    Help on rear lift on E350 RV??

    Thanks eblau, I am in Richmond area but appreciate your offer. Local spring shop had change of heart and now says they can do something but might entail 1"-2" blocks. Big issue with blocks on Chinook is top plate rubbing tire and a concern about U-Bolts fitting correctly if top plate is ground...

    4WD Tiger Provan

    It was a chevy, It think it was a 2500 (but could have been 3500) because back then I think Provan were building on 2500 platforms, today they only do 3500. I think it was a huge steal....I was debating buying to flip and was going to call when I noticed it was sold. I think for someone...

    2018 Expo East Camping?

    I think they are trying to maintain the Overland focus. 35' might be due to soft field, I bet f someone showed up with a 35' lifted chopped Prevost with aluminess bumper and Zeon winch they'd let them it...haha

    Anybody Ever Been To This Van Event?

    My two cents.....although I am not interested nor will be, I do think there is a niche of "less than" mechanical types that have never attempted something of this scope so for $200 bucks, someone walks you through steps A to Z of conversion. This may be cheap insurance to see if you really are...

    WK2 Reliability

    I love my 2014 Overland WK2, this is our second JGC, first one never gave us problem, this one has been in shop alot. Based on my current WK2 I would not buy one without the lifetime warranty as we keep our vehicles way past 10 years, our 2004 JGC has well over 200k miles and going strong and...

    2005 Chinook 2500 Glacier question

    You can get all your answers here: http://chinookrvforum.com There is a Glaciar for sale in the classifieds for $65k. I never looked into Glaciars but have its little brother (Concourse). Assuming $65k is good number for 2wd, it would min. cost $20 - $25K to have professional upgrade to 4wd...

    Halley - '17 WK2 Trailhawk Overland Build

    Great photos and you are excellent ambassador for the WK2, Jeep should use your photos for sure as they are real world not marketing stunts. I can't wait to the Wilco write-up with pics from backup camera view.. Earlier this year I took a Overland 4x4 driving course by company that specializes...

    2wd E-350 Chinook upgrade to 4x4 using "F" series donor

    Vandit, thank you for thorough and thoughtful reply. My installer does alot of Jeeps but in reading about this process and my research on Ujoint/Action Van/Weldtec on van 4x4 upgrades I was concerned he may have been overly optimistic in approach, that is why I can here to get opinions. For 12k...

    2wd E-350 Chinook upgrade to 4x4 using "F" series donor

    Will do, is conversion really as easy as transferring parts from donor to van or is there alot of custom fabrication and complexity involved?
