Re: New build, 2014 E350

Couple questions... is the Steel Blue a factory color? and what is the interior height of that top?

Re: New build, 2014 E350

Yep, factory color. I'll have to measure the interior height but I can stand up in it, 20" top.

Re: New build, 2014 E350

Ummm chris you never told me that you were going to be doing traveling 4x4 road shows for the Tropical Fish Expo...

Do the filters for the fish tank on V4 in the background run on DC or are you rigging up an inverter to keep the swimmers breathing? If you are up in the NW sometime I can take you out and we can catch some steelhead to put in there although I do think that might be against some WDFW regulation, hard to say since the rule book is thicker than the book of mormon.

I truly don't understand why everyone doesn't own one of these!

Still plugging away making panels/etc. Hope to have it done by the end of next week then it goes to the upholstery shop. I'll post pics of course.

Re: New build, 2014 E350

Forgot to update thous thread! The van is done, coming back for a few little things this week but the customer is very happy after its 1st outing. Here's the final list of goodies, not including the interior. i'll be shooting a video this week that will give an interior tour.---

6" UJOR 4x4 conversion with progressive springs, dual front Bilstein 5160 series shocks, Stage 2 front axle w/RSC upgrade and a Dynatrac diff cover, UJ overload airbags, UJ aluminum fuel tank, NV271 transfer case, 1350CV driveshafts front & rear, UJ rear skid system with a Deka 8A4D battery & underfloor storage, Aluminess front bumper with a Rigid 30" light bar and 4 Rigid dually lights along with a Warn VR12000 winch that has synthetic winch line and relocated control plug. Our back there is another Aluminess bumper that has their Deluxe box as well as some 4" Rigid LED lights. All lights are wired to the factory upfitter switches in the dash. To help the passengers we have a set of AMP running boards. Up top is a 20" Aero hi top from Fiberine and we fabricated a complete custom interior. Check our video page for a walk thru tour. Where the rubber meets the road we have some 35/12.50/17 Toyo MT's and XD Addict Wheels.
