I can’t wait to finish mine
nice!
I bought a 2012 E350 extended it looks similar to yours inside and the framing process is giving me fits so I'm screenshotting the pics of your framing for ideas, nice build!
Looks cool man , thanks for sharing
Just purchased the same e350 extended passenger van so it was nice to see your layout. I appreciate all of the wisdom you gave me. I was starting to get overwhelmed with framing and choices for ceiling/walls. But hearing you say that was one of the hardest parts gave me relief. Im now fired up to finish that part and keep working! Thanks again
That’s great to hear, just enjoy… it’s a wonderful process:)
Man, you out-did yourself. This has a lot of your personality in it, but it gives me a Viking vibe. Simply a great build. I'm ready for the full tour! - Strike the Viking vibe, it's a an old Pirate Ship! Super nice.
Great advice! Make it yours...nice and thanks!
Thanks for watching , cheers!
great video
How do attach the framing to the van???
Its the most finicky part… hard to text the answer… used self tapping screws liquid nails to attach wood slats for backing wherever i could for the framing:)
Its like legos …
far out. solid build man. diggin the misfits cutouts on the rack
I have the same van, what did you do to black out the windows before you covered over them?
She's a beaut😍& you are a dork but an extremely talented one💁♀️proud of you!
Hey thanks:)
Exterior is done racks and solar. i do have an mt spot near the rear not sure if i'll add a water tank solar shower or an m60 turret mount i'll let you know. Inside is next. Love the MAGA hat. Enjoy.
I absolutely love the shelf for your grill in the garage area. Amazingly clever!
Thank you. It all came out better than I expected, just really thankful to finally be able to do this :)
Josh, great van and great build! Interested in seeing your power system in more detail. I’ve got an ‘08 E350 with. 5.4. Vans look similar,but I’ve got the double doors on the side. I was hoping to see this van buildout as not very many extended vans are on utube. I left my rear air in, rebuilt the floor, added curtains and a 60 amp lithium iron battery. (Auxiliary). Oh, yes, a bed platform similar to yours. Not going to camp in it, but travel in it! (Rear air is wonderful!). Wasn’t sure how to configure it, so put the minimal in it. Also put in a 12v cooler and a porta potti. ( all three are must haves for us)
Anyway we went from Albuquerque to Reno and averaged 17.7 mpg. Fantastic!
I did change plug wires, ball joints, brakes, beefy Cooper tires and moto rims.( no lift)
Tinted windows and we were off. A great van and I’m sure you will love yours as well.
Not a daily driver but I do take it out weekly for local errands. I’ve got 117k miles, so still good to go! Really want to see your finished product as you’ve got some great ideas. Mind sharing? Lol!
Sounds like you are rockin and rollin!!!! I will be making a van tour vid asap:) and will show the solar system as well:)
Nice build sir I went on vacation in the central valley in Tracy california I have a travel trailer planning to buy a e350 like your. Hope to see your van build on my next vacation there sir looking forward.. Merchant sailor here
killer build bro, i have a 3500 chevy express. also a tattooer here in florida @loopimble love the van content. thanks
Thabks ! I appreciate it. Godspeed!
I’m right there (same van ) just stripped and wondering what to do with the heater unit
Do you regret not having it ?
How many miles were on it when you purchased? I'm looking at a 2006 with 32,000
That’s alarmingly low, for odometers can possibly be rolled back so be cautious.
Look at wear and tear on seat-steering wheel-floorboards Or anyplace else there may be signs of wear.
Always be ready to invest into it once purchased… I immediately had to do suspension and fix a door motor/1,500$
@@Joshuarayfarmer That's what I thought too. It was used as a government transport vehicle. It's actually super nice but the low miles worry me.
@@Joshuarayfarmer Great video, I bought a 2004 with 70K on it. They just didnt drive it much, mostly it went to Costco to buy vanloads of stuff for their liquor store. The real telltale is all the bushings underneath. All my rubber looks fresh, and its completely dry. No sign of fluids ever leaking anywhere.
Very cool love when people donate and love watching the process ❤ I'd love to learn how to did this kind of stuff
Thanks 🙏 this was a lot of fun. Almost as fun as driving her:)
@@Joshuarayfarmer I bet! Love watching your videos here and on fb and watching you and your kids just explore and enjoy life its so sweet ❤
Phenominal build. I just picked up my E350 V-8 Extended today (2007) 158k miles. Looks pristine inside but I will do what you did and take everything out. Did you end up removing the a/c & heating from the rear? I would like to use your sources for the roof rack and ladder build. Where did you go to remove a/c & heater? I know you mentioned using a professional. Great job on your build. Taking your time really paid off. Nice use of wood and the boxes. Can't wait to get started! Thanks for sharing. P.S. do you have a website with pics of your finished build? I'd like to use a few of your ideas for my interior.
Ya, I was wondering what type of professional.. just a mechanic??
looks awesome bro, great build and dope video.
nice build. can you talk more about "beefing up" your suspension? what component you used? how you like it so far? and anything you want to change or wished you've done differently?
🖤 love this
This is by far the best looking interior I’ve seen. Looks clean man. I look forward to an in depth tour and update!
awesome build! I will follow your framing. What was the measurements for those foundation wood strips?
I dont like it! I facking love it!
Congrats on build and hope your channel grows...i have a E250 high top and doing mods and filming as i go..then will up load to youtube later...love the red hat 🍺😎
Qiuck question so you just put larger springs in front ...or did you do a lift kit for front and back?
Very nice! A lot of detail goes into a build, very interesting for someone who is not build savvy whatsoever. I can see how you would miss the rear a/c system, especially in CA. Super cool insight and looking forward to the upcoming tour video.
Thanks 🙏 I can’t wait to show off the final details
🧡💛💙💜
It makes me feel so much better, knowing that staring at it and figuring out where to start with framing is normal. Been driving me nuts, and I've seen so many vans with the wood going up and down, frame wise.. that just.. was NOT working with this particular van. So good to have a different outlook.
Ur mom
