Hey guys newbie around here, doing a ton of reading on this forum and all over the place. Picked up a 2008 Ford E350 RB that has had a Body off "restomod" done to it. 2010 F350 axles for the 4x4 conversion and a torn down 6L overbuilt rebuild. Mechanically it was done very well, overbuilt truly, and drives great! I believe the guy was actually also on here.
I've decided to call her "Vantera", will move it forwards from here and do exterior and interior mods. Looking to do a removable, light camping build on interior and already have a set of Sienna seats to install to replace the benches for the kids. Fronts will get a replacement as well. Exterior will get the typical front and rear bumpers, looking at true rock sliders and skid plates. Lights, winch, roof rack - the typical built.
I have a friend that was looking at an exact identical van frame off. I think it was listed around $48k. It had reg seating trim but no build out, I'm wondering if this is it? I told him it'd be a good buy he had dropped it to $46k.
Slowly working on her - new Methods and 37s, Installed front Ujoint bumper with warn 12k, flares mounted and spray lined flares, rockers and bumpers. Baja lights n sPOD setup came and installed.
Ordered up and waiting on Ujoint rear bumper and sidesteps (will eventually fab some real rock sliders i think but wife couldn't get in van easily and was getting annoyed haha). Picked up and installed another set of leather Sienna seats ( i think they are 3rd row style, not sure), the grey leather matches my highlights on my mid row lazy boy style Sienna seats i installed. I built a easily removed, rear slider drawer setup sized for the new Decked Dboxes i got from a buddy (wish i would bought longer slider brackets, next time). Sits under my new "Flated" bed setup - I love the idea of this thing, easy to pull out along with the seats and drawer when one wants to use the van for picking up/moving something.
Up next other than the Ujoint stuff to be installed, i need to get stereo installed and look at house battery install with solar connections, and new USBs etc for camping/travelling through out van. While away to Europe late spring, the van is setup to be fully bedlined with a total color change. Will be cool to come back to it fully finished.
DB,
Simple formula which will resolve the pic issues:
Open the Pic & CROP it first (1/8" will do), then SAVE.
Now you can attach the pic to your post and it will show up in correct orientation.
Don't ask me why this works, but it does.
*You have approximately 24hrs to go back into any post & edit if you're inclined (this includes deleting pic's and reattaching).
