I'll play. Ive built both and i have always said the sprinter is a much better looking van. proportions on the transit are just weird, like a sick guppy. ground clearance is kind of perceived. sprinter for sure has better approach/departure and breakover since the body is raised and bumpers just...

My client added towards the end of the build that he would like some kind of roof top deck, mostly for easy snow removal first and foremost (is illegal to not remove snow remember--one of my big pet peeves). secondary ease of loading a kayak and third would be sunset cocktails. Never really been...

Alright, i didnt update very much--because this was a customer build and maybe underestimated my timeline. in my defense, they added a lot that was not originally planned and i never changed my goal delivery date that i set for myself that still allowed me some buffer. SO, i never really had...

9,500 GVWR body codes / W2C, W2X, and W3U are the only 3 body codes its available on, those are 350/1 ton. 148 mid roof long, 148 hi roof long, 148 hi roof extended

price released now, $12,620 so kind of premium. i 100% agree, nothing to appealing past the factory lift and wider offset wheels. i think the fender flares are lip stick and butt ugly, and "slider style steps"==um just make em real sliders. then being forced to fixed glass slider door--all turn...

well, i stand corrected (and owning up to it-ha) trail package was released today but pricing is not available yet. im still jaded they have the balls to offer a new model when i have had an ordfer in for 3 model years over 21 months and its still not scheduled. that and order window for 23 is...

as for lifts, 2" is kind of the max with how short the passenger side CV is. Quigley Q-lift achieves a 2" lift by dropping the sub frame (leaving cv axle less effected). Van Compass achieves it with a spacer and longer spring. WeldTec makes new lower control arm but details have been spotty at...

sticker doesnt say anything, see attached of 1 of the 3 (all pretty similar). i did remember this thread from way back in august that listed each option its the "exterior appearance level 3" that is still the question. but it appears to be just a grill. maybe ill be surprised. Transit Trail...

because they are going out to "show", so window sticker is accurate. wheels in the teaser are "matte black sparkle" alloys which are already an option for 2023. but the really weird thing is the order bank for 2023 COVP customers has been closed for weeks already. dealers can still order stock...

taken from actual window sticker of 1 of 3 early prototypes of the "trail package". nothing about it screams "overland", let alone game changer. its just a trim package of popular ordered options already available. no lift, no upgrade suspension, no bigger tires, nothing other than some amber...

hows this for some details..using what is normally wasted space (and yes, still enough room for insulation behind) its fun when things go together for the last time

1/4" but spaced out for air flow so wall thickness is 1/2" total

are you asking about the fabric or the wood? im still building and need structure behind the walls for bunk beds etc so havent upholstered the panels yet, but will be Tweed fabric that meets the FMVSS-302 fire safety requirements (most people dont seem to care about the rules....) but the wood...

the shop supervisor spends way to much time making sure wiring is clean and neat. The awesome Redarc Manager 30 battery management system, love it and use it pretty much exclusively with nothing other than quality Bluesea components and this might be the worlds strongest Lagun Table mount...

been a while since i shared anything, here are some updates. im in full on insulation and wiring mode now, things that are not ver "instagramable" everyone needs a winch in the ceiling for solar installs, i actually used it to install a body onto a chassis of a karmann ghia once.....

progress report. i need to determine the pretty exact location of the beds so i can cut the bunk windows which is why i wanted to get walls built first for best educated guessing. then ill be done with metal work and can do a floor finally (always hate working on the uneven floor)

remember, i used to be a "graphic arts profesional"--could make a sticker even better than the "official" one
