Timberline 4x4

I saw a photo of a sweet 2011 4x4 van, the owner said it had a complete conversion by Timberline. Google takes me to their website that is under construction. I did find this link though Anyone have experience with Timberline?

2004 Ford E-250 Custom Timberline Conversion Van 4WD

Looks like it may be a rebranding of Denver Fleet 4x4.

It is/was Denver Fleet. I talked to Tim, the owner, when I was deciding on 4wd conversion back in the Fall. Pricing is competitive to (better than) Quigley/Quadvan but I cannot speak to quality/components used, etc.

My van is a Timberline/Denver Fleet.
I have been happy with my conversion for the most part and Tim has been great to work with.
I can say that it rides better and turns sharper and stops better than my 04 SMB did.
I had to change out the shocks that were on the conversion because of the added weight of my interior build.

I've seen a few of Tim's vans (Denver Fleet) aka timberline vans. Four in the last month have come thru the shop at CCV for pop tops. They are solid builds and looks very similar to Dereks conversion other than non adjustable arms. I got to drive one the other day and was impresse, I had driven an earlier conversion about 4 years ago an wasn't inpressed. He's gone a long way from his first vans and it's great to see that he has built a quality product. Just wish he'd use better shocks.

A friend of mine had a van from them and they ****ed with his odometer, albeit accidentally. His van had a lot of electrical issues. I'm kinda of the mind of you get what you pay for.

I stand by my statement above Tim does great work & they build roughly 50 vans a year. Plus the also sell full kits for a DIY.

Every company is gonna have something go wrong at some point. It’s what they do when it does. Tim is a stand up guy and does right by his product... meaning he’ll stand behind it.

Instead of making a general comment like the electrical statement what was the exact issues and the outcome...

I bought a van from Tim at Timberline about a month ago and have been impressed so far, but haven't had too much time lately to take it out as I'm working on building out the inside. 4x4 conversion, diesel 2004 E350

Hello All, my first post to the group. Glad to hear good things about Timberline. I just purchased the DIY kit for my newly acquired 2004 E250. Tim has been very helpful in the process and the delivery to California was done without any issues.
