Coach, are you saying 10mpg will be an improvement after gears/tires? I haven’t measured my Chinooks MPG yet. Was hoping it broke double digits stock...
68camaro, I didn’t realize you were on the chinook forum, too!
There’s a guy on there (dougm) who installed the weldtech but had issues. He even drove x-country to their shop to try to get it fixed. Not sure how it all worked out.

I’ve only had the chinook for a couple months. It’s gutted inside, so it’s a project that I haven’t quite had the time for yet. Check out the chinook RV forum. There’s a guy there who took his chinook on a winter ski area tour. Lots of snow and it did fine with the tires he had.
Check out the axle code in your door, you may already have a Dana 70 HD with limited slip.
My 2000 Chinook has the E2 code.

Wow, great work. Quite the refresh. Is the tweed fabric a standard auto/rv upholstery type of item?
I see there's a "step" down to the cab. Is that to allow clearance for the outside storage? My 2000 Chinook is flat from the cab all the way back, they just bolted the whole RV part to the frame...
ok... for 28k you think the owner would include pics of the inside, and write more than "2001 mitsubishi fuso 4x4 diesel 3.9L SPECIAL ORDER FROM DEALER, PLEASE CALL MITSUBISHI DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION, "
I have seen a Fuso around Portland that looks like this one. It's been a couple years...
I dig the small pop up tent on top for headroom in the upper bunk.
And I took the extra second to copy+paste a photo from the ad in case it disappears...
Well look who showed up on the ol' CL ambo search!

**Attention Van Police, this is titled as a VAN, so there...***
Yes! If I wasn’t working I’d buy your rig, drive it x-country, go on an epic summer/winter tour, then sell it here out west.
I think we just have more open spaces where an adventure-mobile is desirable, especially 4x4.
(I miss my minimod...)
Not mine, but it looks like you could make a great mini camper with it. Anyone know the manufacturer?
If I didn’t already have a full driveway I’d be driving over there...
