Awesome to hear nothing major has failed. Thanks for the input!

Yeah, I have no better option than to leave all my gear in my bag at all times. I'm definitely not the most organized lol.

Where is the second photo? I'm located on the west coast. I have been eager to get into ice climbing but haven't had the chance yet. Also, as far as climbers and overland rigs, pretty much every crag, even the remote ones, have a Prius or Tesla at the parking area. I feel like climbers in my...

Man that setup is rad! Makes me that much more eager to buy a van.

I wouldn't pay above $60k IMO. There are so many better options for that type of money. I guess its a collector's piece though... Kind of a waste of a good exploration vehicle.

That's actually super interesting to hear. My 4runner gets about 13-14mpg combined on a good day so anything will probably be better than that haha. The biggest reason for me to get a van is rock climbing in the winter, funny enough. I feel like I'm the only climber with an "overland" built rig.

I frequent areas that having the extra ground clearance and solid axles will be beneficial. For the E350, a high roof would be a must. I would probably go through fiberine if I can't find a desirable van with one already installed. Something newer would be nice but the 4x4 or AWD models quickly...

Unreal ?

Great point. I keep going back and forth in my head about this myself haha. I have a perfectly built out Toyota but it is not suitable for full time living. There are other reasons that make me want to make the switch to a van but I won't go too in detail.

Its been the hardest decision to begin to mentally prepare to sell my 4runner haha. It has been nothing but a treat to travel in. Its only lacking in the space department. Is your van a 7.3 powerstroke?

Why 3? Did you have any problems with the other 2?

I wonder what all that brown stuff is if it aint rust lol. Maybe its fake patina spray paint.

Money is definitely not falling off trees for me so I'm liking your advice. Finding a low mile, newer v10 may turn out to be quite the task for me though.

I actually owned a 2001 v10 e350 for a grand total of 1 month before selling it. Wish I kept it... Only had 34k miles on it.

I am gearing up to possibly sell my incredibly reliable Toyota 4runner and buy a 7.3L Powerstroke E350 to 4x4 swap. Reason being, I want to build a rig to live out of full time. When looking for an E350 that fits my criteria, it is guaranteed to be at least 5 years older than my already 16 year...

Coffee pot included... haha

I can never tell from photos what would be a possible red flag. I know the Javier/Crow conversions contain a bunch of them but I can never point them out from these ads...

Cargo vans in good shape are hard to find and, consequently, really overpriced out in Cali. This is a good resource for future reference.

What exactly has been done to be considered "bulletproofed"? There's a myriad of different items involved to be considered "fully bulletproofed".
