Pretty slick. I wonder how much it rattles going down the road folded in and folded open modes?

A white non peeling hood from a pick n pull or someone parting a van could be an inexpensive replacement. Doors as well depending on how bad they are peeling.

Adding to what was said here. Cranking arms down reduces the available downward travel which helps keep wheels in contact with the ground when going over bumps. If the arms are set to ride at the bottom of their travel to gain up travel and ground clearance there is a handling trade off which...

Looks like your having a lot of fun with this project. Will be cool to see some actions shots from its next phase in life.

I've been searching for the perfect camper van for 20 years and haven't found it yet. Owned a handful of them and they all have trade offs. Have you ruled out a truck with slide in camper?

This doesn't help you now but for future reference when insuring an unusual vehicle make sure the company knows its value when they are writing the policy. The annual premium will be a little more for a more valuable vehicle but you'll have a leg to stand on if something like this happens.

I'm posting this for a fiend. He's an old man and bought this truck new. Drove it for a bit and decided to buy a full size. Thanks for looking https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/seattle-2018-toyota-tacoma-trd-off-road/7089823682.html

I was thinking along these lines as well. You can get one cheap at harbor feight. Some type of flexible putty knife attachment or grind the teeth off and round the corners of the blade that comes with it. https://www.harborfreight.com/variable-speed-oscillating-multi-tool-63113.html

Are you asking specifically about MPG's for the AWD? For comparing apples to apples, It would also be good to know roof height and vehicle weight.

If I was a dealer, knowing that the AWD's will go quick I'd order a bunch. Seems like easy money but I don't know the ins and outs of the business either.

I've got a 2016 transit 150 diesel that I may part with. Cargo, low roof, 130" wheel base. 170k miles, has transmission issue. Drives great but doesn't shift right. Fairly clean, no wrecks, one owner, complete service records. Good year tires have 10k on them, no dings in windshield. Power...

Curious if your still chipping away on this project?

Here is another test with AWD cars on a roller ramp. I wonder how the Express AWD would do on the same ramp as the Transit in the previous post?

Does that model have upgraded traction control? Pretty good. Looked like 3 tires on rollers and 1 on slippery aluminum and got enough traction with one wheel to get moving again. Seems like a good test to approximate compact snow and ice on a moderate incline.

Looks like it has been a fun project!

Is that going to come out to around the same $ as AWD?

Rats! Just saw this. How was it? There are a lot of nice vans cruising around here.

Thanks. Put it free on CL and someone snagged it.
