Here's Sandy from a quick Baja trip last weekend just a few days after the Weldtec 4" suspension kit went on. What a difference in the handling in the dirt!

Looking great! Good call overhauling that front axle before installing it!

On a recent trip to WV. In about 3 weeks I'll be getting a lift and bumpers from Weldtec Designs.

Dreaming of spring camping. Old pic, I haven't seen my baby in two months. I have cancer, I might be back in August or so. Post up some pics and enjoy your vans for me, friends.

Nice photo. Sorry to hear about the cancer, best wishes and much success going forward.

Awesome!!
I can’t believe you can drive on the beach with 2wd. Amazing!

Here's my blue whale, a new to me '03 7.3 EB cargo. Just came back from paint because my family said I couldn't drive around the neighborhood in a creepy white van. It also had some surface rust and one side was severely dinged and looked like a giant golf ball (it was as if the van was laying on it's side and was pelted by hail). I had considered a front clip swap while getting the paint done because I had a line on all the parts. But I decided I prefer the original front end. First thing I did after paint was have a set of Vantage Optics lights installed. It's going to be a slow simple build. I think I'll keep her 2WD for a while.

Nice!! What was the ballpark cost of paint? On gonna wrap my white van and estimate is about $6-800

Thanks. Paint cost $3k. Most of the quotes were $8-10k. I decided to take a chance on the guy who I've used for many years to do auto body repairs. He does a good job, but I wouldn't use him to paint my Porsche (if I had one). The $10k quote was from a guy who does show cars and as much as I love my van, it's now a show van. I also couldn't justify paying more for paint than the van cost me. One guy wouldn't even touch it because it's so large. Overall, I was very happy with the results and it was worth $3k. If this guy didn't give me such a good deal, I would have treated the rust, used a rattle can and left her white. Wrapping sounds like a great option at that price.
