You sir, need a mid roof Sprinter body grafted onto a 4WD Dodge 2500 pickup chassis :) or maybe a crew cab NPR converted to 4WD with a removable 10 foot camper box on the back so you can set it off at camp and go biking and hiking AND tow the Airstream with the 400 HP Duramax that you put in...

You, good sir, need an Iglhaut Sprinter conversion:

Steve, why do you need so much additional space in the van? If it is a tow rig and "around town" rig for playing tourist, getting to mountain bike trails and getting off the beaten track to do some wilderness hiking or back country camping, I would not want anything larger (high top or...

MG, I know you are a super picky guy, but for those who may not know, PLEASE, do not use masking tape or electrical (vinyl) tape when building or repairing a wiring loom or harness. DEI makes a silicon rubber loom tape, athletic tape or wrap can also be used, as it sticks to itselft but not to...

Steve, weren't you just saying that you wished you had an RB to make it easier to move around town with the trailer parked? If you have an EB now, what would you go to, other than a 140" or 170" Sprinter. The AWD version certainly do not have the capabilities of your current van, as you well...

That is "decking" material, used for making an actual skateboard. That is not skate ramp material: Skatelite is a super durable paper-composite material that is designed to stand up to the daily punishment inflicted by skateboards and BMX bikes. Since it's made of paper, logos can be printed...

Hell, the 2.7L EcoBoost from the F-150 makes 325HP and 375 foot pounds of torque. You really should not need much more than that in a RB van. If you do, there is a huge aftermarket already supporting that engine. The 3.5L makes 365 HP and 420 TQ with bolt on mods returning 400 HP and 500 TQ. So...

Nope, they use Skatelite (http://skatelite.com/our-product/), but it is installed one sheet at a time and "formed" into place. Since Skatelite is made from paper, it cannot be soaked and formed or you will ruin the sheet

A mate of mine installed Centrmatics on a Dodge 2500 with 35" BFG M/T's and it rode quite well as a result. Tire life was also extened to about 60,000 miles, IIRC.

#600 and #800 springs seem awfully light for a U1250, IMO. There are more than a few guys running around the states with #650 and #700 springs on Tacomas, after adding a winch bumper, winch and lights. For reference, the images you posted look like you have a pretty beefy spring compared to puny...

Though "beauty" is said to be in the eye of the beholder, I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who claims that rig to be "beautiful" The present owner is selling the one above for a reason. Hopefully, it will find a new owner to enjoy it. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing...

Suncoast or Goerend Brothers IMO. Stay away from the smaller or unknown builders unless they have a a REALLY good reputation over LONG time. Too easy for someone to quit or get fired and their product quality and/or service changes, in a small business. A buddy of mine learned that the hard...

Do people who build these things have no sense of aesthetics, design or style? Five year old drew it with Crayon? 1970's hillbilly? Hey man, hold my beer and watch this? :puke:

:D

With New Venture/New Process being out of business for a few years now, are you having any trouble getting cases or parts? I presume someone rebuilds them for you and those are complete re-man cases? Interested to hear reviews on the new tires when you get some miles on them. Cheers.

Full time 4WD, All Wheel Drive and 4x4 are three completely different animals.

I don't let idiots with 1" air guns install or rotate my 'tyres' so I know they are at the correct spec and that I can get them off. There is no reason (IMO) to have massive amounts of torque on a wheel nut. There is no force trying to spin the lug nuts off, so 350 - 400 foot pounds (475 - 550...

Toyota Celica from the wrecking yard I believe. No need for $2,000 seats unless you have $$ burning a hole in your pocket. Put it into suspension, window film, stereo or a Steinbauer.

$1500 for a starter? Where? Made from gold? I just had the one in my Fuso rebuilt for $140 and had it back the next day. Not much to go wrong with a water pump unless the housing is cracked. It's an impeller and some gears. 45 psi rear and 50 front is what I run in my FE 140. No reason for a...
