Is it custom dimensions to fit your truck bed?

It's nice to see that the awning is up high enough that you can open the doors.

Come on, this is a perfect candidate for a Cadillac front clip. :D Hopefully the driveline is OK.

It's horrible but I always get horrible fuel economy when I'm sitting behind a V8. I think I was getting 9 mpg with a total weight of 16,000 lbs driving at 55 mph. The trailer is the perfect dimensions to match the van which are 7 x 16 with a 6'6 interior. Total length is about 40'. Going...

2004 Chevy Express 3500 Roadtrek with 5" lift. I also went through all of the cabinets and tuned up the latches so they are tight and don't jiggle. :D I haven't gone offroading yet but it now has about the same clearance as my Jeep with a 2" lift but obviously the wheelbase is totally different.

I've used something similar from Weldtec. They are easy enough to put in, there are a few videos on how to do it.

Mission accomplished. Took me about 16 hours over 3 days.

Things are getting close to happening.

A Roadtrek on a Chevy or Mercedes chassis may get you close to what you want except for ground clearance. Some of the Roadtreks are AWD if that is good enough for you but you could get a 2wd and do a conversion. How do those Fords handle with the next to zero wheelbase and long overhang?

I would start with reading the codes with a professional reader. I have the same engine & transmission in my Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has reasonable diagnostics onboard. You should also consider replacing the fluid with the correct fluid specified in the manual and get it to the correct...

I would do everything possible to get body panels with factory paint on them even if that includes driving to pick them up. That will ensure that everything ages in the same manner.

Having a salvage title is probably good for crossing borders. Back when I toured part of Central America in 2001 you had to have one of the passports stamped with the vehicle import & export. If the vehicle was not exported the passport owner had to pay some heavy tariffs. One would think...

Has anybody seen an AliArc bumper for a Chevy sitting at the wreckers? I'm trying to hunt one down. Cheers, Steve

Good to know about having two jacks available. Did you put gaiters on the shocks? I think my kit shipped on Monday but I haven't been watching the tracking. I will definitely be doing videos when I get around to doing the job but it isn't scheduled yet...hopefully within 30 days. You can...

That is an interesting jack, I have not used one of those before. Jack stands always need some sort of support be it on rough concrete, dirt, hot asphalt, etc. I have some 12" x 12" plate I use or I double up the jack stands. I noticed that the manual for the stands I am looking at say you...

What are you guys using for jack stands on your vans? I have a Roadtrek Chevy Express 3500 which has underslung cargo so the typical 3.5 ton jack stands are unable to reach up to the frame as they max out at 20". They work fine on the rear axle but that's about it. I'm looking at 12 ton jack...

Those are really well done videos from both the filming perspective and the technical perspective.

You could probably get the aluminum track and rubber trim from a boat supplier and follow their directions. You need to cut the rubber short so that it can shrink and expand.

I have ordered a Weldtec Designs lift as they have a sale on. 5" up front and 4" blocks in the back as they felt that taller blocks could lead to problems. I'm unsure about when I will install the kit. The first thing I need to do is find some frame stands tall enough to let me bring the lower...
