I just asked a question about door seals and when I hit “post” I saw it was my first ever post... oops.
So this is my intro then. I first saw a Sportsmobile 20 years ago in the infield of the NHIS race track in NH. I was towing my race bike with an older lifted Discovery and it was a horrible tow vehicle. The SMB rig was lifted, bumpers, top and about as cool a rig as I’d ever seen. I looked up the price and the shock banished the thought. I bought an F150 and was happy.
Fast forward to the present. I discovered that MG Metalworks was close to my new home in Portland and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a van. I searched for a year hoping to find a high roof, large window, extended van in white with a 7.3 diesel. I finally found one in TN for $3800.
It’s now almost a year later. MG did a great job and I’m getting around to working on the smaller issues. I have a build thread on Expo forum because I thought this forum was only for the legit SMB owners. I hear rumors that you’re a more helpful crowd.
Anyway, here’s a few after shots. The build is in the other thread.
Well, that’s a quick overview. Lots more detail in the thread on Expo.
