We drove 2 hours to look at the V10 van today. The dealer was asking clean retail but the interior was pretty hammered. They wouldn't drop the price much so I had to come home without it. The search continues...
I've found two vans that I'm going to look at this weekend. Both are RB E350s. One is a 2013 V10 with 79k miles for $18900, the other is a 2014 5.4 with 32k miles for $21900. I'm planning on converting to 4x4 with a Ujoint kit, so I like the idea of the V10 van with 5R110 trans, but the mileage...
This might help you.

I printed out the PDF file in post 5 and got a quote to have the floor cut, pieces for the front and rear panels, and the side walls cut and bent all in 12Ga steel for $300.
I think with the extra weight of the Unlimited you'll want 4.56 or 4.88s. The 30 in my LJ has survived some pretty hard wheeling in Moab with 37"s, but there's a reason I never put a locker in it. I've seen lots of locked 30s with popped ujoints and outer shafts running tires as small as 33"s.

I called HeftyFab a few weeks ago to order a front bumper for my 2012 Frontier and was told they don't actually make one for the Frontier at this time. Shrockworks is a 3-4 month wait so I'll probably order a Calmini pre runner bumper for now.
I would like one for a 2012 4dr Frontier please. :drool: One feature that I would love to see is zip open screens like Sportsmobiles have. It would be great to use as a wildlife photography blind.
Wow I've really neglected this thread. I've been making a few mods to it here and there make it work better for my purposes. Of course like any build it's never really finished. I'd like to add a battery system, and it still needs some Wedco fuel can holders and a propane tank mount. I had added...
I just came across this thread and think I've found the replacement for my Kamparoo. I really like that stove and sink setup. And those extra rooms look great. My Kamparoo is a great setup with a few additions but it's not really built for offroad duty.
