Sorry for the delayed response - just now saw your post. The current tires are fairly new, so I won't be replacing them for a while. When I do, I may try to up the size a bit, or at least go for a more aggressive tread. As for a lift, I won't be doing anything exotic, but may try coil spacers...

Nice looking set up. I read your ad and under the "why sell" section I noted the "Living in Texas there is very little public land and none of it requires the level of competence this car has." Sadly, this is closer to true than most people realize. I suppose there are a few spots in Big Bend...

The build quality doesn't look too bad, so I guess they succeeded at executing their vision of what they were trying to accomplish. However, if this was their vision, I personally think they should get their eyes checked.

Yeah, but the people taking pictures of you at red lights aren't going to care. They'll just think you're a rock star.;)

No affiliation, but came across this ad on FB marketplace. Never seen such a conversion before, and my first question was "Why?". I guess the answer is in their description: "We drove it into town yesterday and you think we were rock stars with people taking pictures of it at stop lights."...

As shown in one of the photos above, the spare tire had been relocated to the inside of the van (because the stock location is a bit of a pain to access the tire). I ended up putting the original spare back in the stock location, but wanted a new spare that would be easier to access. I...

Here is the sleeping platform at various stages of construction. I used the existing aluminum angle supports (from the previous platform build) as a base for a pretty simple hinged platform. I wanted to be able to fold up the platform in case I ever needed to haul something big. They're not...

Compared to many builds on this site, this will be a pretty tame, low-key effort. But I wanted to document some of the things I've done and will do to my van - at least for my own purposes, and hopefully useful for others starting their own builds as well. I acquired the van from my father in...

This is a really cool rig, but hard to believe it's had 3 owners and only been driven 3k miles since January 2018. Who knows why, but I guess it's fairly small by typical RV standards, and maybe people that have $100k to spend on a rig find out they like the idea of going far off-road more than...

Nice van and impressive build. I've got a 2WD extended wheelbase with the same top on it. Before I built mine (not nearly as complete as this) I might've questioned the asking price. After doing a fairly straightforward build, I'll never question the price on a full custom build again. Until...

Gold King Basin, near Alta Lakes south of Telluride. After working on it almost every weekend of coronapocalypse, it was nice to get out and use it for a change.

Every time I see a build like this I think of this video: Pretty impressive for a 2WD sedan.

"The parts alone are worth the asking price." Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see an asking price.

Thanks for sharing - that thing is awesome. As a patent attorney, I'm also impressed (and jealous) that the entire patent is only five pages. I couldn't help but look up the original patent. Definitely simpler times.

I'm pretty sure that's a scam that's circulated before. Seems like the price is higher this time (which makes the ad seem less scam like). I'll see if I can find the prior listings. Edit: I guess I was thinking of a different pop-top Astro. I couldn't find a previous listing for this, so...

The ad is still up this morning.

Nice rig, but I don't think the mods will leave this up if you don't list a price.

Not sure why the KSL listing has $44k as the price, but the dealer website has $79.5k. https://www.malonetoyota.com/used-inventory/index.htm?search=&compositeType=&year=2015&make=Mercedes-Benz&odometer=&referrer=%2F&saveFacetState=true

I'd beg to differ :). Of course it's all a matter of perspective. I don't think the longhorn sticker that was on my Trooper when I bought it lasted five minutes after I got it home. On a more serious note, this looks like a well-equipped LC. Good luck with the sale, AggieLC.
