    Best Vehicle for Urban AND Wilderness Travel?

    I've determined that a box truck would be the best start for an all in one toyhauler with living quarters. F350 front end, not E350 means you can more easily convert to 4WD and still have a legitimate engine compartment. The packaging of all the van stuff under the baby hood and doghouse is a...

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    No comments on a tire with nearly one inch tall lugs? Obviously unstreetable but it would be cool to have an extra set of rear tires for the dunes. One time. Then your van would likely be totaled. Better than this!

    Added Center Jump Seat, 06 Savana AWD

    Nicely done. I've though one of those would work out well for just that.

    Diesel 04 E-350 Cube Van Camper

    Awesome. I wish I'd gone for a box van sometimes instead of a wheelchair van.

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    I've found the tires you want to make your 2WD van more capable! http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-New-Tires-Buckshot-Wide-Mudder-P78-Grip-Spur-33-10-50-16-Mud-Bogger-7-50-235-/221981753407?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    I would avoid leaf spring blocks if at all possible. Is there a place nearby you that will re-arch your springs? You really want to pursue additional travel, and not just height.

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    How much cutting do you think it would take to fit these 35x12.5R16? http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/35X12-50R16LT-Trepador-Radial.aspx?t_c=13&t_s=536&t_pt=101509&t_pn=MXXTL30007600

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    This is the kind of sand I'm talking about. I was going fine forwards, at 60 psi in the tires. When I shifted to reverse to backup I just dug in. Screwed on my deflators to just the rear tires, dropped to the pre set 25 psi, rocked forwards and backwards and drove right out.

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    I've got about 8,000 miles on them and they have Kedge Grip. Really surprised at their snow and ice performance and steadiness. Only issues are getting started from a stop on bare ice. Any amount of snow on the roads has been fine, from a dusting to a foot and a half of fresh stuff. The...

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    Down in Baja after a good rainstorm I hauled out this car trailer unassisted while the 2WD Suburban needed a tow strap to make it up the hill even without the trailer. I had about 1000 pounds of dirtbikes and gear in the back which put a lot of pressure down on those rear tires. Plus that...

    Thoughts on making a 2wd van more capable

    Airing down, tallest tires possible and the most suspension travel possible so you can use momentum to get you through the tough spots, smart driving, rear locker, and aggressive tires on the drive wheels. I went with mud tires in the back and ATs in the front so I didn't have the road noise up...

    1996 E150 Max Tire Size With No Rub

    Not directly related, but if I switch tires on my 4" WeldTec lifted E350, I will probably go with 255/85-16, tall and narrow. If there was an affordable tire that was taller, while still narrow, I would go with that. The narrow tires are what keep my 2WD van moving in the sloppy stuff. It...
