Another noob around

Just wanted to check in and say hello.
My name is Karsten, I'm from Bavaria, Germany and bought an empty '98 E-250 2WD cargo van last week.
The van replaces my '00 RAM 2500HD. Although I wanted a 4WD van, I ended up with the 2WD as there was nothing else available over here.
The van will get a 2" leveling kit, some 265/75-16's and a quick release basic camping interior.

Welcome.

I like the paint scheme, I was considering that for my old van.

Welcome aboard!

You maybe know that Schluchtenflitzer is a German member of the forum. You may take contact with him for tips or question about your van... ;-)

I actually met Didi at the offroad fair in Bad Kissingen last month and crawled under his SMB We're already in contact through FB We live about 15mls away from each other.

Thanks for the welcome BTW.
