Our SMB

We’re fairly members here, so I thought we’d document the changes we’re making to our van. It’s a 2004 E350 Quigley 4x4 Sportsmobile. We sold our FJ Cruiser to buy this since we’ll be traveling full time after retirement. It was in great condition when we bought it, but some areas needed beefing up. This was it the day we bought it.

The first thing needed was bigger tires. It had a little bit of tail wagging the dog that needed addressing.

Next, after several recommendations, I took it to Jared Bratcher at Deviant Customs in Edmond, Ok. He installed the Agile Off Road R.I.P. kit to improve the suspension. He also installed the ARB OBA system.

Next some armor was needed. I had som special needs for the bumpers, so Jared is building them also. The front is close to being complete.

He’ll also be installing the Superwinch 12.5 Talon winch.

More to come.

Lookin' good. I'd love to see the interior too.

love what you're doing ... since you used the plural, looking forward to seeing the rear bumper

Agree with everyone- great color and look. Is the black pvc tube in the rear for black water hose or is that some sort of storage?

That’s the drain for the shower grey water. There is a white pvc tube for hose storage. Most showering will be done outside though. Inside is pretty tight for showering.

I removed them temporarily for some trimming. Here's some more interior pics.
