    How did your penthouse top change your van?

    ^^^ having a top fall into your lap is something you can’t walk away from no matter where it came from should the price be right for you at the time. One option not mentioned so far you could consider is a roof top tent. Personally I like the clamshell style as they look very similar to our ccv...

    How did your penthouse top change your van?

    Like 86 said. prices have pretty much doubled, so this is 100% understandable. if I hadn't have gotten into the van game back in 2012, theres no way I could get into it today with how much everything has inflated. just no way possible. We camped 1.5 years in ours on a platform with no poptop...

    Glad you were able to get them. If I would have had your number like I thought I did I would have just nabbed them for ya while I was there but didn’t know if you had them already or not. Did you end up going out to the other yard while you were out that way? I ran into a buddy at the Nampa...

    Durango has died. The Pilot is moving up. Can it take it?

    Get a pyrometer and keep checking temps with that since there’s no real gauges to keep track of what you need to.

    Durango has died. The Pilot is moving up. Can it take it?

    Durango has died. The Pilot is moving up. Can it take it?

    I used to take our 89 awd civic wagon off-road often. I’ve had more than a few off-roaders in “real” 4wd vehicles ask me how the hell I got “that thing” up where they were. It was a little more raw of a awd car. No traction control or any fancy electronics, just a fwd based car with a viscous...

    Odd choice Overlander? Fiat 500x trekking.

    If you plan a rtt on it I’d say no. Those things are rollover mobiles as it is. The extra weight up high would likely make them pretty unstable on the turntable.

    Binky, the '92 7.3l 4x4 Econoline

    Penthouse pop top swap? Body swap? Suspension/4x4 swap?

    Numerous folks on the smb forum have completed penthouse swaps, and I’ve read about one gent who put a van body on a fseries chassis, but have yet to see where someone did a body swap. In fact when I see the idea brought up people usually squash the idea quick. No personal experience on a...

    '96 E350 barn door magnet holder?

    I have a talon and it’s awesome. Just don’t really use it much now that my hinge got all stiffy. It is starting to loosen up though. So can’t get rid of it. Glad to see I’m not the only one with van mysteries, lol. I still use a bungee to hold the 60 door open all the way still. Can’t have the...
