What engine? how many miles on the chassis? What are the details on the engine rebuild?

@ujoint What undercoating did you apply to the MN van?

@Weldtec Designs I think many people over on the Transit forum have a question about the CV joints binding at full droop. At least according to Van Compass, the reason their 2" lift kit is designed with a 1" spacer and a stiffer coil to achieve a total of 2" lift is because with a 2" spacer...

Not mine but looks solid...

Awesome, thank you Chris! Looks like maybe you lose 2-3" of the opening on either side.

Hopefully this is an OK place to ask this! @ujoint, @UjointoffroadCO, or anybody with a UJOR rear bumper - Does anybody have any video or photos of how far the rear doors can open with the UJOR rear bumper installed? Trying to plan out some rear storage solutions before the van is built, but...

I think either should be fine for your use case. Usually the biggest deciding factor I see mentioned is the ability to convert to 4x4. While it's possible on both, most seem to prefer the Fords for that purpose. I think both of the brands' drivetrains are fairly well known and reputable. If I...

Awesome! We need more details and photos! How far of a drive do you have ahead of you? No advice specific to road tripping in a cargo van, other than the fact that most cargo vans aren't quite up to snuff on the creature comforts as most modern passenger vehicles. So be prepared for more road...

That seems to be the general sentiment :LOL: But I'm the kind of guy that likes DATA so I will certainly be recording mine, despite how much pain it will cause me. There's a few good data points on the SMB forum as well...

To expand on this, there is an IG user I follow who runs a 6" UJOR kit on a sliding door van. He is running the wheel spacers and has installed a sliding door hinge extension, but is running a narrower 285/75R17 tire. The last photo in the post linked below shows the tire rubbing the inside of...

I found this video very informative showing the internal workings of the various popular limited slip and locking diffs.

Regarding your need for a back seat, I specifically searched for a passenger E-series because I didn't want to have custom fabricated seat and seatbelt mounts for my kiddo in the back. However, now that I finally found a passenger van I am realizing that the seating options are pretty limited. I...

Love when the OP follows up with the solution!

Looks like they have one with a 12ft box and single rear wheels for $22k. Would you mind sharing what you paid for yours? Feel free to DM me if not comfortable sharing on a public forum. I honestly would have expected them to be much cheaper than that, but what do I know. Maybe these have been...

COOL BUS!

One more vote for State Farm. Haven't had to use them yet but were agreeable to whatever value I told them the van was worth as long as we could provide photos. They didn't ask for receipts. Haven't had to actually USE the insurance yet...

FYI even the post-2009 gloveboxes are very small. There's a dedicated slot for the original owners manual packet, and then a tiny storage area that is basically a flat platform with no lip, meaning you can't toss a bunch of junk in there like I tend to do.

What's the current mileage on the truck?

Awesome price and awesome rig! Clean V10's are so hard to find.

And what top is it? Doesn't look like either a CCV or SMB
