Spec van video!

Looks killer! I’ve been following along on social media as you’ve been putting it together. I noticed you went 4.88 gears vs the usual 4.56 I see you guys usually pair with the 5.4 vans. Any particular reason for that?

Thanks! A little more grunt for the driving it will be doing most of the time here in the mountains. With the tuner it feels great. ~2400 RPM at 70 too.

Right on, I’ve got a 5.4/4R75 van I plan on converting to 4x4 with your kit sometime in the future. I live in AZ and spend a lot of my time driving up to elevation (Phoenix to Flagstaff etc). Think 4.88s are the way to go? I may end up pulling a small enclosed trailer from time to time too.

I like it. I know US highways are long and flat (especially in the west), but I've never thought we needed giant-ass vans geared so that they cruise at 85mph. Much better for me to be geared a bit lower when I hit the hills, especially when I'm right at GVWR...

RV time! This CA based E450 toy hauler is cool!

Looking forward to seeing complete pictures of this beast. That vehicle with a small Jeep or something behind would cover all the bases.

I hope this isn't a stupid question but...

Is there any fundamental difference between converting an E-350 RWD and an F-350 RWD to 4WD?

Thanks

For sure, the frames are completely different so nothing is interchangeable. I've seen guys convert 99-04 F series trucks to 4wd with mainly factory parts, not sure on any other generation.

V4 2.0 is back! The body shop nailed the body work, the cab back isn't easy to blend to the steel so they put a TON of hours into it. Then painted the whole van so everything is perfect. Now we can start to final assemble this thing!
