Yokes love to snap coils, watch out

Bad video...the lighting, low lighting would be good at the end of the build, as in photos....! JS

Nice build. Thanks. That's the shock I have on my evo. Love it. But why would you ditch the genie? Couple years from now they'll probably be on the market. Gonna try one on my Evo. I'll let you know what your missing out on. 😂. Probably nothing. Cause that rockshox is that good 👍

Dude what was that thread tape stuff you were using on the BB?

Made in taiwan are better. This will snap

Immediately omitting their Fox Genie shock then! Interesting. I thought that was the whole point of this new frame?

James Robert Well done video

Awesome build! This is essentially how I would build it, considering getting a framset as well. I wonder how the coil works since the linkage is not very progressive. It doesnt blow through the travel? Would probably put a super deluxe ultimate, or vivid on mine if I were to build one.

This video has me looking at my old S-Works Enduro dating 07 and appreciating how crazy well engineered S-Works frames are, back then AND now.

How much travel on the rear end of this one?

Glad my Epic can take cables. XT and XTR dont need batteries. Stupid.

Great build video!

Only need a 4.30 gear for 35" tires on an E250. Just did the calculations myself for mine.

Did Specialized extended the seat post insertion depth so we can actually use a 200mm dropper in the S3 frame? that's the only thing I dislike about my Stumpjumper Evo, I can't fit a longer dropper to get the saddle out of the way little more.

What brand air compressor head is that?

There should be like a gazillion likes already! Fantastic work!

What size were the tires before and is that stock height

Where are u finding good vans in so cal for 2 to 5k i paided 6300 for a 2003 e150 with 155k miles i thought that was good?

Thank you so much for posting this. Been wanting a decked for years. Swapped my 2010 ranger for a 2001 access cab. I watched this video like ten times until I finally ordered one. Installed it last night. I love it and found this super helpful!

The holy grail of videos! 🙏🏼 also have an 06 AC this is sick. There goes $1500 😬. Whats on the inside of your tailgate??

Beautiful, You had my heart caughtup in hear ❤ I think you showed me my future bike , great work man ,thanks

What kind of van is this??? What did it cost? What was the Mileage? I ❤ THE LIFT!!!! I'm looking for a van now. 😊

Why are they re-gearing?

Considering you came from a tacoma, you already have exceptionally low standards.

I know you said you’re running 35’s but whats your wheel size, width and offset? Super curious because it looks so sick. Thanks for the vid, badass build man.

Weigth??

Love your video. Chill. Does the Chisel have the same geometry specs of other entry level UCI XCO bikes, (hardtail) as say the Canyon Esteem CF or Spec. Epic? I want to buy an entry level UCI XCO type MTB. No eBikes for me.

Where'd this end up going? You end up selling it for some reason? Really love the setup!

Weekday rider that has 4 trails pinned in the area.

Thanks for your time and willingness to record this very informative video. I own a 2003 Tundra access cab with a 76.25" bed. and I'm almost ready to order. Do you know the exact length of your Decked drawer system? I have searched everywhere for the XT4 but can't find that number

Like the utilitarian aspect, very versatile.

Rip to another good van for work 😢. These van dorks making it real hard for the normie contractor to find a cheap reliable van these days..

Woooooo

What brand is the swivel spare tire mount???

Thank you. I just installed the XT4 on my 2003 Tundra. Your video helped me have to confidence to tackle the project. I just finished and it seems like its going to work great. I ended up removing all four the factory tie downs for it to fit, but the kit only comes with two replacements. I looked but did not find DECKED tie downs on their website. Does anyone know where I can get a pair of them?

I dig it! just bought same van complete with 4.6. Hope to make it just like yours one of these days

wowww!!!! nice job

Aus-rotten sick

The production of this video is 👌 - esp. with the relaxed background music, makes me wholesome zen 🙏

I did the same thing with my 2012 Ford E-350, 12-passenger shuttle bus. Added the six inch Weldtech lift. I'm converting it into an RV but I wanted the clearance for the gray water tank and the frame mounted rear AC compressor/condenser. I added some Falken off road tires including the dually wheels. It looks really wicked. The bus manufacturer is Turtle Top so the shuttle lines are very curved and smooth. With custom welded off road bumpers and my custom spare mount on the rear bumper and a cool looking desert tan and black paint job and all chrome removed it just looks the part. It's now known as the apocalypse vehicle by the shop I took it to get my drive line balanced. Overall, it's a great lift kit. I did go with the Eaton 8000 lb rear springs in order to carry the weight of 75 gallons of fresh water, 400 lbs of lithium phospate batteries and another 150 lbs of fuel with the 55 gallon fuel tank I just got for it.

Love this van! Thank you for the info my friend!!

How is the bike with the 120 travel? Any issues ? Looking at replacing the original fork. Trying to decide if I could bump up to 120 right now !

Love the simplicity

Nice van. Don't go on a soft beach though. My 2wd van with 6.0 diesel on 37s needed no lift. Just needed a bit of a trim job. It tracks true on the interstate also. I liked the no lift option. Just big tires.

E250's Do NOT wander. I do. 😂 '79 E250 Pathfinder Quadravan.

Agree with keeping things simple. i have the same van and haven't changed the interior other than adding a floor and a bed. I love the uncovered van walls because i use magnet mounts for everything. People always ask me if I'm going to build it out and I say "no, why would I?" I only sleep and drive in there. The rest of the time I'm outside enjoying nature.

Awesome can build. Thanks for all the suggestions and links. Do you have any idea what it weights (Curb Weight) after the hi-top installed? Thanks 🙏

WOW whatta guy w/great info. I sooo need to find a cheap Econoline in my area. So far not. TYVM

You might consider doing the “chalk test” to dial in the air pressure you want for YOUR RIG, your weight, your particular load out which can change so much depending on the adventure you’re on and the gear/equipment and different amount of people you can load in these vans. Once you get the hang of how to do it, super easy to do one and set the air pressure you want at the beginning of these long road trips.

I Just Subed To Your Channel!!! Building My Own Van!!! F-250 Any Input On A Good Lift Kit???
