FROADER's '04 E-350

[DB_1]

That blows Colin, are those power or manual mirrors? I heard JB weld in the door locks really sucks but that's just what ive heard:

Your van must have been sitting for quite awhile for a wasp nest to develop.

 

[FROADER]

Yeah, it does blow. They are power mirrors. I did some pricing today after work and I can either get:

New glass
Ford - $105
Other - $86

New complete mirror assembly:
Ford - $190
Other - $170

Used complete assembly:
Other - $107

 

[Stic-o]

are they the same as the Super Duty Mirrors? Maybe you can upgrade to ones with the turning indicator, or the new telescopeing ones

 

[FROADER]

Fixed for $120 - http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2025711#post2025711

So you have called another to the van side....even tho this is the gas burner version you have sold me on a van. Very well done sir. I borrowed this one from another Church for the Church I go to so we could use it in conjunction with our two buses. It rocked. So I took a pic for Colin

 

[FROADER]

Nice Burns.

Is this van and trailer going to be prepared to bring home it's new running gear this weekend? You better eat your wheaties, I've only moved these 3 times in 4 months due to how heavy it is.

1.Back both trailers up end to end.
2. Drop Colins trailer.
3. nose explorer to trailer hitch
4. drag axles from one trailer to other with winch
5.

Your van still uses these! I just this on Ford website and didn't know, I just thought it had a arms by now.

on the plus side the '09 with the brake controler built in look sweet inside...Can I get one of these in a C class motor home please!

IZWack's U-Haul probably had those too

All of the Econolines I've ran across all have TTB .. SLA's are a GM van thing I think

 

[FROADER]

37s mounted and balanced.

 

[RockRanger]

How did you pull the axles off the trailer?

 

[FROADER]

They are still on there. We were going to put the wheels and tires on the axles then just bounce them off, but we had no time tonight. Then, the guy I borrowed the trailer from needed to use it tonight, so... they are going to his shop until I need them. Randomness tonight since I got off work trying to deal with this crap.

 

[mounty71]

Not mounted on a car, they look like 31s on 15s, haha. Anyway, when's the axle swap going down?

 

[FROADER]

Matt, I was thinking the same thing. I should have put something next to them for a comparison.

Swap will happen when Winter has time to help.

 

[FROADER]

OK, next to a 31" tire.

 

[Dannyboy]

no black paint? Is that a future mod?

oh yeah, I just double checked, you stiffed me ten bucks on the wheels, I'm sure you'll make up for it on my spa gift certificate LOL.

 

[FROADER]

****, I thought I gave you $10 too much? I'm sorry, Dan, I'll get you some more.

 

[FROADER]

Finally got the axles to the backyard.
I'll be wrapping and covering them to keep the weather off of them until I'm ready to swap them.
