    2wd - camper/mtb race build

    I brought this eurovan home the other day. I'm going to use the top for my van, and am parting out the rest to recoup some costs. It's been a chore getting all the parts removed to have access to the raw cut measurements of the VW. Now the issue is making the contour of the roof of the ford...

    First post. looking for minivan advice

    vans FYI ive owned both a honda element and now own a ford e250 regular body. The honda got terrible mileage(for a 4banger), 16-19mpg in real world driving without the ecamper top. They are very box and the wind really hurts. We could bring all our bikes and gear but that included putting a...

    2wd - camper/mtb race build

    I did not install the window, it was there when I bought it. It's a ford stock window, I think they just looked at a stock window van hole and cut it in with those measurements. It fits well, and doesn't leak, though it is not indented like it would have been from the factory. It looks right...

    2wd - camper/mtb race build

    So I posted a pic a few days ago, and now I might as well start a build thread. I bought this van about a year ago. And I've been slowly adding things to it, and mulling over what I want it to end up like. After reading so many threads here and in another forum a lot of ideas start to fill...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    They are 17" wheels and duratrac 265/70/17 tires. The lift is a little under 2" up front and a 2" block in the rear. new springs up front will probably get me that extra little bit to get it level. As it sits this is the largest duratrac that would fit. it also still drives fine, meaning that...
