Well, since I've asked a ton of questions and hounded everyone for advice, I figured I should let you know what we ended up with after all this time. The van is scheduled to go into production on July 10. Here is a rundown of the options.
- 2007 Ford RB Diesel (Pueblo Gold)
SMB 4x4 conversion
AMSoil
PH with Bed
Espar Diesel Air Heater
Flat Plate Heat Exchanger
Custom floor plan (aisle/gaucho configuration)
Marine Vinyl Flooring
Day/Night shades
Ultra leather on both captain seats (2 tone)
16g Fresh Water tank
Porta Potti
Exterior Shower
XL Storage
1 AGM 4D Battery
Solar prewire
Thule Track Mount
Trojan Tire Carrier
Nerf Boards
Bushwackers
Bug Deflector
Additional insulation for fridge (2.7 cf)
Window tint
Two tone ultra leather door panels
Kenwood Receiver w/Front Aux Input (no other electronic/stereo changes)
That is pretty much it. We did not add any custom bumpers, wheels or tire upgrades at this time. These can all wait for later. Also, we did not add the Espar Diesel Preheater yet due to the costs, another option we can add later if needed. This will also be my every day driver.
Thanks again everyone for all of the help, you made these decisions so much easier and well informed. Now the waiting game begins...
The custom storage cabinet on the driver's side of the van in the rear is 17" tall. It is designed to store the porta potti and is also weight bearing. We will have tie downs installed above it and it will be used to stack all of our miscellanious gear on trips.
