I joined the forum the other day. And there is so much to learn.
I've had a 97 e350 diesel van for about 10 years now, but after spending a month down in Arizona exploring back roads with the jeep and a tent, we decided we're better off to convert the van to 4wd. (I got extremely tired of putting up the tent every night)
So we're trying to find a front axle, and maybe a newer rear axle with disc brakes.
I think I will get the 6" kit from ujoint, and 35" tires.
If anyone is coming to Moab anytime please send me an email and I would love to check out your van. Bob

Welcome to the forum!
I was just there on Thursday. My favorite time of year there.

I just looked up your profile and took a quick look at the picture album that you shared, your van is awesome!
Since your in Fruita, we're practically neighbors!
And I like this time of year also, not tourist season.
Oh, thank you for the welcome.

Hello Jeff,
Thank you, for the welcome, and yes please let me know if you come down.
But I am a long haul trucker, so I am gone quite a bit, but if I'm home I would like to take a look at your van.
And we will be coming up to SLC on the 22nd for my wife's doctor appointment on the 23rd. So maybe we could meet?
