Dirtyhip Posted August 19, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2022 The dream van was ordered. We received and email but we need to fix the wheels. Then, re-order. Wrong color wheels. I am hearing from a pal that vans get pushed out further and further. Tick tock. YOLO! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted August 19, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2022 How bad is the wheel goof? I would siriusly consider leaving the order in the pipeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted August 19, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2022 I voted four months. Not so long to wait but the delay will cause a different inconvenience as the weather for the modification work will not be good. Murphy was an Irishman. Best of luck though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted August 19, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 19, 2022 Friends of mine ordered a Ford Transit. It took many, many months longer than originally expected. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted August 19, 2022 Share #7 Posted August 19, 2022 I voted 6 months. Someone I know ordered a new car and it was about 3 months, so I doubled that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is this gas heated style that the Sprinters use. 44 minutes ago, Philander Seabury said: How bad is the wheel goof? I would siriusly consider leaving the order in the pipeline. Wrong color. It was some specifics and packages. Price haggling. Which we didn't have a ton of leverage on. It isn't like we want any other model. MB, Ford, and Dodge. Ford is pretty solid. Will my GM trucker hat need replacement? I won't even own one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're calling it a Sprinter - so is it an MB? I thought I heard you decided a Ram ProMaster? What sort of build - like a "van" or a passenger van? Going with a 3500 high roof 159" one? Is there a 4x4 option or you're keeping it "reasonable"? or with windows? Probably not, as they would interfere with the optimal inside layout? But no windows seems tough too, but maybe you can "add" them in the build? Or the Sprinter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no shop here and it is imported, parts are tough. The Dodge has poor reviews. That left the Ford Transit high top, 148",AWB. We ave entered into the level of unreasonable. HE! We are thrilled. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted August 19, 2022 Share #13 Posted August 19, 2022 How can we help decorate the van? Are you going to dedicate it yacht style when it is done, by smashing a bottle of champagne on it when complete? Most importantly, will there be a sign that says "Don't come a-knockin' if the van is a-rockin'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the tech stuff, solar, etc. very cool project DH. you always have a driveway you can pull into here in Indiana.

Parr8hed Posted August 20, 2022 Share #25 Posted August 20, 2022 Oh, and not to try and be a Debbie downer, but if ford vans are anything like the diesel trucks I’m guessing 6-9 months. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. I know. It's a concern. We are listing the truck today. I think it will move fast. I won't even own any Chevy products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
