Yeah I like that one. I watched it awhile back so I didn't rewatch the whole thing. But, there aren't a lot of box van builds detailed on youtube yet, so I should probably watch a few more so I can get some ideas.

https://youtu.be/VWB9YApwYMw I think I just had an idea. So I want to cut a doorway into the side of the van to get in and out because the latches on the rear doors can be locked from the outside, and therefore a person could be locked in against their will. However, a man door cut into the...

I was going to wait to sell my Motovan until the Grumman had a new floor, windows and paneling. However, I've really got way too many vehicles and projects going on. With Gertrude the Motovan sitting here, I'm just tempted to go off and play. I need her out of sight and off the fleet list. I...

Sold for $3900.

The internet has been saved! Hallelujah!

A couple weeks ago I had a mountain biking trip planned with my brother. We were going to meet up near Anthony Lakes Ski Area and camp in the vans. The night before, as I was packing my stuff into Gertrude, she sprung a pretty good coolant leak out of the heater core. I couldn't find an easy...

I had always planned on doing the bed in the cab over, but I need to do some measurements and use a bunch of blue painters tape to get a visual on the layout. It might work better to use that area for storage and build the living space farther forward to fit everything in. Then, have a read...

I really like those examples of the side steps. I think I'm going to go with an automatic electric step. Probably 2 or 3 steps. I have one on my Motovan and while I thought it was goofy when I first bought the van, it's turned out to be super reliable and necessary. The power to it stopped...

Looks good.

Yes it probably needs both. At this point, I'm leaning towards a 265/75-16 up front, and 235/85-16 on the rears. I would either go 4WD with the MG Metalworks kit, or stay 2WD and go with WeldTec Designs Baja Grocery getter kit. The plush riding WeldTec suspension is what I need and want 90% of...

It's 10'2" tall right now.

I believe it's the 4.63 stamped on the tag, although that seems like an odd ratio. Gertrude has the WeldTec Designs Octillo Cruiser kit. It's pretty awesome.

I didn't know I needed to tighten the screws for my fan overtime. I'll have to check on them.

Many of us have gone through a vehicular evolution as our budget and interests change. Before I go into what the plan for this build is, I'd like to take a short, pictorial stroll down my ExPo vehicle memory lane. My first 4x4, a 1986 Ford Bronco with a 302 H.O. and EFI when I was a college...

Plenty of fans installed with butyl tape stacked up. Will you be able to see it when you're done? Roof top lounge chairs?

I'm so jealous of that awesome wrap!

That's good info Brian, thanks.

Sakurama, unfortunately the Ford vans are pretty easy to break into, and the methods are well known by thieves. Probably because there are so many of them parked on the streets every night with lots of valuable tools that are easy to sell. It might be worth considering some additional security...

True, but he was referencing my 97. Or at least the pre 99 I asked about.
