    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    That's why I'm going with a trailer for my bike and bike stuff. It's just easier. We started out Monday morning in NC. Made to somewhere between Kansas City and St. Louis. Stayed at a Walmart. Second night, we mad it to Badlands NP. Spent the night, and woke up to a amazing view. Then we...

    There is always a trade off with trying to have a comfortable place to sleep and carry a bike. I just said screw it and went full on bed. I'm going to either get a small enclosed trailer or a hitch hauler, or both.

    Leaving Monday for our around the USA trip, still have some small things to finish. Maybe even build a rear bumper. I bought a Skottle. They're the tits. Other than a good cleaning, it's done: Added a LED reading light and LED strip mood lighting: Almost ready to go. Almost.

    A mountain bike buddy of mine was good friends with him. Yoann Barelli. He posted it and I saw a pic of the van. Sorry to hear that about your buddy.

    Southwest Disk or Tembo Tusk Skottle?

    I'm going on a 3-4 road trip around the USA in 2 weeks. I own a Southwest disk, and decided to try the Skottle. I ordered one and it already came in. I'll be giving road reports with it ASAP.

    Not sure how accurate it is, but I was told by East Coast Gear Supply: New gear sets MUST be broken in correctly to prevent damage. Not following proper break-in procedures will lead to overloading and overheating the ring and pinion as well as breaking down and ruining the gear oil. Not...

    Thanks! I'm still plugging away at it to finish up for the trip. Bed and paint is in. Still trim left to do. And drawer fronts. Cabinet test fitted. Need to make some adjustments, but getting there.

    LOTS of trim work left. Most of the walls are up, bed frame built. I have to build a sink / cabinet, some drawers, paint, and trim work. Bed comes in Monday and I'll be putting it on the bed frame I got from Ikea.

    I went to Ford today to order headlight parts that got lost in the mail. They had all but a couple in stock. They said they keep them in stock because Ujoint orders them all the time haha. I'm waiting on headlight adjusters and I'm building a bracket for the hood latch. But I mocked everything...

    The other day I got on the interstate and the rear end started vibrating real bad. I was like oh boy, here we go..... Come to find out I either didn't tighten the driveshaft flange enough or something, but the bolts were loose. After some thread locker and a re-tighten, everything is running...

    I have a iPad 11 Pro, and just got a RAM Mount holder for it. Looking for a good place to mount it. Would love to see similar setups, or any for that matter!

    I don’t know. Just must be our crew vans then. They get used pretty hard.

    2020 Ford Transit AWD

    Don’t mean to sound like a negative Nancy, but have any of you guys (other than Chris) drove a Transit before? The A/C suuuucks. We drive the Transits at work and none of them have cold AC’s.
