How do you like those retreads? How many miles have you put on them?

33" x 10". I'm also a fan of tall and skinny. Loved 255/85 on my Isuzu Trooper and 215/85 on the Tracker.

31.5" x 10.39" rubs on a van where 31.6" x 9" didn't. Again, the width is the issue.

Being mindful of vehicle balance and weight distribution during a build can make a big difference in traction and weight transfer. If you have a heavy battery bank, water tank, etc why not put it where it helps you instead of where it hurts? And for sure don't put all the heavy stuff on one side...

That's a 30.5 x 10.3 tire.

Several things: First, 235/75-16 probably isn't your actual tire size. More likely that you have 15" wheels. Why? 15s are OE for your van and a 235/75-16 would be 29.8, not 28.9 inches tall. Second, the wheel arch shape clears 235/85-16 as OE on E-350 vans with only minor differences in...

Use the backup light power from the tail light to close a relay grounding the signal wire. The relay terminals 85 and 30 would be grounded, 86 would reverse signal coming in (from tail light), and 87 would reverse signal going out (to receiver).

Be careful. The D250S has a maximum input voltage of 23v. Most solar panels designed for charging 12v systems will produce a maximum voltage of ~22v. I've not seen a maximum input current rating for the D250S but a single 100w panel should be around 5.5A so two panels in parallel (to keep...

I think the smart pass is your shortest path to a full charge. A little solar (being mindful of the D250S' modest input capability) would be a huge step in that direction.

Looks great. If it was in someway self-supporting, the folding table wouldn't be needed. Maybe a built-in folding leg(s) on one end and attachment to van body or door on the other?

In other words, your house batteries (Odyssey 31M-PC2150) never fully charged. If they had, the charge voltage would've been reduced (from your observed 14.8 constant) when the battery moved from absorption charging to float. The D250S charging program can be viewed in the product manual...

The rubber boots in that youtube video would be a major concern for me. Degradation due to UV exposure plus all the flexing they have to do (in 3 directions) plus that under-mounted brace hitting the roof while in motion and the extra holes for the bracket...that looks like a nice idea that...

2006 e-150 has the "big" dual-piston calipers. The only reason they'd hit 16" wheels is if the wheels were especially bulbous on the backside. They came with 16" wheels as OE.

I've looked into it myself. The rear springs are 2.5" wide on 150 and 3.0" on 250 and 350. The rear spring shackle hanger is the same, front spring hanger different, shackles differ. Then you've got a different driveshaft, ujoints, transmission yoke, u-bolts (not recommended that they be...

I've assembled most of the parts but haven't used the whole system. None of it is installed in the van. A wall/window/flooring revamp must come before the water system and I'm waiting till Spring to strip the van. I got the tempering valve specs from another build thread and several users have...

Original equipment is the Ford 8.8". Lots of differential options available.

This is full of jokes. Or ignorance
