1st test fit! 255/85/16s were a bit ambitious. Going down to 265/75/16 to avoid body mods, I'd like to have the kit clear a certain tire w/o body trimming. New tires will be here in the AM as well as the parts we need for steering. Ready to drive it out tomorrow! We still have a few pieces to make to complete the kit and the F driveshaft is going to be tricky.

Man! Y’all don’t waste any time, do you? Looking good!

IMHO this is a smart business move forward.
The Econoline is not that much longer around, even though they keep pushing it on.
Well done in a short time. I hope that with more time and R&D, this will become a very capable platform for years to come.
Nice to see something that will compete with Mercedes in this market. Cost of ownership should be less for sure.

Mannnnn, when they start making the Transit AWD chassis cab, RV prep package, I’m gonna order one.
I want the crew cab model personally. 4 doors and 4wd. Add a third pedal n I'd be in heaven.

I’m excited to see what they do.
Also in 2021, the E series is getting a face lift. It will still be just a cutaway model, but with a Transit like interior with the 7.3 gas motor.
My next van is going to be a cutaway. And I’m going to build my own box, or buy a 12ft box truck.

True. People have been asking me since ~2012 what in the world I'll do when the E series goes out of production but we've been great and build more rigs each year. But, nice vans are getting harder to come by and the guys willing to make the investment are too. We'll continue making E series parts and slowly make our way into the Transit world!

Transit! Happy with the worth we were able to do in 2.5 days, the van is mobile and we'll get it back on the lift next week. 3.5" lift, 265/75/16 Toyo AT2s with very minor trimming. Working on the skid plate now!
Is this a spacer lift or do you have new spindles or lower control arms?
Just curious about the CV angles and how the van will handle offroad.
