Colorado campervan offers a door galley for the diy van builder. not really similar to the one that mg built, but only one im aware of readily available for purchase. their site doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment, but located the vid he offered a few years back...

^^^ what he said. 5% tires, 5% vehicle, 90% driver. Our van has proven to me numerous times that I still have a lot to learn. The van is more capable of a vehicle than I am as a driver. Sometimes all it takes is others to show you the line. I discovered long ago that your only as good as the...

I have a 03 7.3 and have test driven a few passenger vans. I was pleasantly surprised with the umph when flogging. Granted it was pretty much empty, but it still had some good get up and go. I can't speak for a loaded one or how it is towing and it could have been gearing that gave it a launch...

5-8x165 used ultra type 164 16x8 wheels with 285/75/16 tires. they are mounted and balanced and ready to bolt up and drive. should fit most chevy and dodge 8 lug trucks, ford trucks up till 1999, and all heavy duty ford van's. bfg k02 tires have around 1000 miles on them. the toyo tire was my...

If his boss told him to do it on purpose, then him getting fired, which we really don't know happened, is on his bosses shoulders. If it's his own mistake and he was trying to right it without telling it the boss to hide the fact that he couldn't take a few seconds to verify a part with the part...

http://4wheelonline.com/xd-wheels-xd300-pulley-satin-black.272079.0 Those say their rated at 4K each but only 8" wide. Might be a little narrow for a 37" tire. Either way that site has load ratings listed for most their wheels and they offer a lot of options. Should be enough options there to...

my 03 Quigley had 16's on it when I got it. also had a 285/75/16 spare in stock location. im guessing desert eagles Quigley had an updated front end which likely came with a newer f350 front axle that had larger brakes then my 03 f350 front axle. keep in mind you cant just generalize a...

I was forced to go with 17's when I put the sterling axle in back. I was much happier with 16's for sizing/load rating options and especially pricing. the bigger you go the more expensive crap gets. tires are something the vans eat rapidly. saving that extra cash every time you replace the...

both Toyota and Honda make small awd wagons late 80's early 90's vintage. I know theres other makes, but I cant think of them right now. if you can find one it might be a good alternative to the other ideas mentioned. I love my 89 civic wagon. gets 25-35 mpg depending on what toys are on top...

^^^ lets see some pix! I know its not technically a Honda, but im an Isuzu fan as well... panhandler, cool to see a pilot actually used for something other than hauling kids to the mall! looks kinda squatty in back. some newer Hondas toe in with rear wheels when weigh is added. you seeing any...

^^^ looks good to me! id like to find a skinnier tire for winter if nothing else. the 315's are garbage in the slushy crap.

rear steering assist stuff??

Mines a 03 e350 but not sure if there are differences between the 2. Just got done with lots of wheel and tire trials and tribulations myself, so I know exactly what you're going through. Best of luck!

agree on best option yet for sprinters. look great on that van! agree on fake beadlocks, and fake 2-3 piece wheels bolts too. hard to find wheels for any heavy duty vehicle without one or the other anymore that aren't full on brodozer wheels :(

^^^ attachment no worky :( when we got our Quigley it had 285/75/16's and never rubbed anywhere ever. borrowed a friends 315/75/16's for a road trip when mine were questionable and only got slight rub on the very bottom of the front bumpers when turning on compressions when wheels were about...

never owned a jeep, but were in the process of doing the same thing. we plan to flat tow our little wagon behind the van when we don't take the motorbikes. that way we can leave a basecamp and explore from there. only downfall weve found to a van is having to break camp to explore and risk...

Damn, had no idea what be you had to go though with van #1 man. That explains the brush off when I first asked questions about it, lol. Is the vss in the tranny of the rear diff? Either way glad to hear it's mobile and I told you about people's reactions...get used to it :)

********, a little deeper??

depending on which one you buy, its cake. I bought one designed to go where a oem window would have on a passenger and it only took me an hour or so. one that bridges gaps would likely take a bit more cutting, but the crl windows are pretty easy to install. reminded me of an old sunroof. cut...

^^^ thanks guys! rack works great, but needs updated since I put spare on back. plus some of our shorter riders cant reach the top slots, lol. were going to rebuild for next years trip. the vans record is 13 people and 12 boards.
