    Transplanting a pop top?

    There are lots of ways to stiffen the remaining roof. Cut undersized hole and flange the metal or weld more steel in place for a flange are just two. I personally would want some kind of flange up just to act as a rain gutter for 100% waterproof interior even if parked on a hill.

    If you make a P trap, make it from rubber pipe so it is freeze-proof. Not something you normally need to think about in your environ, but you would be surprised how fast a trap will freeze when open to the outside like that even in a heated compartment. You also can put in a ball valve it...

    The holes already cut, but.... Some of the aftermarket billet fuel doors are complete with hinge, latch, and clamp-on mount.

    UJOR Build Thread

    Yeah, they are great if you can get them on the phone. That doesn't help Saturday morning stuck at a truckstop or small town parts store. Actually, a small town parts guy might be able to figure it out by looking at the part and recognizing it, but you know what I mean. Changing back to...

    Quigley needs to include a parts order sheet for all wear parts. Actually they should make it a permanent ID plate/tag attached to the van somewhere.

    The biggest issue seems to be the voltage drop on strike. My son's truck has the same lights, but not near the same grade install from the DPO (mine would be better than his but not as good as yours). He has to be high idle or better to get them to all strike. They will spike a ton of current...

    all 4 on the same switch/relay will be a good test for you electrical system. They will stress even your wiring when then all try to start at once.

    Real world mpg's on a Ford with a...

    I am 6-2 and the only thing I did to the corolla was RAISE the seat about as far as I could get away with for headroom. Made it much more comfortable. Used two layers of add-on seat cushions. But the old camry gets the same mileage as a corolla (at least the auto versions) so it is a better...

    Real world mpg's on a Ford with a...

    I hear you. I went to a ...double gasp.... corolla as my commuter. Cheap low miles with some body damage (knicknamed two-face to tell you the extent of it) that paid for itself in 3-4 months in fuel savings. The Ford 300 is the gasser equivalent of the Cummins. They can easily go 300k, and...

    Is that a fold-down cargo rack on the left side rear? I think I need to steal that idea...

    Woohoo Ecoboost and diesel Options for the new transit confirmed!!

    I don't know, they have been talking more tranny gears with the lows lower finally so it is effectively a low range.

    Thinking about security

    Fix the known issues, such as the stupidly easy to break into rear door (mounting a lock in a plastic insert, really???) and weak side lock retainer clips. Heavy window film is a good idea for lots of reasons. You can build crossbar locks for the back and side doors easy, and they can be...

    Transformer seating solution

    It would probably be best to mount at the same width and make a storage box/cabinet to match up with the wheel well. So do they seat 4 when down?

    Transformer seating solution

    COOL What is the floor width left between the wheel wells? Are there seat belt provisions? What about making two rows that line up to lay out as a king size bed?

    A strap may look ugly, but way better than replacing the shroud after it stagedives off the freeway.

    Ford E350 7.3 Ambulance vs. EB Cargo Van, which one to buy and convert to 4X4 camper?

    You can get the F450 center jump seat console (with integrated seatbelt) that can be made to fit there, if you don't want a passthru. Or minivan jump seats from Odyssey's or Sienna's work well, too; but are pretty narrow.
