Up for sale is my 2000 Quigley 4x4 with 68,XXX. Miles. $28,500. OBO
located in Ft. Lauderdale Fl. email: beamreaching@gmail.com
I customized this van for extended off the grid adventure. Its capacity has enabled me to access and remain in very remote areas for weeks at a time. I can leave the camper knowing my equipment is secure, and come back to cold beer and steaks. It's principally configured to serve as your larder/secure storage space, while you pitch camp beside it. The drive train works as it should. The V6 starts up real easy, shifts smooth, accelerates and brakes well, goes in and out of 4x4 with no problem. It will go 90mph down the highway if you want, and run all day long at 65-75. It does not use any oil, has no check engine light on, runs great. The body is not perfectly straight, but it's solid, and there is no rust on it. The chassis is in very good condition with very minimal surface rust, here and there.

About the van and the build.
I bought this van from a guy out west who used it for hunting and built it out like a yacht. First I stripped out all the previous customization, except the propane tank. Then I painted out the floor and lower panels and doors with Rustoleum as a preventive measure. Next the plywood floor was painted out and screwed down over an acoustic underlay. Next I insulated the interior with Dow 1'' rigid polystyrene foam, glued in with urethane adhesive. The ceiling got an extra ½'', and the panels around the bed are insulated with soft thick Armaflex marine insulation, crazy expensive. I then lined the interior of the high top, cabinets, and other areas with FRP panel, which adds to insulation quality and is easy to keep clean.
Many High Tops rust out where they are bedded down, so I took extra precautions and put this one down like a deck on a yacht. First I refinished the paint from the gutters up, then bedded it down with urethane adhesive and SS screws.
The cabinets are a high quality, solid oak and veneered plywood construction, screwed and glued together with urethane adhesive. They have been built to fit the side walls, utilizing space, and are fitted with marine latches and heavy duty roller bearing slides.
The High Top gives you 6'0'' of headroom at the front, and 6' 3'' at the back. I configured the interior to stow several surf boards, but still allow you to move around comfortably. The 26.5” x 16’’ reinforced hatch at the rear gives you good ventilation and allows you to get long boards in and out. You can easily stow a 10'6'' longboard, possibly up to 11'0'', and stack another 3-4 shorter boards on top.
The bed in back is 6'1'' long, and 43'' at it widest. The mattress is a high quality 6'' thick Latex twin. I'm 6'1'' and sleep fine back there. The portability of the mattress works great for the tent too.
Between the massive 255 Amp Hr. deep cycle battery, and 240 watts of panels, I have rarely had to plug in. It runs the fridge full time with power to spare, for lighting, fans, laptop, and more. I ran oversized cabling, for better efficiency, and the panels are mounted on hinges, so you can tilt them to be more efficient. The system works so good, I forget it's there.
The removable security partition is made of 4''x1'' extruded aluminum tubing, which slides into a reinforced channel built into the top and bottom of the van body. The 7 sections store under the bed, and are quickly and easily slid into place. I was going to add some hockey puck locks to the doors, which would have made it like a vault, but choose to hold off. It's a very secure arrangement. You could easily remove it from the passenger side, put in a swivel chair, make the Van more conventional.
I finished up the project by giving the van a full Imron paint job. I repainted the front end with Awlgrip in 2012, when a new windshield went. The match is not perfect, but urethane paints last years longer than anything else.
I have put over 33,000 miles on this vehicle in the aprox 10 years I have had it. I fitted it out in Florida, and then drove it down to the Pacific coast of Mexico for a surf adventure. I used it off and on down there for a couple years, then drove it back up to Colorado where it sat in a barn for several years. I started using it again in 2012, exploring around the Rockies in the summers, and then drove it back down to Florida in October. The V6 does not have the power of the V8, but it's gotten me wherever I wanted to go, from Mexico's remote pacific coast, to the steepest rocky mountain passes. For me, the compromise in power, is a good trade for better gas mileage.
