yes the van has a body lift and the tank is mounted in the rear, I think its larger than stock but I'm not sure....


Good to know that 4x4 is possible and the vans mods arent deal breakers, Tricky I can deal with....

What would you say are the best mods to increase MPG...?

@ Skot .Do you have the 7.3 ?

YES I DO...

200k miles and not a single issue or problem that i can hear, see, feel or find...

Thank you for the call back today Chris! my build may take awhile but it will be done, part by part and piece by piece.
I wish you a peaceful, stress less trip. Enjoy tomorrow!

The One And Only....

Met up with Chris at ExPo-12. Nice rig, nice guy. He's off to Az's big canyon to tie the knot.

Good to meet you at the show! When you were leaving, I was distracted by your awesome van driving by!

crap, I hope I didnt wreck a matrimonial secret! I saw you departing but with two dogs, and two kids, when it's time to roll, it's time to roll.

The North Rim is WAAAAAY better than the South Rim.

Made it home last night, what a trip! From AVL to Flagstaff, then the North Rim, Lake Powell, & Bryce Canyon, we threw down some miles. Big V did great (besides a leaking AC hose) and now it's time to unload. I also had plenty of time to think about new projects & product, so I'll continue to be a busy boy.



Sad to say that these new projects & products mean that Vanaconda needs to find a new home. It's been 7 years since I picked it up, and I'll miss it for sure, but times are changing! With V4 coming together soon, Big V just won't be needed. Hopefully it will find a good home. I'll be taking current pics & listing it on my site this week. -------

Chris! Glad you made it back safely and sounds like an awesome trip!! I'm definitely jealous. I'll give you a call soon about the steering. By the way, what computer is that?

If you part it out I'd be interested in the front bumper!
