Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
Was able to spend some time on two other projects that had been on my radar.
The first was some shelving in the closet. For the last couple of years we've simply packed our duffle bags and...

Posting the bikerack here to keep my build thread up to date.

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
Hey Brian - Congrats!
meh - the plasti dip bumper is holding up, but I'm not terribly excited how chalky the front bumper looks. Maybe it's seen one too many days of direct sun light, but it...

Among my many other little SMB projects, I finished this one up last night in prep for our 5day camping trip at Robert H Truman state park starting tomorrow.

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
There's a really nice black SMB here in central NJ, although I'm sure he's not on the forums. I've seen him a handful of times down by my office in Neptune NJ and work with a guy who knows the SMB...

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
It's not too often that I get a chance to report using the SMB vs. working on it - although it has to be said that all the work I've done are improvements (not repairs) to make using it even more...

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
Put together a little price list for those of you who might be considering building your own roof rack. Assuming you have most of the equipment/tools, here’s a quick break-out of what I ended up...

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
good eye - yes, a bit worried. It def wasn't one of my better connection details, but even knowing it wasn't a smart approach I never made any adjustments during the build :d7:

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
The flooring isn't nearly as strong as I had hoped, but it'll do for now. Just have to make sure to step on the cross members

Re: New SMB Owner: 93 Ford E250 2x4
