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.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
