    Denver area custom seat base fabricators?

    Hey all, Was wondering if anyone know of any metal fabricators in the greater Denver area that could help me out? I am trying to replace a rear OEM seat in my 1999 Ford e350 passenger van with a rear Tahoe seat so that I the seats have headrests and can fold forward. I had originally intended...

    Biting the bullet, need advice!

    Mileage is supposedly around 92,000 as of May 2016 (curren = 95k). However, the car fax has a mileage # of ~53,000 in early 2011 and ~167,000 in January 2016. Not quite sure what to believe? Here is the ad: http://www.aeromotors.com/2003-Ford-Econoline-Wagon-Essex-MD-2327# Will inform all...

    Biting the bullet, need advice!

    Howdy folks, Tomorrow I am checking out a used 2003 e350 XLT passenger van with a 5.4l v8 engine. It seems like a fair price and in decent shape. I was wondering what those on the forum knew about this model ford van before I put money down. That is, any things I should be aware of...

    Seriously considering this, any advice for a first time 4x4 van buyer?

    Thanks everyone for your opinions. I ended up passing on the sale just cause it wasn't the right fit for me. Now I'm eyeing a few of the vans posted in the vans for sale thread as well as this sweet thing...

    Seriously considering this, any advice for a first time 4x4 van buyer?

    Onemanarmy I definitely agree with you on the price and hope to negotiate it downward, but to what degree I don't know yet. Hopefully when I see it I'll have a better idea.

    Seriously considering this, any advice for a first time 4x4 van buyer?

    Hey everyone, Thanks so much for the responses! I've found out the engine is a 5.4 liter and according to the owner it was a commercial fleet vehicle before he owned it, and the under carriage is in good shape. I'm hopefully gonna set up a meeting soon to get an in person look. As for my own...

    P nut, will do! So far I've been cruising websites today and so far have found multiple 4x4 v6 access cab tacomas with around 100k miles on them for semi reasonable prices. They really do hold their value well... Would a truck with that amount of miles still have enough life in it to last me...

    Hey all! I really appreciate everyone's suggestions thus far, though it still seems I have my work cut out for me as I narrow down my options. To answer a few questions: I will be attending the University of Denver's grad program in international studies this fall and am planning on driving...

    tanglefoot, thanks for the tip on the Tundra - it seems like another contender up there with the tacoma. Maybe my perspective is skewed but the 3rd gen 4runner does seem tiny if two people are living out of it. I'm thinking I'll manage with the two compartments of a truck since I won't be...
