Dude you nailed it !!!
I have been searching for someone to build lower arms to fix this very issue and was about to juat mig it up myself.
So cool and I will be reaching out to ordee these.
I will show them to Quadvan when I am up there in Sept getting my front Eaton Trutrac swapped to an ARB...
Glad I ordered the Badlands in Orange with 33s and the 2.7 as I would like that kind of mpg on my travels.
Thanks for the updates and keep'em coming!!!
After installing Scheel-mann seats in my Transit I will always put them in future projects.
I have a bad back, messed up hip and am an amputee. The ability to adjust and change things vastly improves my comfort and enjoyment offroad and on long highway slogs.
Even the dogs fight to sit up front
I use SensorPush which seems like the same design
I run 5 of them, 3 in my big humidors (wine coolers converted) and 2 others that rotate around in my van and other places I am curious.
I love that I can see all from the same screen , and the data logging means I can look back over the course of...
That looks just like the SensorPush units I have been using for a few years...
I love the data logging in my humidors and I have been using a couple of them in my van to compare interior air temp against wall electronic temps in our blazing Phoenix summers
We love our van and I think it is the best balance between size and capacity, and I am UNDER GVW :)
The low roof, short wheelbase 130in Transit has a GVW of 8600 and with wife, dog and all our stuff we are at 7800lbs for weeks of travel.
Personally I would NOT go hightop as that is tall for...
Headaches?
Well the method of passing through/connecting cables with the body is always a pain. I would like more info on the method you folks use/prefer
Currently I use 69x40 residential panels on my van roof as I have not found anything price per watt that compares.
However I am always...
For your use case I would honestly think the SUV is the best option and the real question becomes,,,,"Do you REALLY need to wait for the 400mi version?"
Look at all your previous trips and ask if the 300mi mark wouldn't work just fine?
I have a short wheelbase (130in) low roof Transit with a Quadvan 4wd that is 5in taller than factory.
It has 33's and I daily it along with all kinds of off road fun.
It drives GREAT, super comfy on the highway and trail, sure the IFS won't wheel with a Rubi but I can go far more places than...
I put my van in lots of places many don't think a van can go...
I will say if you do a Transit then go with Quadvan, they are still Ford supported, full warranty and much more focused to real use vs the shuttle van style of Quigley.
I have 33s and regeared to 4.10 which my Ecoboost loves.
Eaton...
A tablet with Avenza maps (these are USGS digital paper scans). No routing, just a dot on a "paper" map, alots of free and historic maps along with all the parks and such.
Next is OnX where he just clicks "offline maps" and does it 10sq mile squares and it draws a green lined square on anything...
Having recently talked to folks all the way at the top of SMBWest recently I can fully say that you can completely trust they will be doing great things for a long time to come.
Like the post above mentions, they can't talk publicly until July 1st.....but you can bet the order book will be open...
Looking back at other cases like this one we will likely NEVER hear any more.
Unless there is a local news interview or some other publication does a story the survivor will have terrible guilt, self doubt and remorse and will likely NEVER want to talk about the event again.
Completely...
These 100%,
I do the same thing, start at Drivers Front and work around, by the time I get back my 33s on 17s are down from 45 to 30 and a few seconds later 25lbs so I start the removal process.
Super easy and cheap
