Hi all,finally found a 03 24 ft class c motorhome with the 7.3 powerstroke diesel,i am going to use it for travelling and I hope it will have enough power to tow my 84 bj42 landcruiser around.Atibiti on this forum was so nice to go check it out for me last week,so I am flying to Vancouver mar 31st, to drive it home to wnnipeg.

I have been towing my rockrawler with my 97 E350 diesel in the last 10 years,tuned with freeflow exhaust and runs on veg oil,love it,but is getti ng rusty,and no shower n washroom when camping at remote areas.

Hi chris,
can you suggest how to do the 4wd conversion?i am already looking for front axle and transfercase.
4",6"?
blocks,add a leaves at the back or new springs??

You have several options. The benefit of a 6" is the tighter turning radius, wheel travel and the fact that we can run a trac bar which is important for a rig this size. On the 4" we can't run a longer pitman arm and its just too tight for a trac bar. If you 6" we'll have a complete new spring made, 4" kits will use a combo of block & add a leaf. We have everything you'll need besides driveshafts and tranny mods, shoot me an email if you want some prices or more details!

We have a 2014 Class C being dropped off this weekend so keep posted for updates...

Chris,

You are the equivalent to a van owner's crack dealer, and I mean that in a good way! :wings:

Talk about a guy that's revolutionizing the full-size van niche...Ford out to keep the E-Series around for another 50 years thanks to you!

So I flew to Vancouver , help abitibi with his veg conversion on his ambo n drive the motorhome the 2400 km back to Winnipeg with no problem.

Ha ha, yes! I'll take that title as long as I can't be arrested for it! We still have plenty of E series vans to play with.

Very nice C class. Any idea of mpg going from Vancouver to Winnipeg?

Very very nice! That's a gonna be a big beast!

And I have diesel jealousy... My v10 has power but sucks down gas.

Were you down in Moab a couple weeks ago, while I was there coming out of strike ravine I saw a couple land cruisers from Manitoba.

 

[Abitibi]

Hey Simon, already started on the shopping list?

How big are you building your veggie tank? Are you mounting it behind or in front of the axle? Alu?

Post some pics once you get going!

Cheers!
Mr. D

I wasn't in Moab this year, I was there last October with 3 others, my bj42,2 other bj42 and rob ruthledge twisted custom built fj45 custom 500 Hp buggy.
What kind of land cruisers were the two?
