im new to this site and been looking and the many different ways people use there vans and many different styles.....
i just purchased a 92 E250 5.8 hd trans 3.73 rear gears 8500 towing
it has been lifted already with just springs as i can see.... 16" rims with 285/75/16 tires that were shot
so this weekend i found a killer deal on 16" center line wheels and cooper tires so im running on those for know and will update or change the simulated beead lock wheels later...
we plan on making our selves pre runner front bumper and custom rear bumper with tire mount.... also a full custom roof rack with off road lights and loading lights....
also we will finish the inside but not sure at this time what all total we will do
at times i will be towing a over all 30ft trailer so thinking of installing airbags for the rear and electric brakes ... maybe even up date wheels on van and trailer to match
i already have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd quad cab that i have owned since new
we also will be working on a design and will wrap the van to promote our business...
we use the van at least 3 weekends a month for car and bike swap meets and races..
some the sand drags and asphalt drags 3 day events and hope to sleep in van
my shop is on a busy street so we will park the van for a big banner....
we build custom golf carts and side x sides (rhinos etc)
my shop is also next door to a junk yard and have picked up some later model door panels and other little stuff.... i have also installed a 24led in the rear dome light
also have pulled out the green carpet and cut and fitted new 1/2 plywood for the floor wittch we will remove at a later date to install insolation....
have been looking alot around here and alot to see and learn some great ideas.... im not sure how far i want to take this van....
i did gat a killer deal and will work for awhile but not sure if i will want to upgrade to a newervan or what.... was thinking about the extended van but the long back end would not be tow freindly for the trailer i pull now or will upgrade to....
as of now will will use the van for about 6 races this year maybe more
pretty cool thanks for the feed back... i know now the ass end of my trailer kicjks out bad with the truck and to have that much longer from the rear end it will kick more
from the bacl of the rear tires the the back of the trailer is farther than yours on your weekend warrior
got some of my company logos on the van for now... my designer is working on a full rap design for later.... changed out the wheels for now while i have the others acid dipped
went today and picked up the bilstein shocks for the front... might install them tonite....
my hydro graphics guy drop off a sample of the skull design im wanting to use on our drag cart and the grile,bumpers,wheels, and mirrors of the van
