    Falkor: 1995 Ford E350 Hightop Wheelchair Build

    Falkor is off to his new owner as of last night. It was a fun 5 year adventure. Now it's time to enjoy the basically stock ecoboost and decent gas mileage again.

    Falkor: 1995 Ford E350 Hightop Wheelchair Build

    Got my front hitch mounted. That's about the only progress I've made since my last post. I'm about to move to CO and I'm waiting until after the move for the bigger tires in hopes of saving some MPG's. I have a few other goodies waiting for me at my new house too. I've been re-imagining the...

    Falkor: 1995 Ford E350 Hightop Wheelchair Build

    I understand that tire size or different offset wheels aren't going to change the caster/camber/toe in anyway that's really noticeable. However, by the time I put the new wheels/tires on I suspect the suspension will be "broken in" enough to change some of the geometry since the initial...

    Falkor: 1995 Ford E350 Hightop Wheelchair Build

    Here's a couple photos from last weekend. Falkor isn't sitting on level ground, but you can at least get a reference for the lift and fenders. Still on the hunt for the right tires/wheels, but they'll be on soon enough. Been spending alot of time at Fiesta Island over the last few months in this...

    A little teaser of this weekend's project. I'll post some more photos when I get my new camera next week. Definitely handles the twisties better and we'll see how the setup works off-road later this month. FYI: Moog CC880S Front Coils Bilstein 33-176857 B6 HD Shock Absorber Bilstein 33-187570...

    Thanks, Billy! Looking forward to the new suspension and bigger tires. Dialing in the interior will be nice too.

    Falkor: 1995 Ford E350 Hightop Wheelchair Build

    Falkor was in a hit and run that damaged the passenger fender. I ended up using the insurance towards Weldtec fiberglass fenders. I have the fenders installed unpainted as we are still figuring out what color we want to go with. I have some HD Bilsteins and Moog CC880s, new tires, spare carrier...

    Falkor: 1995 Ford E350 Hightop Wheelchair Build

    Continued some work on the interior this weekend. The "living room" floor is done and I started the frame for the cabinets/closet/sink area. I'll post up some more when the interior is finished. I still need to do the flooring under the bed as well as finish off the cabinets and storage areas...

    No issues whatsoever. I can turn the wheels fully in both directions and there's still full travel while driving down the dirt. Perhaps it's because it's the E350 and the heavier springs up front allow for those tires. Technically, they are 255/75/16 (25.5 cm / 2.54 = 10" wide. 10 x .75 = 7.5"...
