Couple misc things.... Picked up a new 13' electric awning to replace the 8.5' ARB I had on the drivers side. It's technically not made for a vehicle but It seems to be pretty well made so I don't see why it won't work. I'll install it after the wrap. Also installed power windows and door...

Next up after installing the new window was to finish "deleting" the other stock window. I've had it temporarily covered for a while but I had to finish it up before I started the vinyl wrap. I should have done this before finishing the inside wall but I didn't so here we are. Here's the...

I've got some catching up to do... After I got the AC installed I moved on to installing a bigger rear side window. I hated the slider one I had so I looked around and found this dual pane window with built in shade and screen on Ebay. It's the same width but taller. I don't understand why...

Not mine but seems like a good deal. If the link doesn't work just search Chicago FB for Quigley https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1598093147204133

I should also note that I have used the hydronic heater and calorifier to get potable hot water many many times over the past year but I've only tested the in floor heat and haven't got my radiator hooked up yet so I haven't been able to test the cabin heating side. Hope to get some testing in...

I've been dealing with all these things while building my ERV so maybe I can add some insight. First off, yes the rear A/C runs off the same engine mounted compressor as the A/C in the cab and there's no way to run it off shore power. On my ERV (probably the same on most ambulances) there are...

Currently 400 watts but I'll probably go to 800 since that's what my controller can handle. I also have a 60amp DC-DC charger so that'll help since I tend to drive a lot during the day. At the very least I expect this thing to work for a good part of the night because I hate sleeping in the...

OK back to work on the ERV. Still not sure if I'll paint it or wrap it but either way I need to remove a bunch of stuff to prepare. I removed the middle side window so I'll have to do some body work to fill that in and I just ordered a bigger rear side window so I'll need to get that installed...

I guess it depends on how often you use it because to me the hydraulic units ($40-$90) are pretty awkward to use the the hammer tools really only work if you're assembling the cables on the bench. For me $114 is a pretty good deal especially considering what Dewalt offers. They do come with a...

Maybe it's just me but the hammer crimper and the hand pump hydraulic crimper I have both suck for various reasons so I've been looking for a better option. For some reason there aren't many options for electric crimpers and the ones that are available are thousands of dollars so that's...

I'm building this and it will be for sale when I'm done. Build thread is in my signature.

Yeah that will be interesting to see the difference. I look forward to seeing your build. You're off to a great start.

Interesting. That really opens up some space for head room or storage. I also noticed the weight difference. Looks like yours had some things in the box and I think mine was basically empty at the time but that's surprisingly different. I need to weigh mine again now that the interior is...

Not technically 4x4 yet but it sure is fun in the snow :D I'm finishing up the Chevy Express this week so I'll be back on the ERV next week to finish the 4x4 and eventually everything else. I've got 800ah of lithium batteries, 12 volt air conditioning, more solar and a bunch of other fun...

Is your cab roof cut out? It kind of looks like it in one of the pics and I noticed the wind deflector is sealed to the cab and the box which is different than mine.

To get 1" lift you'd need 2" +/- shorter shackles and I'm pretty sure those aren't available. I would think 1" lift blocks would be the best and easiest solution.

Seriously? Well that would be awesome. I hadn't heard that but I'll definitely look into it. EDIT..... Yup the 4x4 adaptor is on there. I knew the parking brake was there but it never occurred to me that's how it was attached. Now since I clearly haven't researched that part of the...

No big updates on the ERV but I got moved into my new shop space :D. The plan for the winter is to get the trans out of the ERV and rebuilt with the transfer case adapter and then finish up the rest of the 4x4 conversion. I've got around 200 miles on it as is and I'm really happy with the way it...

Haha no. I painted the Bronco 20 years ago.
