Where to start- at the beginning I suppose. This vehicle was sent from the dealer to an approved Ford up fitter for
4x4 conversion- Clydesdale 4x4- utilizing all Ford components from '05+ model F-350 4x4: axles, T-case, springs
(coils), etc. The van was sold to the first owner to transport people in it's original 15 seat configuration. After
2 years, an individual purchased it for a very few months in hopes of building it into an Expedition rig, which he
quickly realized was a bigger endeavor than he felt comfortable undertaking. Then, having an uncle with a Ford
dealership, we purchased the van through him to extend the factory bumper to bumper warranty a year, and the
driveline/powertrain warranty to 100k miles, and she only sits at 39k miles now!!
So, first the base truck: '13 E-350 EB 15 seat XLT, MSRP $49, 979
-6.8 V-10, super tough and reliable
-5 speed automatic transmission with Tow/Haul
-4.10 max tow package with integrated brake controller
-reverse backing sensors
-running boards, privacy glass, and remote locking
Total to this point = $71, 314
The second owner also had all the sills wrapped in clear vinyl, and entire truck rustproofed using Waxoyl- the best
available and very expensive as they start with entire steam clean of the underside!!
Then, on to my additions, which began with complete Ford 30k mile service and checkpoint to be approved for the
factory extended warranty. Finally the build as follows:
-Front bumper modified to incorporate Sterling Equipment (supplier for Florida Fish and Wildlife) HD brush guard
and winch mount
-new Ironman winch with remote
-Aluminess rear tire carrier
-Aluminess roof rack & side later. Rack has rear rollers and extra Yakima cross bars for boat cradles, etc
-5/ new Toyo AT-II tires, E rated, 34" 285/75-17
-upgraded head unit withUSB, Blue Tooth, and screen
-hard wired rear camera
-remote start
-removed 2nd and 3rd row seats to fit reclining Siena seats with leg rest (all orig seats included)
-custom brackets for Siena seats utilizing factory floor mounts
-8' rubber mat in rear to protect factory carpet
-rear LED light on separate circuit
-front LED fog lights on separate circuit
-front LED bar (with spot light provision) on separate circuit
-graphics are vinyl, and easily removable
