Re: 2013 E350 New Build
It appears that my van has packed on a few lbs. since I weighed it right after the build. About 1400 lbs of gear, food, and water. :m5:
My front axle came in at 4340 and the rear at 4925 for a...

The way I have my system set up, and the way I plan on using it, I don't think it would be beneficial,...

Re: 2013 E350 New Build

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
Maybe we could get enough people on here that want one and we could place an order. I'd really like to try to buy 2-3 more vans before they shit can them. They would probably sell at a premium in a...

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
Skinny if you chose to do this professionally I could see it being a very good side line or even full time endeavor for you. The quality of execution really is amazing.
I'm also quite impressed...

Re: 2013 E350 New Build

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
Coffee, anyone? :b1: Took a little break to try out the inverter.
