Location: Flagstaff, Az Description: This is our tried-and-trusty adventure van. It is a 2003 Ford e350 that I purchased four years and 35k miles ago. It now has 200,000 miles. Life events dictate we move to a vehicle with a couple more seatbelts so I’m parting ways. The van features a 5.4l V8...

No, mine is a semi float. I had a bit of trouble but once I figure out c-clip or not and the spline count it was pretty easy on the OX website to find the right one.

This is in the Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, CA

I finally got a video. Here it is for what it's worth. I realize I should have taken the more challenging line to the right after I made it up so easily.

Mine is 2wd, OX locker and AT tires. I air down for rough/soft roads. I have an ARB single compressor mounted inside the sliding door. With the locker, airing down, and a simple HF come-along I've gotten out of some tough spots. I'm thinking about a winch but I think more important is a...

I have a 2003 e350, extended, with an Ox Locker. All I have is a picture right now but maybe I can get a video soon. We took it to the Cinder Hills OHV park in Flagstaff, AZ earlier this summer and I was really impressed with its ability to navigate the loose unconsolidated cinders. However I...

On another note. I took the rig out to the cinder hills OHV area in Flagstaff. We aired down the tires and locked up the rear. I was amazed what I could motor through. I got stuck once on a steep climb where I left the main track. Once this thing is sunk in the tall gearing (5.33) just...

After the first big road trip with the girlfriend I've realized the beauty of hot showers. Warming up on the shore of the Flathead river after a sunset dip sealed the deal. So, I needed to find a permanent storage location for our propane water heater. The best place I could find was rear...

I really need to take more progress photos... But I finally installed my air compressor. Its the ARB single type. This thing comes with a really slick wiring harness that can control the compressor, cycle it to maintain pressure, and manage multiple solenoids for lockers. I adapted it to...

I did weld it and painted it with the Rustoleum rattle can bedliner. And yeah it's a Surco, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GXF2LC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Everything else was a breeze. The actuator is in the cover and the run for the lines was easy. I still need to install on-board-air, but I tested it with my compressor and everything locks up. Now it’s time to put some miles on it. Maybe I didn’t search this forum very well but I had a...

Wheels, calipers, and rotors pulled. Inspected the level of the fluid, good. Pulled the cover, check the backlash. It was 0.014”, high, spec is 0.006-0.010”. Marked the bearing caps and pulled the carrier. It slid right out which was a little concerning. Nothing seemed strange with the...

Ok, hopefully this is something that peaks people interest. I installed a locker. It an OX locker. Pretty cool system. I picked it because it doesn't have flimsy copper lines in the housing, no drilling holes, and you have your choice of actuation system. Full disclosure, my prior experience...

Been doing a lot of work with van lately since I'm at home. The added incentive of summer road trips on the horizon is also keeping me motivated. Last week I finished up a couple things. I finished welding up my roof rack. It's 12'x5', with a 1.5" outer tubing rim with 1" square cross bars...

Last week I finished up my roof rack and ladder then Raptor lined all the wear surfaces around the van. Next step is a rear locker

I had a little brain blast this morning. I've needed a quick to setup table for cooking on for a while. I've just been cooking in the side entry and it's totally in the way when I need to climb into the van to grab more supplies. I set out to do this project with odds and ends I had laying...

More on the bed and overly complicated lights. The lights turned into, 'I'll save money doing it on my own / now I've spent more money but at least it's unique'. I'm sure you all can relate. I still have a lot to do. Add more battery capacity, an inverter, and microwave. I'm going to...

The bed setup. This is more than just an adventure rig. It's my firewood getter, hardware store rig, and moto carrier. So the bed has to be removable for extra big cargo. Under the bed, I've taken advantage of storing the not-so-often needed items. I've got 22 gallons of fresh water and a...

A little more about the forward cabinet
