    This is a great style of build. I did a promaster with 2" lift. My first dream (and maybe my next build due to increasing hight restrictions in city bylaws) was a ford or chevy with side barn doors and a pop top

    sick! I have been wanting to get a van or truck built out. But for van I would need 4x4 and so expensive. Its looking sweet with that new cap on it! I will have to look into the ford vans more for this conversion. I still think a older truck and camper on back may be more doable for my budget. Hyped to see how your buildout inside goes

    One advantage to the Ford over something like a Promaster is the availability of hinged side doors; my Promaster has a frustrating slider that opens much larger than needed for a person to get in and out, is loud to use and often falls out of alignment. The double doors also allow different interior layouts, such as a washroom behind the second door, which would only be opened when it's time to dump the cassette.
    The downside is that the Ford's door ends at the former roof height while my Promaster allows me to walk through standing straight.

    A few years ago you could get a used Sprinter van with 70,000 miles on it for $11,000. I just saw a 350 Ford work van of the type of this van and they wanted $18,000 for it. It's tough to get a good deal on a van these days.

    100% When I 1st saw that bed rail of a rear axle on the sprinter I was done. That and how fast the rust eats around all the edges, not for me. To each their own, not knocking to be knocking. My $ went to a 12' chevy express extended with the small 4.8v8 gas (for mpg) 1 wheelie-peelie (road only, don't like even wet grass). Getting a high top. Likes-wide enough to sleep sideways (I'm 5'10") leaving lots more room for 'garage'(moto too), better tow vehicle(10k lbs), almost anyone can fix it, parts everywhere, (got 210k on it now) been reliable, I like the looks. Misses-avg 15mpg (always could be better), 'small v8 needs more torque. I do like the 'sprinter' look. The Ford transit mid/high is a better 'sprinter', has a real trans and rear axle and I'm sure they get better mpg,, but you can't sleep side-to-side unless you buy/install those extender things-more $ and I could have 2-3 chevy/ford 'regular type' vans for price of entry. Whatever rocks the boat! Good to have choices 🤘👍

    Looks good. Luckily you have a white van. Also, good call on going with the flat older style Maxxair vent. I have switched back to these after having a few of the taller, hooded ones. Not only do these look better on vans but they also flow a lot more air than the waterproof style.

    I just subbed! I saw that you're getting a hightop installed and that's what I want to do, so.....I can't wait! I'm gonna be a good little sub and wait. I was sick as well and I swear it's lasted a month! My best friend even went to the hospital and stayed for a couple of days, got an IV bag of antibiotics, felt great, came home, and was sick again within 4-5 days. Whatever is going around is ugly!Do you have any places called Urgent Care or even a Walgreens should have a Care Clinic that could get you in fairly fast on the same day. I was never real nasally sounding or feeling, just a very scratchy voice and a cough, but it was a productive one. I'm still hacking in the morning and have no energy. I hope whatever has ahold of you goes away quick! Oh, I slept and slept too. I ended up finishing a Z-pack and some steroids that my friend had and it has helped. I know, I know, you're supposed to finish a round, but when you're that sick, the last thing you want to do is go sit in a waiting room with other sick people! Enough sick talk. That looks so bad ass! I can't wait to get mine! I have a 2011 Ford E250 van that we've been going back and forth on whether or not we should get a smaller trailer to pull behind so we can stand to cook and get dressed. You know what I'm talking about. also, we have a cat and a Pit mix. Theres just so many pros on getting the hightop. We have enough solar to power an entire RV so if we should decide to get something to pull, for more room, we can always do that later. I think this is the way to go!Btw, I know what it feels like to have your spot found out about. Now it's just gone. A flood washed it away after 20 plus years of going there. I would just go on week days so I didn't have to put up with anyone around me. It was the perfect place! It sloped into the water where you could plop your cooler in between your low rise lawn chairs and it had the most clear water! And a swimming hole with a cliff directly across that you could climb and jump off into the deep part. God, I miss that place! Sorry about the short book I'm writing! I'm kinda dopey from all the pain meds and the antihistamines. I am a chatty Kathy though! I admit it! Man, I love the sound of water when I'm sleeping! Nothing like it! At least your place is still there! I'm going to check out Wasatch Overland! I've heard a couple of horror stories from other places I won't mention. I also want to get a window installed like Chrome has on his Ford on Vancity Vanlife. Thanks for letting me yammer. Take good care and feel better! Peace!

    I think I'm missing something here at least according to the title. I was hopeful to learn how much cheaper? Did you mention the cost of the hightop and installation or perhaps the cost of lift and 4 wheel drive and van as compared to a Sprinter Van?. Perhaps you mentioned it other videos you posted. I will check. It was a beautiful place near the falls. Too far off the beaten path for an old buzzard like me but it is great watching the younger folks enjoy!

      Yes it’s not 4wd check my other videos and there’s a link to the high top right in the description

    Great video. I don't normally subscribe to many channels but just did to yours. What year is the van? 4x4? I have a tricked out Transit but I have always like this style of Ford vans. I want one. Thanks

    So they cut the roof cross bars / reinforcements and installed a fiberglass tub? Your not planning to roll this thing are ya? Overall it looks great, I dig the lift and 33” (?) but if it was mine, I would have done it somewhat differently. (Main concern being safety)

      It’s on 35’s but that’s the best thing about having your own vehicle you can do whatever you want with yours
