Hello,
I have been a member for about 6 months and feel that its time to post my build...

After searching for over a year I found my rig,

2002 E350 EB 7.3 PSD with an 8inch 4x4 conversion that was done back in 2002 by http://www.sportsman4x4.com/clydesdale/

It was the 1,066 build out

What it looked like when I bought it last Oct

The inside was basic

It came with ARB lockers & rear airbags

I spent the winter trying to decide which top to have installed, the Sportsmobile penthouse top is nice but I just liked the idea of being able to leave my pillows and bedding on the sleeping platform with the Colorado camper van high profile top, after talking with Derek in Jan I found out that he was booked until April so I gave him my deposit and was put down on the build list.

I love the rear shock mounts, can we see some close-ups of those?

It's always funny to see that what one guy was willing to spend a lot of extra money for another guy says

I agree, looks better low-key.

Nice looking rig.
