He had a couple of Econolines, converted to 4wd with MG and sold, then bought a Transit for awhile and now I think he's just got his F150. If you look on his Instagram you can see that he bought a travel trailer to pull behind it.

Thanks for sharing Mike. Anybody, that has been around or worked with Josh, knows what a truly inspiring guy he is.

You can just see it in the video -- or at least, one end of it with the 'JAYCO' logo.

Wow!You never do know do you.I love seeing inspirational stories like this and have been very fortunate that I have met many folks that have made me think that I have it pretty damn easy.Don't know about you but these stories have got me through some situations, as you realize that there are a lot of people out there that have far more challenges than oneself.
Thanks for posting!

I used to read his posts, mostly the posts about MG's kit in the early stages. I remember thinking, this guy is really good at understanding and working on these Van's. Then I saw a video of him working underneath his van. I was floored to see the things he was able to do without any legs.
My respect for this guy as a vanner and a man shot to the stratosphere.
This guy is an amazing role model for any person who says "I can't"

Hey y’all! Long time no chat!

MG told me y’all were being too nice so I figured I’d come see what was going on and say thank you for all of the kind words.

Yes, it’s true... I’m a boring truck guy now. Just moved to Boise Idaho and was planning on running around heading to ski events all over the NW area and my 2wd transit wasn’t gonna cut it so I decided to go truck/trailer and have enjoyed it so far. Sure do miss the #vanlife though!

I also miss all of the amazing people on this forum, y’all were always so awesome. Glad to see everyone’s still active on here, I’ll have to come back more often!.

Gotta change that signature Josh. I'm a boring truck guy now too, you won't be alone.

WOW is all I can say----and yet no matter how many words I could write they're simply NOT worthy of Josh! Holy Cripes!

I'm former USMC, 1968-72, suffered what by comparison are paper cuts against Josh's ordeal.

Endure, persevere, overcome was drilled into us---he seems to embody that one million percent!

Thanks to MG as well---I'm so very grateful you posted this!
