YETI Interior Build/Overview

[pratty85]

Thanks!
You have to call and speak to John. The one I have, is the second one he has mad custom for an E350. The first one was set up to hold a camera system to film Baja Races.

Nice project!
Regarding adding the crossover steering- is your van the 4" or 6" lift?
Thanks

 

[pratty85]

Thanks, its a 6"

This is why I love this forum! All this valuable input he's already imparted towards the subject, and he's doesn't even consider it a recommendation yet! Keep it coming!

A big +1 from a guy who's darn near scratched a bald spot in his head over the years thinking about which way to go with this part of the build.

I Installed my CB setup.
Cobra 29 PLX LCD W/weather radio/station scanner I used a Grommet in the dash access panel to give it a clean install



Wilson 180 degree dual flex antennas (Not the most ideal setup, but it works for now)




I also had best buy install the Viper 2 way remote Start and alarm system.....big mistake, They did a horrible job, and I had to take it back to them and make them redo everything! It was a big hastle, and their installer was very unprofessional. But they kinda fixed it, I will have to redo some of the wiring yet.....

On an up note, I installed LED lighting in my interior, I am going to get some pics of it tonight, They are 180 Lumens with dim and bright settings, very nice!

Thanks, It took a ton of thought, but I am very happy with the outcome. =)

Mind if I ask why you sold the Yeti? Just saw the new owners post. At least it looks like it'll get well used.

I had some lingering debt in my life and I wanted it to be gone. I have been living in the big city for the better part of a year now, and I realized I could get by with something smaller. Chad asked me if I would sell, and he caught me at the right time of my life. I know he will use it to its full potential and that makes me very happy. I will miss Yeti, I have been through a lot with that van and will miss it dearly.

Debt...I understand that too well. I feel about the same about my truck. Not sure I really need it anymore. There'll be more vans if you ever decide to get back into it. Thanks for the update.

If you are ever in the mood to take on another refit I have the same beast you had. You did a beautiful job! I just don't have the time to redo mine.
Cheers

Thanks, it definitely took time and patience! I live in the upper peninsula, of Michigan now, you are a long long way away! Also don't ever get rid of your van.....I seriously regret ever getting rid of mine. Do you have a U-joint conversion?
