The rain shut me down for work, so I worked on the van :) I installed 3/4 rigid insulation on the roof and the upper half of the walls. I glued it on with adheisive and then sealed all the joints/seams with foil tape. What a huge difference in the noise level, no more echos and metal sounds at...

I was looking through the site and started thinking (that can be dangerous) I'm entertaining different ideas for a pop top. I came up with an idea and was wondering if anyone else had thought of this or had any ideas. What about a VW westfalia pop top put on a ford van..... what do you think ...

Derek I know you make the tops and I was wondering if you have taken a look at Bajabus's orange van. I like how the top is low profile have you ever thought of or can you build low pro's like that/. I actually like the idea of reusing the cutout ford top it would save on expense...... Thomas

looks nice

The fuel fuel filter was the first thing I tried but it was a no go. I just bought the van so not knowing anything about past up keep one just has to guess as to when anything was done to it. All said and done when I have to do it again I will be able to do it quicker as I put anti sieze on the...

Time for some interior work. This is the front area, leaving this as is for now. [/IMG] It came with this weatherguard sliding box, I was going to mount it so it would open up at the back but figured it would hinder putting anything tall inside so I will leave it here. This is where the...

That looks beastly huge... how much is it going to weigh when done, not counting the winch.

so..... I found this guy on another site who was giving away 7 tires for free they were BFG Rugged Trail TA 265/75 R16 and they still had a real good amount of tread left on them. He just wanted them out of his garage but I had to take all 7. I said no problem as my van needed 4 AND a spare and...

Justin.... My van is a 2001 and has the old school small rectangle headlights and I notice yours is a 97 and has different headlights (which I like better by the way) did they come with that year or did someone upgrade to a newer year?.Do you or anybody else know if those are from a newer than...

Come to a light and it idles crappy. So I came home pulled the engine cover and started looking to...

got all the plugs in but now I can feel and see a miss and the SES light came back on during the test drive. I replaced 5 of the 10 coil boots going back to the store to pick up 5 more hopefully thats why it is running rough. The ones I left on were soft and flexable with no cracks or anything...
