How do you like those Sidio crates? I've been getting bombarded by ads on Instagram for them. I guess in the context of "overlanding" they are not too expensive, but i had a hard time justifying the cost for around the house stuff :)
2013 V10, 4x4, 6" lift on 35s, speedo corrected.
10 mpg if we drive at 65 on the highway.
I second Scotty's comment on looking for 2005+. The 5 speed transmission is way smoother than any of the other 4 speeds I've driven.
Can't speak to reliability since we've only had the van for 15k...
This one's an extended, but...

I'm running one on my RB and am pretty happy with it. I haven't messed around with it since the initial install, but I like that it allows for a decent amt of flexibility. I'm planning on scooting my RTT forwards and moving the gutter rail clamps around a little bit to better support the...

Whatever machine you choose, be sure to check the warranty period. Primeweld supposedly has...
I was thinking the same thing. My 2013 E350 RB w/ 12 passenger seating, RTT, and UJOR conversion weighed in at a hair over 8,000 lbs. Of course taking out just a couple of those heavy bench seats brought it under the 8k mark.
I believe Chris mentioned to me that the 4x4 conversion (t-case...
I sprayed Woolwax under my van this past fall. Was pretty straightforward, but I think I didn't stir it enough to get it flowing properly. Came out pretty clumpy and I think I used more than I needed to. This was with the gallon containers + spray gun that they sell.

Went to check out a small OHV park near us. My van got stuck about 300 ft in on the trail. A thick layer of ice over the deep snow meant that as soon as the tires broke through the ice, we were lodged in real good. Dug out the wheels a good amount and tried to use the traction boards, but...
