      @wildbill23c 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. I think that van is much better for weight distribution than a pickup, it'll help a lot out on the trails for sure having a better front to rear weight ratio.

    I converted mine with a F350 front end, replaced my front I beam with the solid axle. Installed the the transfer case and regeared the Dana rear end and added a rear air locker and front hub lockers. Switched out my 351W for a 408W. Have a high idle kit as well. I like the side ladder and roof rack.

      Did you have a difficult time smogging or registering the 408 stroker?
      Also, how is the ride quality and bump steer on your front end? Thx!

    $9,000 for a turn key 4x4 conversion!!! That’s an excellent price!! I’m super stoked for you Jason!! I’ve always dug 4x4 vans and these guys make it affordable. You couldn’t come close to that price here in Los Angeles. The whole project came to together and it just looks bitchin. Super smart to have the tranny gone thru and upgraded and coils are the way to go! Death wobble can be dealt with by proper adjustments to the stock Ford settings for toe and camber. Good luck with Sasquatch and years of taking it on continuous overland adventures!!!
