    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    PREACH!!! It won't be the same once he's gone. It's nice living in Mecca. I'm 20 minutes from UJOR, 1.5 hours from Deal's Gap. FBI Dave ( if you know who he is) is a VERY good friend and is local. 10 minutes from roads better than Deal's Gap. Best motorcycle roads (on and off) in the USA. My...

    Went to Johnson City today. Snowy up top. As you can tell, I pulled the wheelchair lift out. Now she sits level.

    https://www.autoanything.com/nerf-bars/steelcraft-stx600-utility-boards $200. They're not heavy duty or anything. But they are solid. Doubt they can handle any real off road abuse. But what I plan on doing, they'll be fine.

    Small update. 1. Screw building my own nerf bars / running boards, I ordered some online. Too dang cold for all that. But I need them because the wife said so. She can't get in without them. 2. I had the failure with the EPBV valve from actually opening. Most of the time, when I gave it a...

    I ordered a few parts I have to put on. New up pipe bolts, and pedestal O rings: Dana 60 master rebuild it. I was waiting on this to come to order the right pinion bearing to use as a setup bearing. Since I got the # off it, it's on the way. I have to order gears and a locker. I won't do...

    I had to look it up. Yea, its North of Asheville. I've ridden those roads before. They're pretty good. I see you're a supermoto guy? I had supermoto's for 10 years. Here's a few of my old ones: HMC built 505xc, with dual Ti Akra's: My 2012 500 EXC (last one I had) Built by FBI: I had a...

    The last post is from me. For some reason Tapatalk used that name... ******... A little history and planning. I grew up in a mechanic shop. I learned a lot as a kid, mostly to keep me busy, my grandfather gave me old crap to take apart and put back together. So, I have a good understanding of...

    Yo, Chris, I seen on some of your vans, you add a Ford OEM brake controller? Is that possible on my old 2000 7.3 van? Or do I need to go aftermarket? The OEM would look so much better.

    That’s good to hear. I wouldn’t mind a stripped chassis E Series. Just the cab and a V10. Maybe in a couple years I’ll buy a low mileage one or a new one.

    I understand how a fan clutch works. On a regular 7.3 F-250 fan clutch, the nut sticks out past the fan: On the van version, the nut sits INSIDE the fan. Impossible to get to without a curved tool to get around the fan: It's not a straight forward install.
