    He he. No one will disagree that a lifted 4x4 van is one of the most bad *** looking rigs on the road and its fun as hell to charge up a hill or through some sand in 4WD. I bought my 2002 E350 7.3 Quigley 4x4 with under 100k miles for $12k. Granted I wasn't super happy with their suspension...

    Looking at a 4wd van, need some advice

    I've never seen weight rating associated with rims. That is not to say that some aren't stronger than others. I would assume that any rim with 8 lug nuts should exceed the weight rating of any E rated tire. The problem with aftermarket rims is that most of them have a shallow back spacing and...

    Several years ago I bought my 96 Northern lite "Light" for $5k. It needed a little work. It had leaked at one time back by the door and the plywood floor got spongy causing the fiberglass to crack in a thin spot by the back door. When looking at a used fiberglass camper, get up on the roof and...

    This is gold right here. How much offroading do you currently do in a 4WD vehicle? 4x4 vans are mostly handy when you need to do a lot of snow driving. Unless you need to tow heavy, small block V-8's are the best. Better fuel economy and cheaper annual maintenance. If you look at a rig with a...

    DIY van insulation - success stories?

    You might just try covering the windows first. I cut reflectix panels to match the shape of the windows in my van and stuck them on using Velcro with pressure sensitive adhesive tape (PSA). If you have bare sheet metal, another good way to attach curtains and such is with little high powered...

    Looking at a 4wd van, need some advice

    If it has a slider door. Wider tire's might interfere. If it's barn doors, you could put larger tires and fender flares. Looks pretty good on that rig.

    2014 Express AWD cargo van PNW 4 season camper

    It could very well work then. I looked for an exploded assembly view of the fuel system on your van but didn't find anything but a few pics of fuel sending units. If you don't find anything definitive, one option might be to drop by the dealer parts department and have them pull up a schematic...

    2014 Express AWD cargo van PNW 4 season camper

    Nice thread. I'm slowly building an 06 GMC Savana AWD just to the north of you. I did the Webasto install on my old Quigley 7.3 diesel E350. For that application, the system used a pickup tube that mounted in the top flange of the fuel tank's sending unit. to install I dropped the tank, pulled...
