Well, I don't actually think it's ugly. But it certainly isn't pretty! This van has been used for its intended purpose, with 20 years of offroading adventures in the USA and Mexico. The paint clearcoat is scuffed with brushmarks. The body has some dents and a few significant cracks. Underneath...

Actually, I bought that van a couple weeks ago!

Seconded! I used those clip-lock chucks for years, and they were frustrating. Screw-on is much less stress. I also improved the ergonomics / finger-feel of the above screw-on chucks by wrapping them several times with some self-fusing 3M Scotch Rubber Splicing Tape. The larger diameter and...

odometer?

I don't see which engine this van has, but I do see the 5-gallon diesel tank listed, so I presume it's the 6.0 diesel (but some people use tanks like that for their diesel furnace.)

Unimogs are geared low for agricultural or other worksite use - not designed with highway driving in mind.

"yonah" on the Sportsmobile Forum found some more photos of this top and the original van. The passenger side of the top has a huge crack in it.

Any interior photos?

I've also wondered about this. This thread talks about E350 frames, and flex: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/mounting-a-composite-camper-box-on-4x4-e350-chassis.224393/

For the past 22 years I've had a 2000 WJ with the 4.7L (plenty of power) and the Quadradrive. Quadradrive has a low range, and three mechanical automatic-locking differentials. Worked surprisingly well. I pulled myself out of a couple hairy situations with all four wheels spinning and only one...

Earthcruiser was "just about" to start selling their recirculating shower when I checked them out in 2020. I haven't heard much since then. I wonder if anyone has actually used one regularly out in the field? I can imagine a lot going wrong. Maybe we need to wait for the technology to get...

This is looking amazing! How did you decide to go fully custom with the Total Composites rather than working with a cube van like Spartan Supreme?

I've used my pop top heavily for the last 19 years, and am looking into a fixed top of some sort on my next van. I love the view. Mostly I'm switching now because I want a bed I don't have to make every night. The Fiberine would be more appealing to me if it was covered in windows.

Over 60 issues: from the very first Spring 2007, through somewhere in 2019. Only missing issue is: Summer 2009. They are in fair condition. Not marked or ripped, but some pages got folded and scuffed as these magazines got read and tossed around over the years. Would anyone want this collection...

yes. never had a problem. I bleach the tank every few years, also.

I am guessing by the silence that this isn't quite what you all are looking for ? But I figured I'd post here first, just in case. It's now on Craigslist: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/seattle-1966-deuce-and-half-m109a3/7532634561.html

I think I posted the whole story here on EP a few years ago, but here are a few more details: I actually patched both my ripped tires. And this is good because my first tire only got me 30 miles before failing (my wire stitches fatigued and snapped). To break the bead, I drove up onto the...

Yeah, I certainly considered multiple spares. But in the end I just figured I should learn better how to sew up my tires - for when this happens to me only once a decade or so. Improvements for next time... I now carry: kevlar thread & a big needle (instead of wire - which fatigues and breaks...

This got me 60 miles to pavement and a tire shop. Yes, I know I was doing it all wrong. But it worked.
