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.

Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years

Thu, 23 May 2013

Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
