VAN LIFE: How to do a 4X4 conversion in 10 EASY STEPS in just 4 Days!

Van Life: How to do a 4×4 conversion in just 10 simple steps!
In this episode, we show you how to convert a regular 2WD van into a lifted 4WD Overlanding BEAST! The majority of the parts came from an F350 pickup truck and the rest from Ujoint Offroad. We live in the van full time so we did this conversion in just 4 days while sleeping in the van on the lift overnight inside of the shop.
Here’s the specs: 2006 Ford E350, 6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel engine, Dana 60 axles w/ 4:10 Gears, 5R110 Auto Transmission, NV271 T-Case, and 20” Rims with 35” Toyo All-Terrain tires.

HUGE THANKS 🙏🏼 to Ian and Kevin at Coastal Auto Repair in PB for providing the shop/lift and making this conversion possible!

  9. Aj on February 25, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    Sweet van, wish I could drop that kind of money. My van is just a money pit, barely goes down the road straight.

  10. Martin Rowley on February 25, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    Damn that was awesome

    Amazing

  14. Baja Dan on February 25, 2022 at 11:45 pm

    That took some serious work .

  15. Labor Tank on February 25, 2022 at 11:45 pm

    As any real man knows the very first step in any build a house a car heck rebuilding a transmission the very first step is get rid of all skankage. Once the nasty skank is rid of things go so much smoother. mgtow power baby! And remember if you’re completely cucked and you just have to have a place to drop your load will remember you can always do that with a professional and they’re much cleaner anyway think about it were you required to wear protection the first time you loaded the one you’re with? You know you didn’t all you men out there you know you didn’t believe me you were not her first load but when you go to a true pro what’s the first thing they make you do? That’s right you have to protect yourself so the load isn’t inadvertently transferred somewhere it’s not supposed to be. Think about it cleaner more enjoyable less nagging and freedom.
    Blessed anyone think I’m being vulgar I am not I just have my own terms:
    Skankage=Gasoline tanks
    Load=Cargo
    Nasty=Dirty, in need of cleaning or replacement.
    Skank=SKID plate and GAS tank combo

  16. Randy Beltrame on February 25, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    I am totally impressed with Gypsy tribe. I thought you bought the van pre-existing with the four-wheel drive I did not know you put it on yourself. Way cool great job

  17. George Haracopos on February 25, 2022 at 11:49 pm

    great music for your video

  24. Overland Generation on February 25, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    Why drill? why not just weld on the front leaf spring brackets?

  25. chris bennett on February 25, 2022 at 11:56 pm

    Got an ’04 with a 5.4L I want to convert. I have many questions. Where can I get the front spring mounts for the front springs? Where do I get a template for knowing where to cut and weld in the rear of the front springs?

  26. None misfit on February 25, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    can this be done to a Mitsubishi fuso or Isuzu NPR (cabover box trucks)???? if so, where can I get more info? or a general cost to have it done.

  27. the Grubby Pirate on February 25, 2022 at 11:59 pm

  41. Mike Baiamonte on February 26, 2022 at 12:17 am

    That was really great, I love your video, and would love to convert my 2500 chevy van ,but no company will sell me the kit, where do I get the parts I need ?? As a certified mechanic, I am more than capable of doing the work myself.

  42. Philip & Lidia on February 26, 2022 at 12:18 am

    Hello everyone!!! Make sure to leave us any questions you have about the conversion here in the comments! And if you would like to see more build and how to videos please let us know what part you’d like to see next! Thanks for watching!
