truck wheels. Should be reliable and capable rig for you.

If you already have the 3” lift then adding some reindexed keys for the torsion bars would be the next step. I have the Maxxcam ones and they can get you another 1-2”.

Good looking rig. It’s pretty standard and not a big deal to relief out that small inner fender. It’s just fiber glass and comes away easily with a Dremel or grinder of some sort then you should be set. You may also need to carve out a little from the body mount that is right right back there as...

Of course! RandallDee, my brother in law may be selling his. If you’re looking PM me and I can put you in touch with him.

GM Duramax vans get the 6L90 transmission, or at least started to once they went away from the 4L80 which was I think around the time they went to the newer LML based LGH engine code. The downside of this is yes, that motor then got more emissions equipment added to it so you could look and see...

Wasatch installs Tufports I believe. Haven’t heard about the outfit in Wa state but would be interested to.

The theory would be that the body lift would allow for clearance for larger tires, but if that is the cost for it and obviously if it doesn't allow for more tire clearance then....

Have you looked into a body lift for some extra clearance? My understanding is that Ford is doing a body lift from the factory on the new Transit Trails so should be doable in some capacity.

I love everything about it, nice job!

Quigley has always been great about sharing part numbers and sending me the diagrams etc. They may upcharge a lot on some parts direct from them but they’ve never held me captive so to speak and I’ve gotten a lot of parts when need much as you did.

I like bottle jacks. I have a think a 4 ton bottle jack from the local farm and ranch store along with fittings for the top of it from Safe Jack that can cup and hold the frame or axles as well an extension.

Inspiring work so far, keep it up!

Thanks again Scott!
