    Accrete, Your Cabinets are sooooooo close to what I have imagined in my head, love it!!! Now the hard part is figuring out how to do a set similar to that that is on a quick release type of system so the units can come out and large items can go in when needed as a utility vehicle, or come to...

    Dirt Baggers Unite!!!! I am just happy to have a bad mamajama of a 4wd van and have checked my wants and desires drastically. Last night the barrage of BS hitting the US political circuit made me realize that my van problems are sooooooo trivial yet it also provides to a great distraction from...

    Interior build costs...

    Voodoo, believe me I know what you are saying, I owned (or I should say it owned me) a high end contracting company for many years, and the spectrum of price varies widely. I understand that specialty items are just that, and that niche markets drive their own price, however, building simple...

    $$$$ Saving ideas I'm headed to Denver to help out a friend so going to take the opportunity to go to the RV junk yard :) and to also look at some bumper pull units that might make good parts donors, maybe I can pull enough parts to make it worth while then send the rest of it to the scraper...

    Nice work on the trailer Village!! I have come to the conclusion that it is best not to think about it so much, serious brain damage has been known to occur!! It is hard to put a price on the smile that my van puts on my face and even harder to account for the social interaction that takes place...

    Interior build costs...

    I know it's apples and oranges but I just can't help but compare/contrast what I have spent remodeling my last two houses, the cost per square foot is so lopsided. Oh well, I suppose these are all very much FWP's and most certainly a labor of love.

    Interior build costs...

    After doing a lot of noodling and doodling about how to build out a reasonably priced (read; MODEST) yet professional looking and more importantly functioning interior I have come to the conclusion that it is freaking ridiculously hard and unlikely to accomplish both goals. Looking at SMB...

    Blueford T Justice- 2006 E250 4x4

    It's all good, she is pretty used to me talking with seeming random strangers, or at least she acts like it :) I was just talking with Eric (drives the grey Sprinter) about your rig and how impressive the fab work is, truly awesome to see!! We are also both in agreement that a Western Slope...

    Blueford T Justice- 2006 E250 4x4

    One of the cool things about living in a small valley, especially one that only has one open car parts store on Sundays, is that you run into random strangers, not strangers, probably even more so when you have a nugget of a cool van like Lucinda. It was great meeting you, now we need to come up...

    Fred the Van. The More We Explore's Adventure Van Build Thread

    Glad you are keeping Fred, can't wait to see what you do for your high top, I am still and maybe more so than before on the fence about doing the Fibirine 30" adventure top. I thought I was dead set on the pop top but the practicality of the fixed top is hard to deny, damn all of the...
