Hello all,
It's been a while since I've been on here and I miss it. After having a truck/slide in camper for 2 years I went in search of a van as my adventure rig. I missed the off road ability of a capable 4 wd van.
I found this 2003 7.3L EB 4x4 (Denver Fleet conversion)! It's a high mileage rig that has a newly rebuilt tranny and the motor was pulled and gone through. The 4wd system has almost no miles on it. It was a prison transport in Arizona in its past life.
A new blank slate to do my own build on.
Can I be first in line for my next van? Loving your last one!
Still continuing the slow process of a build while still using the van on regular getaways.
Made a galley box out of baltic birch, added a few layers of sound deadening, cut in openings and installed fender vents, and swapped in a full float D60 w/4:10's and a Detroit TruTrac up front.
Oh, also made a side door panel, put 35" Toyo Open Country AT's and AR Mojave wheels on it.
Edit to add: Can any forum mods move this to the Homebuild section?
Got my swivel base from 1der the other day so I decided to toss it in. Great quality and built very stout!! Once I installed it I realized that my previous SMB had a little storage cubby under there to not only be aesthetically pleasing but add a space for stuff I don't need.
I fabbed up some brackets and painted them (not pictured) and made some panels.
