My friend bought and made a motovan!! He surprised me with it this morning. I think it's a 1995 Dodge B250.

We loaded it up and hit the track.


Nice... My brothers buddy from MANY years ago had a Stretched out Dodge van where he was able to have a back seat (actually it was 2 lawn chairs... safety first I telll ya) and able to put 4 bikes in it... that's when bikes were a little smaller and lower... :prof:...... :thumb:
 
As for me and my truck.............. hoooked it up to the Ragen and drug it out to the REZ,,,,,,,,, first time since I replaced the water pump. Did great up until I had to pull the first long grade up the Cajon Pass where I couldn't find that "happy medium... sweet spot" of 3500 RPM's so I was running at 4000-4500 and started watching the temp go up past 1/2 which it never did before..... never got too high since I finally got up and over the pass... MIGHT have been the last time I drag that sumbish anyways.... selling it. Going to move into the MH side of the spectrum so I don't have to hassle with setting the load levelers, sway bar, stablelizer jacks, PLUS my trucks got 110000 on it and the work it has to do getting up that grade just might kill it! :faint: .... yes, I have gotten lazy in my old age... So what!!!! :P We're going to start out renting one when we go and if we find that isn't working we'll look into purchasing one. :thumb:

Awesome! Thing must have been long. His plans are to make a canopy and put the bikes outside and sleep inside the van. I cant wait to see what it turns into!
 
Looks good, but definitely not big enough for a 2 stall garage, unless its completely insulated

Its insulated but im still not sure if it will do the job. I will have a fan to pull the heat off of it aswell but my garage is like 30x24. It only cost me like 50 for all the materials and i have about 2 cords of wood i cut this summer just sitting in the woods so i figured id give it a shot

i agree with kyle, you will probably be able to get the garage up from about 20 to 45ish, not warm but not so cold your skin is splitting from hold your tools
 
New stereo to replace the broken stock one. Tore out the dash in the parking lot here at OSU haha :smirk:. Seat covers, 3" front level and 1" larger rear block.

Did you buy the keys for the front or just crank the torsion bars?

The last stretch of the Cajon Pass is a bitch. I get down to around 40mph pulling my Jeep and not much better with out pulling. Need a big ass diesel pusher to make that without pushing on it. Going over to a motor home now? Mine is older but we love it. Just make sure you get leveling jacks on it or you will not be happy. :thumb:
