We didn't stop there we added a rad E-Series Baja Pre-Runner Bumper as well! This Class B Chinook is ready for adventure!

I have a 2001 chinook that I will be bringing down for a lift as soon as I scrape up a little more money! This looks to me like a great system! Thanks for the video’s!😎
DO IT!
We love this Chinook! The suspension, lift and bumper took it to the next level! Thanks a lot Alyssa, Jeremy and the whole team at WeldTec!
That lift is perfect with that bumper. I love the old Chinooks.
Awesome build!! I love those Chinooks! They are so cool and even better lifted!!
I really really need to buy a vehicle for you guys to upgrade. You do a really good job
Double awesome work J !!
So awesome. I want to see how it is offroad.
I want a hoodie! Haha. Also a Baja GGK for my 2000 Chinook 7.3L diesel!! Mine looks exactly like the rig in this video!
You guys do great work!
I had a truck camper with 4x4. Things get tossed about unless you go slower. This set up is good for the desert, on a dirt road. Forest roads are narrow because of trees and hill sides. I think you spend a lot of money, loose driving comfort and MPG. As far as hitting brush sure but rocks, that is just stupid unless you want a leaking oil pan. It's still an RV just lifted five inches and now can't take turns as well. Think about it. Sure it looks cool if that is what you need.
I dig it. Planning on having you do the lift and suspension etc work on my E350 van.
Awesome work J !
These lifted RV's are awesome. You have got me thinking about building a Chevy Express "adventure" van - or finding and lifting a Road Trek 190. I have a Duramax Colorado that is nearly set up for camping, but the cool factor of an off road van is almost too much to resist!! (Not too mention really nice when it's too cold to sleep in a roof top tent.)
We have a Chinook and this looks awesome!
That lift is awesome. Would love to do that to mine.
These guys did my 94 Chinook. Amazing!!
I like that , I have a lift on our class C and it is awesome the steering and ride are what my wife says , 100% better
I would like a front bumper guard and a different rear bumper getting rid of that steel tube that doesn’t hold the poop hose
What lift did you get, and what size is your class c?
@@paulchristiansen9633
Let me first say this these you tube videos influenced us to get it done .
We used another place that did a great job and sell the kits too .
We have a Winnebago 22M
5” lift and new Goodyear all terrain tires
Love it
Making it cool
Nice Tech from Weldtec
Beautiful work 💪🏻
Oh man love that ,gotta get me one ,super cool !
I really dig these Chinook's. They check a lot boxes for this size camper. I'm on the fence between a Chinook vs a lifted and converted van "Baja grocery getter". The camping comfort you get in a Chinook is far above a van conversion, especially for the price, but a converted van will get you into the Backcountry albeit slowly. I'd really like to see what this lifted Chinook could do off road. Re-route the generator exhaust and modify the rear step to get more departure angle. I've seen lots of these Chinook's lifted but no road test videos in the dirt. Someone with a lift, please show what it can do! 🙏
Nice work...
I'm going to have your Grocery Getter installed sometime in the next three months. 👍
Another great build. Love the style of the Chinook.
Locks nice 🤤👌🏻 I think shudd have a lift kit on my powerstroke 2wd 🥴
Awesome kit, cpp👍🏼
Massive work u guys do ! Blessings
The best lift kit, cpp
50 comments for a hoodie give away! But how many for a class C lift kit ??? :)
Looking at a chinook right now look forward to contacting you guys for a lift after I buy one
I love your videos and the vans. Can we get more on the transit? I would love to have a van built by your company.
Thank you! Yes, check out our Transit Tuesday series and stay tuned for more content!
I need this for my e350 diesel shuttle bus build
Love this. Anyone have something like this done to their Chinook and need to modify-or replace with a new system-the rear steps to deal with the increase in height?
thats a sweet lift!!! can you guys do that to a 1976 ford p-400 gruman olson step van?
Wow that’s cool
Awesome… I need this for my rig with a winch on the front! I wonder how much this would cost me for my’94 Chinook Premier
Oh, pick me please
zoom out your camera. I want to see the overall look of every van that you modified.
Have you ever seen one in the dunes?
I’m confused. Watching these videos on the grocery getter lift for class c rvs, sometimes referred to as a six inch lift and sometimes referred to as a five inch lift, like in this video. And then there is the four inch lift. Are there three versions?
Reused the u bolt's in the rear???
Would be nice if it was four wheel drive
Why? So it can have a rougher ride and be able to drive it through a dirt field?
I liked it better stock. Better longterm drivetrain reliability and long distance highway manners.
Sure, that’s great if you want to stay on the highway. The best parts of this country are off the beaten path.
@@raydewitt517 yes have fun taking something that big out on the trail. More like a dirt field which the stock suspension is just fine for.
Completely false. How are you affecting drivetrain reliability? The driveshaft may be at a slightly greater angle. My 5” Weldtec makes the shaft come out of the trans about 1/4” longer than stock. No big deal. Ball joint angles are stock. You have steeper angles on the drag link but it is not binding. Know why? I have 5” of droop so there is no binding. Also, You cannot align these vehicles at stock height to factory specs, ie they all have low caster. The Weldtec system allows better alignment numbers for better highway manners, like 7* caster that you cannot come close to on a stock setup. Many other reasons from shock valving to spring rate, to up travel (no riding on the bump stops), etc. you will have less sway due to higher spring rate but yet a better ride.
There are plenty of places to take these on mild off road trails. Common sense is these aren’t rock crawlers even with a 4x4 conversion. But driving down rough washboard and unimproved 2 tracks is totally fine and fun. Just having a better departure angle on these rigs is way better than stock and worth it alone.
@@Bajavan1 bigger tires/wheels and lift always add more leverage/stress to factory ball joints in I-beams, hub bearings, rear axle bearings, u-joints, tie-rods, trailing arm bushings, brakes, ect. You can use drop drop brackets and bent I-beams to minimize harsh driveline angles but the added stress will always be there. It comes down to what your level of cost $ is acceptable for replacement parts for a given amount of mileage. Keep it stock and get 200k plus miles without hardly any repairs. Start lifting and oversize tires and all bets are off. It's just how the game works...been in the auto and offroad industry 25 years and yes there is a pro and con to this kind of stuff.
lol Jeremy had a Biden moment!!!!
