Jaleo 2- Building a 2012 E-350 4x4-Third time is the charm

Meet the Storm Trooper. Just a minor modification but I wanted to paint the shrouds for a long time. The full glass headlights look a lot better, but these have to option to use DOT-approved LED sealed light and they are a huge improvement.

I used Duplicolor Ford Oxford White (In theory the original color) but it was too white. I tried Rustoleum blossom white and it seems to be a better match so both the grill and the lights are finished with this color.




Other things :

Done:
* Rear brake pads and calipers. One of the caliper pistons was broken. It seems that my mileage has improved.

Ongoing.
* 5Star tune. I bought the tunes, received the tuner, and waiting to receive the actual tunes. I'll update on the performance
* On boar air. After removing the whole CNG system and tanks, I'm fitting a 5 (8?) gallons tank.
*Tool Box. Just got a 36x18x19 undercarriage toolbox that I'll be fitting to replace the current laundry basket.
* Rear diff's main seal seems to be leaking

That looks great. Huge improvement.

Time to remove the laundry basket I had in the swing out (proof of concept) and replace it with something better looking. Since the aluminum box is very light-duty, I built a support frame. If I ever need to carry two spare tires, it will work for this too.
Two camping chairs, a folding little table, 1 jerry can fit inside the box with extra space for trash and other staff. This will free space inside, especially since those items are a pain to find a place inside the van.
