So I am interested in a van like this, but the fact that there was engine rebuild before it hit 100,000 gives me pause. What do I need to know? Are these Fords just a lot less reliable than a Toyota?

Cab for two or four? We are a family with two kids...

Any chance you will find yourself and the rig in NC? I have a charcoal gray 2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited with BF Goodrich All Terrains, same mileage as yours, I would trade if the rig checks out.

Will give you full asking price if dimensions with the bag on right for my slide -- can you pass along the measurements? Thanks. Chris 319-541-0774

Thanks, Sitec, appreciate your thoughts and love the pic!. Since we will be travelling with two kids, chances are we will not get too rough. On the other hand, the box on this 1222 stands pretty tall at 6 foot interior height, so I imagine the sway could get substantial with relatively modest...

Am considering buying the Mercedes 1222A currently listed on the forum. In good nick, it appears, and unusual in that it has a factory-mounted box already on it. Would like to keep it that way, but my question is, do I have to worry about torsion and therefore, lifting and placing the whole box...

I am interested in how much you think it would cost to bring this up to expedition level. Nothing fancy, just insulated, reliable, capable off road, sand, etc. We plan S. America and Africa in two years from now, but don't want to sink too much "travel" money into the vehicle itself. We have a...

Did it sell?

I have a Nemo 9-person Wagontop ground tent, almost new, if you're interested in a trade. You can stand up in it, which is a nice feature, but it's too big for our needs.

Way to go, ramjet. I'm on your page! But I don't have those friends...my friends only know how to talk ******** and keep their fingernails shiny....

What do you guys think of this kit for my 2013 4Runner Limited? Looks like it is adjustable...I am looking for no more than 2" lift. Anything else I need to get for the install that is essential? I am thinking heavier coils on the back to compensate for trailer weight (app. 2500lbs)...

Thanks for the confirmation, tacollie!

DaveInDenver, this is why I post here. A level-headed bit of advice, and one to feel good about too -- more money over for other things! I will wait to see what others say, but you got me leaning in the right direction I think.

Sorry, hit the post button too soon. But you get the picture. Appreciate your wisdom and guidance!

So real-world issues are bouncing around my efforts to find a lift kit for my 5th Gen 4Runner Limited. My ornery but highly skilled mechanic with 40 yrs experience working on Toyotas (all he does), poo-poos the basic lift kits (e.g., Bilstein 6112/5160) and wants to see me install at least an...

Thanks, everyone; I need to see what the final build costs of our expedition vehicle is going to be, so am putting the trailer search on hold for a few months.

Thanks, everyone. great tips!

Thanks, teotwaki. I will look into those items. Chris

I am going with a 2" Old Man Emu lift on my 5th Gen (2013) 4runner Limited (not trail). This is to get some added clearance for a trip to South America and eventually Africa. My question for those of you who have experience with lift kits on 4Runners, is there anything I should have installed AT...

Thanks, danOmite. Will be checking out a trailer locally on the weekend; if it doesn't pan out, will get in touch.
