this is a hard one for a small unit like a Transit. Having the 2 front seat swivelling create such a bigger lounging room in already very small unit. To cut it off and put a door make things a lot smaller. I would think we are only 1 ''super curtain'' away from having the best of both...

it s definitly leaf spring and rated for around 9500-9900lbs. not sure of the break down on this unit tho?! But this transit platform can be made for a rating of up to 11200lbs so decent payload in transit.

it all depend on the insulation technic used. It would be very easy to insulate well with foamboard and make sure there is zero thermal bridging and you end up with a amazing 4 season unit. This company is in lethbridge alberta.... it get brutal cold winter... my gut tell me this thing is well...

while i dont have a Ekko...i had a transit 350HD dually for 3.5 year going offroad a lot during that time as my main camping/adventure van. The dually was awesome, i never really pick up rocks and for stability, it was so much ahead of the single rear wheel that made it driving way more fun. So...

i live right next to the Rockies and drive many passes every month. the 3.7 does it very well on a 10 000lbs vehicle. yes... you dont go up the pass at 70mph... but there is no issue going up, taking your time and hanging out with the 18 wheelers. I m never in a hurry with a full house on...

i have own both the 3.5 ecoboost and the 3.7 NA engine both on Transit 350hd dually so every rig vs what you will get. The 3.5 is a sport car like van...so fast..so fun.... get bad mpg if you use the boost but very good if you drive it slow and gentle 3.7 is solid simple engine that as less...

i went a little overboard on the windows and light on insulation but.... should be useable one day!

if you do a search for spacelap on here...you will find tons and tons of reading from many of us that have done campers using them. it s fun and easy project. and if you are in canada, it s easy to find them used for cheap!

amazing pick! national monument!!!!! I really hope i will be done on time next year to go to overland expo with my oldest daughter! Never been and on my to do list!!!

this build is amazing!!!!! a question for you if you dont mind?! i m at the stage of ordering the sikaflex and primer sika flex for a structure of similar size as yours. if you had to guess, how many tube of 310ml sikaflex did you use? and how much ml of sikaflex primer? thanks!

how much sika flex 207 primer did you need? also, what s the plan for joining the pannel inside?!

yes aluminum to aluminum. i wonder if epoxy would be better? i always though that aluminum and epoxy were not a good idea together. but not sure where i heard that. i send a message to Reily and courtney at 'Ambition strikes'' to confirm there process, i m doing exactly the same build technic...

did they tell you why 221 over 252? i see those 2 seems very close and interchangable. but i m hearing the same from many..spacer so the glue tickness is good..

yep, van compass as a video showing the trimming needed for the 265/75/16 that is the same heigh tires but wider. The good news is once i m done with the lift.... i need to trim a lot less then what VC recommend as i will be a 3'' higher then there normal topo lift. looking forward to fit them...

so far...only know of Everlander as having used primer 205 for sikaflex. I m doing the same build technic as Ambition Strikes and like you.... they wire brush the aluminum and whipe clean with alchool right before the vhb tape and sikaflex.

interesting! i know sika flex and even other brand recommend primer like sifaflex 205 but not always easy to source and i see so many build so far and no one does the primer part but 1. i m just curious why....or the difference of strenght

sorry for such late question that send you back to page 1.... but i m getting ready to put the box together using the same way as you did! did you use any primer on the aluminum angle before applying sika flex or just straight on them? i reread and full thread and take notes but didnt see...

a late question to your build but do you know how much glue (sausage or tube) did you use for the complete build of the box? i think you mention ordering extra afew times but how much total do you think you used? thanks

when building one of those, how many tubes of glue is needed to complete the project? i need to get on ordering!

you are right...i didnt think of the lift and change in shock lengh. i will definitly need to relocate the lower mount to a higher place to compensate for this. I have shock that are made for a 2'' lift but not for 5''+
