    Need help from Florida guys.

    Thanks for the input guys. The rig is a American Red Cross response vehicle, with only 35k miles. He's my cousin in Mississippi, and he has about $500 in it. He has a side business (one of about 3,000 lol) where he buys salvage trucks with clean titles and fixes them to sale. He got that one...

    Need help from Florida guys.

    I have a friend who has an emergency vehicle I'm looking at. He got it at auction. It's a 99 E-450, VERY, VERY low miles on a 7.3L and a tall roof. Here's the problem, it has a certificate of destruction title. I've done some research, and can't find what I'm looking for. If I bought it, could...

    You're not gonna be able to rock crawl with them, but they're pretty solid.

    LOL, thanks. I get that and Storm Trooper a lot. When you own a 20 year old van, it tends to nickel and dime you to death. Prime example, the blower motor voltage regulator went out, and fried the plug. Pulled the lift and covered the spot with more flooring. Added aluminum trim so it...

    None of UJOR's fiberglass tops has a cage. Let me know how it goes!

    Yours probably has a roll cage between the two layers. My top came with a roll cage, I just didn't put it in. If yours was a handicap van, that's mandatory by law to have. You don't need it. There's plenty protection in the driver area with the cab top still in place.

    PREACH!!! It won't be the same once he's gone. It's nice living in Mecca. I'm 20 minutes from UJOR, 1.5 hours from Deal's Gap. FBI Dave ( if you know who he is) is a VERY good friend and is local. 10 minutes from roads better than Deal's Gap. Best motorcycle roads (on and off) in the USA. My...

    Went to Johnson City today. Snowy up top. As you can tell, I pulled the wheelchair lift out. Now she sits level.

    https://www.autoanything.com/nerf-bars/steelcraft-stx600-utility-boards $200. They're not heavy duty or anything. But they are solid. Doubt they can handle any real off road abuse. But what I plan on doing, they'll be fine.

    Small update. 1. Screw building my own nerf bars / running boards, I ordered some online. Too dang cold for all that. But I need them because the wife said so. She can't get in without them. 2. I had the failure with the EPBV valve from actually opening. Most of the time, when I gave it a...
