    Bed solutions for Ford E250 Vans

    There are a couple of sources of supply. The 1st one I would suggest would be http://www.discountvantruck.com/rvvanseating/vanseats.htm. You can order in custom lengths from these guys to suit what you need. They are fairly comfortable. I have also used an IKEA futon. I am not sure they have...

    E-350 Type III ambulance conversion- Retired 2

    Checkout these guys for the foldup couch / bed. https://www.blazinbelltech.com/furniture.html For the 3rd seat in the front I used the center seat section from the 2nd row of a Honda Odyssey. But that was with an toddler. Now she is bigger we use the center console seat from an F550 because it...

    Ford quigley 4x4 Van as expedition vehicle?

    Go for a 94+ E350 as it has the turbo. Diesel is available anywhere trucks run which usually covers market roads. But try to only buy it from places that sell a lot of it. Also put in a good inline water trap / filter and get rid of the filters that are on the pickup in the fuel tank. Also...

    You can also try ebay in Australia. I am chasing the C200 and it is $365 USD in Australia versus $860 here. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XCassette+C-200.TRS0&_nkw=Cassette+C-200&_sacat=0

    One Spare Tire or Two?

    I will be carrying 1 spare (tire on rim) and an unmounted tire. The tires I run are as rare as rocking horse poop and a mounted tire is just on 300#. So 2 complete spares is not feasible. Now saying that we did spend a month in Baja with no spare. Just carried a plug kit, a tube that would...

    Will an F550 front axle work for a 4x4 conversion?

    I don't think it will work with the UJOR kit (I did ask Chris years ago when I could get a pair at a silly price). But if it does I would suggest leaving the 4.88 and running ex military 37" on beadlocks. The offset should help get the rubber back under the guards a bit. Another bonus is that...

    SOLD Toyota Sienna reclining seats. Footrest comes up for lazy boy c...

    In my case they were too wide to fit in where the Bolstom seats came out of and also too high in the seat base area to allow me to use the air ride bases.

    Landcruiser 6x4 + Ambulance body + convert to extra cab from 12,000 km away = ???????

    Landcruiser 6x4 + Ambulance body + convert to extra cab from 12,000 km away =... Progress at last. Managed to get to Oz for a couple of weeks. And for a quick summary I now have a troopy that is on the road and my run about. I originally grabbed it to use it for a donor. But it is too good to...

    Coffee Makers?

    What is wasted. Cardboard goes into recycle. Pods go to Nespresso for recycle. This is my travel kit. I even take this on my carry on luggage (never check luggage on domestic flights). I can carry 50 shots, 2 cups, rock sugar and the machine and still fit in a weeks or 2 of clothing into a...

    Coffee Makers?

    I always cart along a Nespresso machine. If its good enough for George Clooney its good enough for me. But having a powered machine is a compromise. The missus only asked once "are you sure you need to bring a coffee machine along" to which I replied "I will give up the coffee machine you give...

    35s on a 3500lb axle?

    If anything it will be easier on the wheel bearings. They will rotate slower. Slower rotation = less heat = less wear. Just make sure the bearings are well maintained and the wheels balanced. Yeah I know a lot of people poo poo balancing trailer tires but they get harmonic vibration just the...

    7.3 no start part deux.

    I don't have access to the wiring diagrams but you should be able to measure the output voltage of the ICP sensor but it will need to be connected (3 wire sensor from memory). The 1st check should be the wiring from the sensor connector to the ECM. I have a healthy respect for Motorcraft parts...

    7.3 no start part deux.

    Do you have a data logger of any type that hooks to the engine. I am still thinking ICP is low or the system thinks it is low. Having some way of monitoring the following parameters would help. (The numbers I am suggesting are pulled from my worn out memory banks so I would recommend checking...

    7.3 no start part deux.

    Sorry I just read your other thread. I didn't know you had done all the work to the fuel supply system. I think you are on the right track. Its called "maintenance induced failure" ( fix it until its f*$ked). Backtrack what you have worked on and what you may of disturbed by working around...

    7.3 no start part deux.

    Sounds like low ICP. I do not have any of the data with me but I think its around 500 to start and 600+ to idle. Do you have anyway of checking it. Since you put in a new Motorcraft sensor I would probably eliminate that and check the wiring etc. Noisy injectors are usually a sign of fuel...

    Quigley front brake parts

    Just send Quigley an email with your serial number and ask what axle they used. My 95 and 98 used K30 Chevy axle. But they were both on dually ambos. Apart from that you could pull one off and that it to NAPA to measure it up and look through their books.

    Landcruiser 6x4 + Ambulance body + convert to extra cab from 12,000 km away = ???????

    I take it "whoa" means "yes I volunteer to come to Oz with my fabrications skills and help you with the cab shrink, chassis extension" or am I misinterpreting something.
