MY FAVORITE POWER POINT INVERTER - goo.gl/oTwRqd

@bjorn336 6 лет назад

fun project, you can probably get a lot of inspiration from my channel regarding this build:)

@theoldwizard998 6 лет назад

Depends on what area of the country for fuel prices. Diesel sells for a premium around here.

@aydan_r1332 6 лет назад

Wranglerstar is it built ford tough?

@firefighter4607509 6 лет назад

Look into Lizard Skin to paint the interior walls. It will help with heat/cold and cut down on the road noises.

@theoldwizard998 6 лет назад

themarsvolta215 : Both of your statements are correct. The inital cost of a diesel engine is very high. Emission controls have really diesel fuel economy. Plus you need to buy "diesel engine fuel" (DEF - stored in a separate tank) at an additional cost. Most light/medium duty diesel engines have a much larger oil pan capacity, possibly twice as much as a gasoline engine. All of these make it hard to justify purchasing a diesel engine unless you are going to be putting a lot of miles on the vehicle or carrying/towing large loads.

@toolreview2101 6 лет назад

Coming from the UK I think All of you're British subscribers will agree with me on this, treat the underside of the van with some sort of rust preventer/sealant (the tar oilly paint looking stuff) or the thing will rust out within 5 years, the quality on transits has really bottomed out since they have been produced in turkey and they didn't exactly have a stellar reputation when they where made in the UK Ask any of you're European subs that live anywhere wet and they will agree

@EmpireSponge 6 лет назад

ToolReview Fire on the old wax oil or tetrashutz on the underside and yer laughing the stuff's great for keeping the tin worm at bay.

@kvandyke252 6 лет назад

Fluid film is the best

@Ryzomadman 6 лет назад

ToolReview 100% correct, I have seen Ford trannies with three year's medium duty work and mileage with some pretty awful looking corrosion requiring attention, I know van drivers hammer the vans, but if you intend to keep her better start off with a well-protected chassis now and have a vehicle that's still sound 10 years down the line.

@CrimeVid 6 лет назад

Yes, treat the chassis with whatever the best underseal is where you are. Not bad motors,all die of rust.

@steveyulenburg129 6 лет назад

ToolReview.. Rust is not a very big issue in the State Wranglerstar lives.

@bbrewe71 6 лет назад

Woohoo, next on Wranglerstar's Pimp my ride....

@macgyver1968 6 лет назад

@warmwxrules 6 лет назад

I've always wondered what those cars look like today ...half are probably in junkyards. I like this series of the van. I'm a van guy.

@thoskins202 6 лет назад

My family just bought our van, and we are so excited to do this. I saw your first video from years ago and I began dreaming, and I have been following you ever since. We are also Oregonians and just so excited to be adventure ready. My wife and I have a one year old, and a three year old, and we have so much life to live and are so grateful. We are headed to roseburg this weekend for our first trial run. Maybe we will see you in that neck of the woods. Thanks for all of your videos, I'm also a wood worker and I'm inspired by your channel.

@thijsvandevelde6056 6 лет назад

This is going to be so interesting!! alot of viewers are going to like it!!

@earlbigod 6 лет назад

WOW!!! This is the sort of thing I would like to do for my family. I will be following this project with vigour. 👍

@BusLifeNZ 6 лет назад

Awesome, look forward to following the conversion! I converted a bus and now live in it. We vlogged the build and now our lives living in it!

@ColonelK0rn1 6 лет назад

Good for you! I think I identified the most with the points you brought up about being able to just get in the van and go, and how important it is to "unplug" and recharge your batteries with the family. I'm excited to watch the progression of this project.

@OurJourneyToBliss 6 лет назад

My family and I love your channel! We've been watching for a couple years now, and this series on your adventure van (and the old van), we can't stop watching. We started our own journey to find happiness and success about a year ago, and after seeing these videos we are considering getting an adventure van to assist us on this path! Thank you for your videos, and for staying true to your faith and convictions! -OurJourneyToBliss

@AllenManor 6 лет назад

This is interesting -- the very first Wranglerstar video I ever watched was your first "Make your Own Sportsmobile" video several years ago. I was doing research on RVs and yours came up. I watched it and found your personality engaging and the video well-done. I never made my own Sportsmobile but I've watched a lot of Wranglerstar videos since. Been great watching your channel evolve. I especially think including your family took the channel in a new and richer direction. So glad to see how well you are doing. Now just hoping for a little Wranglerglow . . . ;-)

@wranglerstar 6 лет назад

Thank you. What a delightful comment.

@AllenManor 6 лет назад

Wranglerstar Wranglerglow has occurred! Have a nice evening.

@LucidAutowerks 6 лет назад

Same here, but you put it much more eloquently than I ever could have!

@zachwilhite5344 6 лет назад

These tutorials you do are always incredible. Some of the best content on youtube. Stay safe and thanks.

@YTviewer18428 6 лет назад

I am soooo excited to see how this turns out! This is one of those projects that's just so fun to tinker with and will without a doubt will serve as a fun learning experience for Jack as well. Best of luck to you guys. Will be tuning in for sure!

@ecleveland1 6 лет назад

Come on Cody you remember the 70's. A van is supposed to have shag carpet a waterbed and a disco ball !

@waterfowl1653 6 лет назад

Cody, the company that I used to work for has two of these vans, however one is the large dually and one is the same as yours. You might want to reconsider the rear seats, I have noticed that on trips they are not anywhere near comfortable. They are small and cheaply made. I would consider getting either two captains chairs from the front or older captains chairs from a van in the 1995-2005 era. Have a wonderful day and that's for the great videos! Long time subscriber, Steven Berger

@sonnicman 6 лет назад

Steve, I totally agree. I think he'd be much better off ripping out the two existing seats and buying four suspension seats.

@waterfowl1653 6 лет назад

Sonnicman what a great idea! If I was in Cody's position I would do the same! Thanks for the reply. Have a wonderful day, Steven Berger, Haydel's Restoration

@davidiliyn 6 лет назад

Water Fowl yup I have done several Oregon to LA trips in this rig. Seats in back are bad!

@ckm-mkc 6 лет назад

Suspension seats are the way to go in these full size vans - I've been driving ~300 miles a weekend for the last few months in Transits, Promasters, Sprinters and NVs. While the suspension is not bad (other than the NV), suspension seats remove any, er, hard spots....

@radred609 6 лет назад

Put the front seats in the back for the kids and get some captain's chairs for the front x'D

@bryanowen2881 6 лет назад

Ford is the only American car company that managed there financials properly and didn't have to take a government bail out! Say what you want but thats a win in my book! Good for you Cody and family, really looking forward to following this series!

@thecommentor8384 6 лет назад

Really looking forward to this project coming together. I too felt my familys direction drifting more towards the technological comforts and luxuries. Did the same thing mate we spent a bunch of money on camping gear and got back to nature. Seeing the boys being boys in the great outdoors was worth every single cent.

@IslandZsurvivor 6 лет назад

ladder and a roof rack maybe?..should waited till after the 11+ min mark to comment..congrats on the new project!

@Roboticexile 6 лет назад

For your dining table, may I suggest an idea that is commonly used on canal boats. On many boats you'll find a pair of sockets in the floor that can accommodate a chrome plated pole approximately 3"(75mm) in diameter. The sockets fit more or less flush with the flooring, so they can be walked over when the table is not in use. The table top has two surface mounted sockets in the underside, and the support poles can be stored separately. This way your table can be slipped away into a smaller space, and you won't have to worry about a table becoming a hazard in the event of a crash. I hope this is of some help. I'd be happy to source images and examples if you'd like further information.

@ogaje4944 6 лет назад

Rob Locke great Suggestion

@trongod2000 6 лет назад

My experience with these tables is that the table stows away as the centerpiece of a bed somewhere. In boats it's often part of the bow V bed. That makes two bench beds into one big bed for two. Another tip on the post. It makes a great place to store those plastic shopping bags we all get at the grocery. Just keep stuffing them in and they come out the other end. At any given time there will be many dozen in there for whatever trash you need to haul out after dinner.

@thmpick 6 лет назад

Rob Locke...Too bad Cody already thought of this too.

@bigjon1961 6 лет назад

That is so awesome!!! Good for you and thanks for sharing!!!! I could care less about Ford, Chevy, Dodge, any of that, the focus on family sharing and caring and building on that is the big picture!!! You go!!! Build those irreplaceable memory's within your family

@tenshi1160 6 лет назад

I agree that most people probably spend too much time on the internet, but I think we have to realize that in essence it doesnt matter if you're fishing and having fun or doing stuff on the internet and having fun. To each their own. Too much of one thing is never good. Really excited how the van turns out!

@robertrapp1595 6 лет назад

You can mount a nice pull out tray under your bed That pulls out the back of the double doors for a tremendous amount of storage. Good luck with this project you have some really good ideas. For years I road backwards on; the engine i worked on. Jack would probably like to look forward, ( Just A Thought),

@wranglerstar 6 лет назад

great idea

@kyle6364 6 лет назад

I've seen a big drawer like that before on someone's conversion van video. Definitely a cool idea.

@Dam262a 6 лет назад

My job which transports people to the airport all day, we have the xlt ford transit, it's a pos. The back rolling door always has a issue, we've also had our transmission gone out, Btw it's a 2015. BUT maybe ours is defected, no wait we have two, same issues, thought only one has had a transmission problem. All I can say is good luck!

@nicholashollow9410 6 лет назад

It's a Ford it's suppose to do that.

@kyle6364 6 лет назад

+Sirfap72 I was riding in an airport transport van (Econoline), and the side window blew out going 80 mph on the interstate. Have you ever had an interesting incident like that? It was pretty funny.

@haywoodwildlife 6 лет назад

Should have went with the Nissan or the ram

@ckm-mkc 6 лет назад

The Ram - I've driven all of them a lot and the Nissan is the one I never want to see again.

@RobbyMaddox 6 лет назад

Kyle - I was driving in Baton Rouge heading to the airport to drop off the rental car I was driving and catch my flight home. Traffic was slow and I was probably only going 10 MPH when I passed a work crew that was weed whacking the right of way when suddenly the rear window just shattered. I almost thought I was going to have a heart attack it startled me so much. A rock must have gotten launched at the window to cause that. Thankfully the work crew was nice and the supervisor was able to give me some info to pass on to the rental company so that they could get it fixed without charging me for it. :)

@ozarkbound 6 лет назад

This is so exciting! I'm looking forward to the build and congrats on the new van. We are converting a school bus a few hours north of you. Had it a little over a year, got it all painted last month, inside is about 75% done.

@morrow.m 6 лет назад

@billsbullets 6 лет назад

Might I suggest a great set of heavy duty brakes for all that weight?

@jarroddraper5140 6 лет назад

BDurant it is the 3/4 ton set up so it should already have the heavy duty stuff

@billsbullets 6 лет назад

Jarrod Draper I didn't know they came with upgraded brakes.. thanks

@nicholashollow9410 6 лет назад

It isn't gonna weigh 12000 pounds like he said any way maybe 2,500.

@Norweeg 6 лет назад

BDurant It's a cargo van. It's already built to have a bunch of weight in it.

@StephenButlerOne 6 лет назад

It's a van, it's design to carry a few tons. Van breaks are quite clever they have a weight regulator, so to the driver the breaking feal and distances don't change (much), when full or empty.

@roncryderman 6 лет назад

Great project and I look forward to seeing your progress. I built my son a tear-drop trailer a few years ago and really enjoyed doing the layout on paper, then to wood, to finished mini camper.

@paulking6404 6 лет назад

Love it Brother! I CAN'T wait to watch this come together.. I think I've told you before, my girlfriend and I LOVE your life style. We've been planning on buying some property either up your way or Idaho so watching your video's has and is teaching me ALOT! God Bless us ALL and Keep US safe.. Peace

@davewasea 6 лет назад

Great vans but they get stuck everywhere you may need the 4wd at some point in the future.

@wranglerstar 6 лет назад

Both of our old Ford vans were 2 wheel drive and worked well

@tuckerp.6996 6 лет назад

Yeah I gotta agree my dad raised me to never even look at a vehicle without 4x4 but I was raised in the south where dirt roads and muddy farms are everywhere not to be bragging but that's just how it is growing up as a country boy in the south

@bmcunning 6 лет назад

the do make a really nice 4x4 conversion for these, I've worked on a few at my dealership. I think the brand is Quigley or something

@chrisjones6002 6 лет назад

With good tires, limited slip and a little driving skill it will be just fine. 4wd is great but most people put too much emphasis in it, 95% of people that have it don't really need it. I doubt he'll be doing any actual off roading with it, just some gravel and maybe dirt roads.

@davewasea 6 лет назад

Ford Transits in the UK are known to just get stuck on everything even wet grass and even more terrible in the snow I know this from experience, I love fords and cant wait to see more videos from you on the progress. keep up the great work! (long time subscriber) :)

@geedubb2005 6 лет назад

Cody, greetings from NM. I'm happy for you guys! That's why we work so hard. Best wishes!

@blake6426 6 лет назад

I 100% agree with your thoughts on having something to keep all your gear in. After making a list of everything I need to pack for a short trip to the lake it sometimes seems more like work and less like a relaxing trip. Looking forward to the build.

@truck93 6 лет назад

I'm looking forward to seeing this build. I have rebuilt a few camping trailers throughout the years. This year we bought a nice Jayco 23K camping trailer that works perfectly for our family. I love having the trailer stocked up and ready to go. Just hook-up to the truck and take off.

@Alan.livingston 6 лет назад

@ethanross5919 6 лет назад

You could have just bought a motorhome and then restored that for less that 4 thousand. I bought a motor home in actually great shape for 500 once. I sold it.

@christianadventure 6 лет назад

Sounds like a cool project for your family! I used to drive a Sprinter for FedEx up in the Sierra Nevada mountains and you are right that the wind, surprisingly, doesn't affect it much. You will probably want to get 4WD as they are not very good in snow, mud or slippery conditions... I got stuck a number of times. The traction control, at that time, was terrible. All it would do is lose power which would cause a loss in momentum and then you get stuck. I did love driving it in normal conditions, as you mentioned, it is very comfortable to drive and did not feel like a big truck.

@ryanryals6428 6 лет назад

So excited to see this build!!! I love the way you explain things and your carpentry is impressive work.

@kyle6364 6 лет назад

For your left passenger window, consider the one that has an opening part to it so that you get the ventilation you want.

@wranglerstar 6 лет назад

@oops8685 6 лет назад

Ford have stepped up their game in the mechanical area (engine, trans, etc etc.) however making an HD truck body/bed out of flimsy aluminum is a big mistake. On top of that, imo the newer 2015-2017 ford trucks/vans have very luxurious interiors. I think, overall, for Cody's mission this is a perfect vehicle.

@goldwolf9995 6 лет назад

Ford does not make a cargo van in the US either. The Transit used to made in England and now made by a Turkish auto maker.

@stevewilliams7852 6 лет назад

I agree with what you say about the feeling of being able to hit the road in twenty minutes. Nothing like it. We would take trips in my 63 VW camper bus to fish or camp. If I broke down we could set up wherever that was, fix the problem and be on our way. Sure I had to downshift to third gear when going up a hill but when the VW going the other way would flash their lights and you would flash back you knew part of something bigger. I look forward to your conversion videos.

Cody, Whenever people trash on fords, I always remember the story you told years ago about your (Father's Friend? Grandfather? Maybe you can clarify the details) about how when you go to the scrap yard, you get the ford axles, because the Chevy axles were just way worse quality. I drove my eleven year old ford focus as a delivery vehicle for a year an a half and put 13,000 miles (In a 7 mile delivery area) on that little thing, and after getting rear ended AND t-boned, the only thing that actually broke was my driver side blinker. Sure the parking break sticks a bit, but there is just something about fords that feels right in the American hand. Steering Wheel is great, seats are great, and it's cheap. Love Ford.

Nice choice, I picked the Ford Transit 15 passenger, it is the tallest and longest transit available. We wanted all the windows of a passenger van, like your dads van I'm working on my van conversion also, can't wait to see your progress. Safe travels

I think the van will be good for you and your family. I look forward to seeing the install on line. I could use the information in my own projects.

We bought the 2016 Transit Wagon 350, Its the high roof 15 passenger with Dually rear and the Diesel engine for our church and it is a fantastic van, I'm not a Ford guy and I was involved in replacing an aging church van and this Transit by far was the best option we have taken it all over the southeast for youth trips, my only complaint is the rear AC is a bit lacking for all the open space in there. The ride is incredible I can totally relate with you on that, the diesel engine has plenty of power and driving down the highway you don't realize how big it is because the handling and suspension is so good

I'm looking forward to following this series. Please keep a ledger sheet so we can know what we might expect to spend to build whatever van we have.

This is going to be a really interesting project to see develop. I like the idea that a builder, not an automotive engineer is going to tackle this. A fresh eye and approach to this could bring some really cool ideas! Kudos, Sir...I'll be watching intently!
