@@TheOffroadCamper yeah I definitely agree with you. This lifted 2 wheel drive van with a rear locker gas gotten us into and out of a lot of pretty gnarly stuff, we’ve been stuck twice, and just attached the tow rope to another lifted two wheel drive van to yank us out. I have a Move Embark diy (weld it yourself) bumper I’ll be building soon and throwing a winch on it for self recovery needs. I feel it’s hard to beat a van for space and comfort and i enjoy the reactions we get having a different and less popular lifted vehicle sometimes …
Thanks, I'm loving this set up, and although its got a few dollars invested into the build it saves me a ton money on undesired hotels or rent and i get to change my scenery anytime.....
Haven’t seen this rig in a while! Probably a lot more fun and maneuverable with the lifted shorty setup.. With That T7 hanging off the back this combo is a thing of beauty!!!!
@@holdfast4588 I agree100% This is an awesome combo, and the T7 looks perfect hanging off this Beast! Paradigm shift … the Ultra Blue Beast ain’t going nowhere, I will be dumping some fresh cash into this build over next few months, and this is my main temporary van life hoe on wheels for the foreseeable future …..
Thanks ...... So far so good! Yeah i've had this bed set up in all 3 of our vans so its nice to have a basic slide in slide out bed/storage system for now. I plan to do a bit more permanent set up on the next version of this however still want to be able to disassemble fairly easily to adjust, or bring van to cargo or passenger mode when desired etc....
Thanks, i love this big blue beats of a van and the moped hanging off the back! This van is running the 6.0 turbo diesel motor which most people mistakingly hate due to the trouble it gave so many ford F-series truck and excursion owners when Ford tried to boost too much horse power out of these causing massive failures, luckily the vans and ambulances did not suffer this same fait and you will find 6.0 ford vans with 250k plus miles still cranking on original motors. The lift is a Action Van Suspension 6 onch lift in two wheel drive trim with and added limited slio rear locker, so still vulnerable to getting stuck but does pretty decent in this set up and much less expensive than going full 4x4 conversion. Thanks for stopping by, ill check out your channel....
@@IntoTheMystery13 the motor is a little mellow on the roads but it sneaks up on you and suddenly your ripping 95 mph, and yes it’s a brea usable power and for the off-road stuff, very track able and user friendly so far ….
Nice! mine is a 351w E350. I've posted a couple videos of it. I love your lift system. I like your rack setup too. it seems pretty lightweight but practical.
@@truejoyavery thanks! Yeah I’m pretty happy with this set up, I have a few vans but I think I’m back to focusing on this one, and I really like exploring off-road in it ….
@@crittgolden Thanks, we really enjoy this van, the diesel power and sound of the motor, the basic lift helping us get into nastier areas to explore, and camping out if a van is a great set up in my experience…
@@sebastianslife91 real people doing really shit! 😂 You know the lifestyle my friend, and you know the fake videos of van life that are so prevalent on social media, you and Lola are straight up OG van life ….
@@OmegaGreedAK47 only have about 1300 miles on my T7 so far but I’m loving it! Of course, I’m already burning up my credit cards buying shiny stuff for it online in the wee hours of the morning! 🤣
Motorcycle hitch still working nicely? I wanted to get this style van to haul my KTM 890 and thought this would be a way better way then buying a $30k plus high roof van to put the bike in.
@@maxostrowski5269 this hitch is holding up great so far especially considering the bike weight and I’m off-road bouncing around daily. I love the e-series ford vans, basically a truck with a nice enclosed sleeping area …
@@Chubbydippin I had a 100watt renogy solar panel set up temporarily on my other van to charge this same battery and plan to transfer it over to this set up. Right now I just charge it off the 12volt plug when driving, if I stay stationary and in the shade during the day time the battery can keep my fridge running for 4 days no problem. The heat drastically effects the battery bank, in the 90’s temps I was getting maybe 48 hours of battery life if stationary comparably….
I haul my Beta 350rr on the back of my Sprinter van and would like to carry my KTM 1190r on it but I think it is too heavy. At 550lbs, that's alot for the bike carrier. What does the T-7 weigh in at? Nice video Brother!!
@@erickirn622 I used to carry my 2023 bmw gs 800 off the back of my KLIM company van with this same brand receiver hauler, it was pretty sketchy though! I think this haul master hauler from harbor freight is rated at 600 pounds
That's one sweet rig buddy!👍
Thanks ........ it makes for a great exploration set up
Simple and effective set up I like the fact you got a lifted 2 Wheel drive van don’t need four-wheel-drive for most things

That's sick as can be it's cool to see a real human sized van instead of a stretched mini-van! That's solid work. Thanks for posting this
