We’ve featured many drool-worthy E-Series overland rigs over the years but today’s epic Timberline Vans (now Timberline Supply) E-350 4×4 has to be the most impressive to date. This extensively modified vehicle was one of the company’s final builds and is a testament to its many years in the industry (see more of their creations on Youtube). Subsequently, you can consider this vehicle Timberline’s Magnus Opus and to that end, the company was involved with every aspect of the build from the ground up. Ordinarily, 4WD conversion specialists are not as hands-on in the project as a whole but in doing so the same uncompromising mechanical and technical expertise is applied to all elements of the build. This comes at a significant cost with parts and labor alone for this rig exceeding an eye-watering $70,000 (full breakdown of work/receipts are available upon request). The result is jaw-dropping, transforming this legendary commercial workhorse into an around-the-world travel companion (learn more about international travel with this platform by referencing the adventures of Daniela Wagner). Unlike much larger expedition trucks or LWB vans the E-350 finds a sweet spot between exterior size and interior living space. A modest footprint makes driving around town and accessing trails a breeze while the boxy design offers generous interior living space (today’s example has been further enhanced with the addition of a Fiberine 30-inch high-top). If you’re in the market for the ultimate turnkey low-mileage (37,222 miles) E-350 overland vehicle then look no further.
From the Seller:
“One of Tim’s last builds. I’ve only used the van three times. Many of the van’s features have yet to be enjoyed. It’s a true off-road van but I’m going in another direction with my camping set up.”
