    Ford factory E-Series, rear door tilt out windows.

    I believe the glass can be bought as "new". The rare thing to find is the factory mount system. So let me see if I can find you a link. If it fits 1992 it'll fit 2014. All gen4 E Series rear doors are the same. Just have to pick left or right side (unlike gen3, square, the glass is different...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    I really like the solid extension when ypu think about the "moment", with cantilever, and potential dynamic loading. Just me, I love overkill.

    Rooftop insulation?

    Thanks for that input. I would love to find some of the old Marsden Mats that were aluminum. I have a TON (literally 2 ton to be exact) of steel ones , just too heavy to cover an entire roof with them AND then there is the rust bleeding issue even IF you powder coat them

    Rooftop insulation?

    I am pondering an idea to insulate my fiberglass hightop not only from the INSIDE (closed cell spray/rock wool) but also whether i should bridge the 3/4" on the topside between the ribs and skin it with diamond plate aluminum. I plan on spending many nights up there. I could leave the 3/4" gap...

    Econoline roof fairing?

    I could NOT get it off the box, so I cut that joint as close to box as possible with a grinder and thin kerf cutoff wheel. The front stainless rivets to cab above the windshield I ground flush , then popped with little wonder bar. I plan on using Locktite Premium caulk/glue ($12-13 tube). It's...

    Freightliner ( Mercedes ) sprinter 2500 4x4 hd 170 $69,900 OBO

    That is AMAZING I wonder how the axle swap effected mileage. The drive train is the weak link on the sprinter. Impressive. I LOVE that e-Locker, permanant locker is dicey in some situations (off angle snow/ice/slime)

    Which van to start with?? Please help

    I read this thread, as for "more aftermarket support" would be, how many $1000 dollar window shade sets do you need. ? Or $1000 bug screens do you want??? I want "Anywhere USA" auto shop parts, and every Podunk mechanic has worked on a Chevy or Ford. As for "units on the road" and used parts...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    I carry "WHATEVER the heck i want". The Ford frame can take a 30+" piece of 2"x3" thick walled box tube slid into each side. I have custom built several of these hitches for my vans. You have to lose the spare tire carrier and its frame frame mounts. Stiffen the 2x3 with some cross tube. Weld...

    Ambo expedition build - planning stage

    Hello. Nice rig. I would make sure your box isn't CRAZY heavy. I saw one from a swat vehicle in a scrap yard that must a been filled with sand or concrete in the body cavities. Likely not, but I'd check. For me I am not "pre-running" my Quigleys....so they are fine as they are. I just need 4x4...
