This looks awesome but wow 20HP?? This would actually make my 1990 Toyota 4x4 22RE feel like a power house. lol seriously the 22RE makes approximately 116HP but I swear it feels way less. I guess it’s from the weight of the truck. Back then these trucks were overbuilt. Tough as nails and why...

How much was it??

Does the ac work?? Front and rear? The heat too?? I have a 94 with front and rear heat that works great but I have to fix whatever makes it switch back and forth from heat to air in the rear which I believe is done with vacuum. I’ve had it zip tied in the ac position all summer but want it to be...

Ok I need some assistance guys, I installed a new hitch to the van today and while I was adding a 4 pin flat trailer wiring plug I seen that there was one already there from the factory. I thought this was great until I tested it all out and found everything works except the running lights. So I...

Great thread, I just read it all today. Now my questions are mechanically related. What happened that made you have to replace the engine and tranny at the same time?? Did the engine blow, develop a rod knock, burn a lot of oil, or?? And same with the tranny. Also what stock engine did it...

I concentrated mainly on a 100 mile local radius on Facebook and craigslist, then also kept my eyes on the longer distances being rust free is a must for me. Almost hopped on a plane to go view a few then found my 94 Ford econoline about 20minutes away right on Facebook. I still look for the...

Hey guys on these conversion van windows, should I add some kind of sealer around the side windows ?? Some kind of a silicone or caulk to keep water from settling in there. My 94 is rust free but being 24 years old I am just wondering if there is some preventive maintenance that should be done...

Hello to all hope all is going well, I have recently picked up 3 Coleman heaters off eBay. First I picked up a 5000btu and it’s used but very little, works great, I love it so far. These babies put off no deadly fumes but do remove the oxygen, So using them I just make sure I have a window in my...

Wish I could find another samurai. I had a 88 Suzuki samurai many years ago with 50,000 miles on it and it was super clean rust free. I loved that thing. Believe it or not I pulled my 3 rail trailer with it too. Hauling dirt bikes. Loved that thing. 75mph on the highway she was about maxed out.

No idea on the trees but will be interesting to hear. These pods your making I’m looking forward to seeing exactly how they turn out. I am not sure exactly where your going with them and if they will be sheltered and if so with what and all that. Very interesting stuff. Also will you be entering...

I sure can’t wait for this weather to get better either. It’s driving me crazy, it will snow less than a inch here and they will throw down a ton of salt everywhere. This drives me crazy, I cover up the van and get out my car until the salt has gone. Glad to see you did get some more done and...

Mine would be a toss up between deals gap AKA the dragon or 116 which is in Tennessee not far from deals gap. It’s just as good as the gap without the traffic. I’ve always loved my vans and motorcycles as they go together so well. Load up the van and trailer then drive until I decide I wanna...

I like using a magnetic drain plug as for sticking them on my filter I have a fear of them not staying there. lol I am sure they would. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

Ha ha yea no doubt.  No really though as of now I lucked out, we both love our van and our motorcycles. We Plan to do a lot of camping and riding this summer. We like to go to the Tennessee/Georgia area, find a spot to camp and ride the awesome roads. We always hit deals gap, AKA (the dragon)...

I was just watching a video of yours and you said the trailer weight was around 900lbs?? If so that’s awesome I had been reading on trailer weights and seeing it stated that a 6x12 weighs twice that. I hope your weight is accurate being I’ve been wanting a smaller trailer thinking a 6x12 was...

Wow I’ve just read the whole thread getting all excited to see how this trailer build turned out with the side pods and all. Just read the last post and realized this is still in progress. Count me in for the rest of your build/ journey. You seem like a awesome dude, really cracks me up when I...

is this type of device available for my van?? 94 econoline 150 5.8l??? I don’t even have a tach and really can’t hear my engine enough at highway speeds to know my rpms. I would love to have a plug in device that could tell me all of this info you mentioned. MPG, trans temp, rpms and such. I...

Any secrets on getting these covers on a big ol van without it taking everything out of ya?? First time I spent almost a hour just getting it on the van. Since then I’ve had the wife help.

Thinking about the solar panels I would definitely not want to park in the sun so mounting them on the roof won’t work for me.plus I only will be using it for camping so may not even need any solar. For my electric needs I may build a large capacity bank out of lightweight life cells to run...

Well when I decide I want something I search everywhere for as long as it takes. I was surprised this search only took a few months. Ended up finding this listing on Facebook marketplace. It was listed at 8,000 and I checked it out and showed them a stack of 5,000 all in 20 dollar bills. They...
