Let me first start with, I built this van to keep and camp in for years. I finally realized that my wife was right and that it is too small for a family of five to camp in. I am the second owner. It was bought new from Sportsmobile and spent its life in Florida stored in a garage (no rust). When I bought the van three months ago it was a two wheel drive. I had the conversion done in Salt Lake City at Advanced 4x4 (they have done over 10,000 conversions). I have driven the Quigley coil spring conversions as well as the Advanced Conversions and feel that the Advanced handles much better. Everything used in the conversion is new. It has a Dana 60 front axle with disc brakes and Warn locking hubs. The transfer case is the same one Ford motor co. uses in the Ford 550. So all of the running gear is new and has less than 200 miles on it. I also have a good friend who is a diesel mechanic go through the entire motor. When I originally started looking for a sports mobile my main requirement was the legendary 7.3 diesel. My mechanic did compression test on the motor and even ran it on a Dyno before and after the work. The engine has been modified for mileage and reliability only. It has a four inch down pipe with titanium heat wrap going into a five inch stainless steel exhaust. The spool in the turbo has been replaced with a Wicked Wheel and the computer has a five stage chip. All hoses on the entire motor have been replace as well as the turbo pipes. The motor has all new Ford motor co. glow plugs and injectors. I also installed a new fuel pump and fuel tank. I have also installed a pillar gauge set (trans temp, exhaust temp and turbo boost). The stereo has been upgraded to a Pioneer that will sync to your Bluetooth, it will also play DVD’s and has a backup camera. The rims are American Racing Mojave 18inch with 33inch tires. All five have less than 200 miles on them. The bumpers front and rear are from aluminess.com and they are not cheap. The exterior of the van has a few scratches and a small dent in front of the rear bumper on the driver side. The house batteries need replacing, they work but do not hold a charge long. All the canvas on the pop top (manual, not power) is in great shape. It has seat belts for eleven. The two bench seats in the rear fold into a bed and the penthouse has a bed as well. The van will sleep four comfortably. Three captains seats with belts. The interior is in good shape overall. It has hot water tank and an outdoor shower head behind the rear door. It is also equipped with a city water and power hookup. Any questions feel free to send an email. I can also send more pictures if needed.

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
