2018 Transit CCV Pop Top, Weld-Tec, Aluminess, SoCal

Here is a video they did on the build ()
Fox rear shocks

285/75/17 BFG all terrains
Vancompass front receiver hitch
Aluminess spare tire carrier (passengers side)
Aluminess rear storage rack (driver’s side)
CCV side ladder

This van has been great for us to transport 5 and sleep 5. The bottom bed is about 72x60” (queen) and the upper bed is the standard 52x80. The upper bed is better but the bottom bed is great too. We are finding that we don’t use it like we used to.
The van was built with Baja backroads in mind but understanding that most of our driving was highway. The van drives great on the highway and will do 85 mph all day long. Works great when the 285s are aired down on baja washboards. The last thing I would add to it would be a limited slip rear, but with my use-case, I have never needed it. I carried a removeable winch on a tray for the front hitch if I ever got into trouble.

Van currently has 88,xxx miles and is located in San Clemente, Ca. Not in a rush to sell.

Price is $50k. I have receipts for everything on the van. This is a ton of value. I have owned it since 2020.

What kind of mpg do you get with that lift and 285s?

Gets 14 mpg but I don’t drive it gently. Could probably do slightly better if I drove 55 mph. I’ve gotten as high as 18. It’s nice and peppy though even with the 285s.
