Who needs a 4WD van when THIS is an option?

Can you still buy this body style? I thought it was all transits now..

love the video-- whats your wheel set up?

I have a 98 f 350 diesel dualie 14box trk.

Nice video,
what was the total cost on the well Texh suspension 5 inch and the rear end?

Jimbob!!!!!😂😂😅😂😅

Bro! Love the t-shirts! \m/ Obituary \m/. He'll yeah! Van looks sweet! What was the conversion cost in full? Thanks

Very nice upgrade. What do the kit/parts cost for this job? What about the labor (I realize he was a buddy). Thank you

cool shirt

Hey Jim, when you swapped out your chrome headlights for the black ones, did the wiring harness remain the same? Gorgeous van. Thanks!

I'm so jealous! I want that! Great video thanks for sharing.

Hi Jim. I Want This Done To My 2002 Ford Van. Still Looks Great. How Much Did It Cost Totally? Looks Awesome.

The biggest advantage to 4WD over 2WD with a locker is in off camber situations on slick ground. With a normal(open diff) 4x4 you've got one tire on each end trying to move the vehicle forward while the other two provide some lateral traction. If one tire on a locked axle spins faster than the vehicle is moving, they opposite tire does as well. Just like drifting or doing donuts, if both tires are spinning faster than the vehicle is moving you have little lateral traction.

I also don't mean anything extreme when I say "off camber". Snow covered or icy roads with a prominent crown can easily cause the back end of a vehicle with a limited slip/locker to drift towards the curb. This is why I'm a big proponent of selectable lockers even on 4x4's. It's not at all hard to find videos right here on YT of locker equipped 4x4's sliding sideways on hills covered in snow or mud.

Glad you shared your dream build with us. My dream is a way crazier and will cost some $$$. Take an E350 cut-away source and an Econoline chassis to be shortened to a Crew Cab. Source an F Series long bed (8-foot). An E-350 pickup truck.

Jim Bob. I have a 93 E150 Club Wagon Van 5.8L. The body is in really good shape. Would you happen to know what pick up truck I can getvused,cheap,that I can have the body of my van,put on the trucks chassis.?

Nice.......... did installing the bigger wheels throw off the speedometer.?

I'm no video expert but want to encourage your creativity with this. I like the mix of context shots, action overlanding shots, landscape, and MB shots mixed into the technical van material. You're not an over-enfuser, like some people, but your excitement and dedication to what you love in life comes through in a more subtle way that I'm assuming is authentic for you. Nice work!

Brother super cool, I’d like to do the same,with Mimi van ,How do a clear a bigger tire en the rear, since the side door is so close to the stock tire? How do I install a wider tire?

cool rig. looks like you got good taste in music too

Good morning, I want to what budget for this project. I need one.

I think something was worn or broken or out of adjustment on these vans that require two hands to drive. Maybe they had too much weight too far behind the rear axle. My E350 EB cruises dead straight at highways speeds. Stock suspension with KYB shocks. Those vans must have needed alignments or maintenance or different loading.

I really want to build a apocalypse ready vehicle and a tiny house in a small van how much money would I need..

Can a E-350 V8 econoline be converted to a V10 on its chasis?

Great build! I missed seeing what engine is in your van. Can you update? 😊

Just saw a video on a body swap to diffrent chassis. I have a 93 E150 Club Wagon Van 5.8L vin 1FDEE14H5PHB57642 and was wondering, can I get a wrecked truck hopefully 4x4 with modern/newer chassis,better TRANS and motor to do the same,AND if so,witch truck would be the one to get that my van body would fit.?
P.S.
I don't want to have to modify anything, would just want to take the body off my van that's in Gd condition, AND put on the newer truck chassis.

Why do wear a nazi shirt

All it needs to be the the most awesome van in the world is an a-team paint job.

Curious what something like this would cost to buy and install for someone who doesn't have a bunch of friends and one with a shop? Also, what kind of gas mileage are you getting with those tires on it and 4WD?

anyone who actually needs a 4x4

Would love to have a van like that.

I love the van man! Looks awesome! What size are the tires exactly, and do you have any wheels spacers on front or rears and what size?

I'm thinking about doing the same, can you tell me about the cost for that. Thank you.

Go action van next

I want to do the same lift for my 09 e350 extended. Can you measure front and rear wheel wells and let me know how high it sits on 35's. Thanks bro. Love the van and my Wasatch overland high top too!!

Great video. I have questions.... what rear axle do you have. And what was the locker you put I. It?

You just get to rambling

Lovely van. I'm sure Tardy brothers would approve 🤘🤘🤘

Pretty sweet set up. Reading through some of the comments and was curious- how is the weld tec lift holding up? Would you purchase it again?
The 4.6, how does she do on the highway, say on Grapevine or any grades?

Im considering purchasing a similar yr van with the 4.6.

Super cool videos. Keep em coming.

does the sliding door open with those tires

Waste of money. Front wheels pointing downhill. Can have all the locker and lift you want...you're still stuck. Should have gone DIY Ujoint OffRoad kit. But hey..it's your dollar. And I'm broke. What do I know? 😛

How was the fitment process for the 35’s? I know they mentioned it requires some trimming to fit 35’s with the 5” lift. Progressive rear springs? Or just the blocks? Didn’t catch which one you did.

What’s with people in cali where gas is the most expensive and driving the biggest gas guzzlers

BMF. Yes it is

That hat tho.... 🤨🧐

Cool vid man.
That’s the game, make the hard work look east.

You should get the smoke headlights makes a big difference on this black front vans

Just had to watch this, as we have almost the same channel name. 😁

I have always wanted one and stated many times to friends that it would make a great bug out van.🤠🇺🇸
