Steel Blue for sale?! :drool:
Can I ask a really stupid question? I really want to do this conversion, but I really hate to loose my fuel cell size. I am guessing I could buy a new fuel cell but is there any possible way to do this conversion without loosing my gallon capacity.
I almost pulled the trigger on an f250 axle locally to start this but this issue has me waiting to commit.

I was worried about a smaller fuel tank too, but with a 7.3L diesel I still get 320+ miles out of a 25 gal tank.
If that bothers you, Chris sells a 35.5 gal aluminum tank that bolts in. That'll give you even more capacity than stock.

Hey, when and where is Expo East?
Uh, yeah. Details on that?
Another one touches down! 2014 E350 5.4, 6" on 35's.
That looks really familiar.....

I absolutely love the look of the Nissan NVs with a little lift. We've got one locally and it looks fantastic.
After I shortened my tank, I was able to get 33 gallons in it.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get that much in mine, even after topping up the foam for 10min.

Gives you a sense of the look, kind of like a Voyager Top like SwissVan. Advanced 4x4 kit, no idea on lift specs/tires/etc;
^^^ I'm pretty sure that guy's on the ExPo Forum ... I've seen him post over in the Nissan section.
Here's one of the Quigley 4x4 NVs, in a low-roof passenger configuration:
I much prefer the low-roof to the high-roof, in looks, but either way wish it had a bit more cabover presence to it.
Edit: Yup, found it, here's the thread on that silver NV above - http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/135865-Nissan-NV-4x4-van ... looks like the camper (and 4x4?) conversion was done by Outside Van. Also - apologies to Chris for the derailment on the NV topic. Should this discussion get moved to another thread?

I've seen 2 by advance and one quigley in person, they looked alright but were too close to stock clearance for my taste. I can't wait to see one Ujoint style on 35-37's with 6"+ lift!
