I still don’t understand how we ended up with “overland vehicle”. Somebody overheard me talking vans with someone else and asked me what my overland vehicle was. I told them I didn’t have one. He looked at me all confused then asked, didn’t you say you had a 4wd van? I said, I do. Was then asked...

^^^ totally agree. we purposely did a very minimal build, basically a bed then camped out if it for a couple of seasons. around 30-40 nights a year. the plan changed a lot from our original vision. we kept a list of things we deemed mandatory, wants, and easily live withouts. then life happened...

Vehicle isn’t in my possession so I can’t answer any of those questions, but I’ve forwarded this thread link to him and hopefully he will.

there’s some good trails up there if you’d like some local intel. Pm me if interested.

Search “nitty gritty rallyx” on fb. I think the next one is 8/9.

thanks whit! this was me fleeing an area where a storm blew in and trees were falling all around us. 10-15’ of a tree snapped off and landed 10’ in front of our camper. I just quickly loaded up and headed to a different area. that log was that weekend’s chopping block. was pretty late in the...

always loved those little scoots. how much does one weigh by chance? and to keep with the theme of the thread, a pic of the van with our little scoots.

Only info I’ve ever seen about their tops other than their website. https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f9/tufport-topper-questions-22068.html

Not the same style as the pic, but this guy sells some nice underfloor storage boxes. https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f37/aluminum-underfloor-storage-box-300-15-5-x15-5-x32-6108.html

Unless they’re under new ownership is it worth the risk? Again, possibly if I was close and could air my grievances in person when ignored by phone and email, but I’ve had custom work done in another state and got burned. It’s not worth the risk imo. I’ve had face to face conversations with 2...

lol, the atm wagons! ya they were fwd and had a push button 4wd with a sl option. theres one that must live close to me that is rattle canned black with at tires on it. might even be lifted. ive seen it a few times now. our civics have the sl gear too, but you cant choose when its in awd. the...

^^^ im pretty sure at least some did. i seem to recall fighting a second shifter from going up my ass riding ********** in a brat to a bmx race as a kid, lol. got a chance to watch the vid. really cool seeing that old suby out there, not really tearing it up, but taking care of business. thanks for...

didn’t those old school subys have a low gear?

Apparently not. There was a lifted Cherokee at the last one that was making me work overtime. Surprised me. honestly the taller rigs are fine once the surface is either watered down or churned. Nothing to adhere to, but I did hear his girl say that they got up on 2 wheels a few times. Sounds...

99 Isuzu rodeo with a possible rod knock/seize. I haven’t heard it personally, but wife said it won’t crank at all and owner heard a knock before he pulled over and checked oil, which didn’t register on the stick. Owner has joined the military and in the next 2-3 weeks will be shipped off to...

ive asked around but have yet to hear anything about them at all, good or bad. cl is always littered with the stuff their selling. they get a hold of quite a few nice vehicles. all out of reach for this poorboy though. they have been around for a while now. has to say something, especially for...

Always loved the troopers. Both posted look great! Is the older body style basically the same rig or were there significant changes with the newer body style? I see the old square bodies for sale from time to time and I really like the boxcar look. Are they worthy of a build?

^^^^ yep easy to find swivels in the salvage yards, but most of them seem to be for the 3rd gen vans. I’ve found 1-4th gen swivel and I look pretty often. ray (1der) has better prices than what you listed above and has provided many Ford van owners swivels including myself. Clink link below and...

Load up your van like you would for any trip, take it to a scale, and get specific weights for each axle. Provide info to agile and be done with it. They have custom valved fox shocks for the heavy e350’s. John worked at fox before he worked at agile and knows how to make these heavy rigs...

Imho, this is more of a question of your driving ability than the orientation of the drive wheels. I’ve gotten fwd vehicles to places some people couldn’t get a nicely outfitted 4wd truck. It’s more about the driver knowing their vehicle limitations than anything else. If you can judge those...
