New 4x4 Build/03 7.3 with SMB top
This is a great example of a van with a ton of potential getting what is deserves. A SMB pop top and a UJOR 4x4 conversion! This 03 van is a gem with under 15K on the clock and it still smells new. The customer had it sent directly to SMB IN for the pop top and then we started to play with it. 6" lift, stage 2 front axle w/RSC, Stage 2 Sterling rear, all of the good stuff. There's still a lot to come like a rear skid with an interior floor box, onboard air, modified stock bumpers and some steps. I'll post pics as we move along.

Re: New 4x4 Build/03 7.3 with SMB top
Wow!!!
15K... I can't imagine.
Really cool project though. Definitely will be watching this thread for updates.
Curious also what the modified stock bumpers will look like...

Where'd they find that? In a barn in the back country? So few miles. Looks so clean.

Yes, holy grail of the van world! This van was on an AF base.

Re: New 4x4 Build/03 7.3 with SMB top
At the risk of prying into business that isn't mine, do you know how much the new owner paid for it? That is gonna be a very sweet ride when it's done.

Re: New 4x4 Build/03 7.3 with SMB top
I asked him if it was ok, and he said yes. 18K for the van. There were 3 of these that came available at the same time and they all sold for that.
