ESSENTIAL VAN BUILD UPGRADES | ROGUE ALLOY WHEELS & PEUGEOT BOXER WINDOW PODS

In this week's video we make some essential van build upgrades starting with changing the the cladding on the rear doors to some super easy to make window pods for our blinds.
We also change our pretty bald tyres and upgrade our steel wheels to some Rogue Alloy CC1 wheels.

Cracking job on the rear window pods and the alloys look banging. Raptor if your going for the rugged look 👍🏻

[@our.van.adventures]

Cheers mate, yeah definitely going to get some raptor on there 👍

Im assuming you have the heavy rated chassis on your van, which is why you have 16 inch steel rims. If the steel rims are the 130 PCD they have some resale value because people want one for a spare tyre. I've got an ex ambulance L4H3 because I'm tall. That comes with the larger 130 PCD alloys and no spare wheel. Luckily I managed to get a heavily scratched alloy wheel for the spare but they are rare as hens teeth in 130 PCD. It still wasn't cheap. The standard are 118 PCD. If they are the 130 PCD, list your old steel wheels on ebay for about £60 each (pick up only) and leave the old tyres on. If your rear tyres have more tread add an extra £10 on each of those.

Thanks, yes ours is a L4 “heavy” we did see the 16 inch wheels are more rare. We will hold onto them for the time being as a spare set as you never know 👍

How tall are you Tom? Asking to see if the bed fit you, width wise.

[@our.van.adventures]

I am 6’2 and can fit with a bit of room spare 😃

Love the wheels guys , exactly the ones I'm getting on my boxer . 16 inch from 15inch as I have the L3 H2. What was the exact tyre specs guys? They make the van look rugged and aggressive. Thinking of doing my bonnet matt black plastidip and plastidip the side trims as well as it can peel off if you change your mind. Maybe a n dimetic door led rain gutter in black

[@our.van.adventures]

Thanks Lee our tyres are 225 75 16, Matt black bonnet sounds good. The only thing plastidip doesn’t last too long.

[@luap1983]

How do you find the tyres on the road?

[@our.van.adventures]

To be honest really good, they don’t add a lot of noise and we have only lost 2 mpg.
