Quigley 4x4 Conversion

Ford Dana 60 Front Axle with Cross Over Steering

4” Spring Under suspension

The van also comes with all the documentation and manuals from Quigley, this conversion was done around 1997 so the front end has 200k miles on it.

Sportsmobile Pop Up Top

Top conversion completed by Sportsmobile, it is a fiberglass top that raises to a full sleeping area. Very comfortable for two and can fit three if needed. It is the gas strut version, only takes a slight push and the top springs up into place. Overload bars are included to prevent the top from retracting if there is weight on the roof like a kayak. Tent canvas and windows in good condition, no mold or mildew and no leaking seals when closed. Only imperfection is a patch and hole on the aft end of the canvas. This was caused by the rear lock. Has never been an issue when camping. The sleeping platform can also be raised with the top allowing you to stand up fully inside the van.

Rear Axle

Factory 14 Bolt w/ limited slip

Exterior

-Bumpers

-Roof Rack

-Spare and cargo box on swing outs (Cargo Box is cracking and will need to be welded or replaced, just a cheap box off Google Shopping)

-35” BFG KM3’s (less than 3k miles)

-KMC 17” Wheels

Custom bumpers front and rear, roof rack with ladder, spare tire carrier, and cargo box. The van does have LED lighting mounted for scene lighting and fog lights. They are all controlled by an SPOD, these can be included or removed based on agreed price. A RV propane tank is mounted in an armored section in the rear bumper, it is new and never filled.

Interior

-Captain’s Chairs

-SPOD w/ touchscreen

-Killmat sound deadener

-New multilayer floor

-L Track Mounting – Used for rear seat and tool drawer slide

-Third Battery w/ Blue Sea Auto Charging Relay

-Separate 12v fuse box for additional interior electronics

-12v outlet for fridge, the Dometic can be included for right price

-Rear seat folds down to a bed, can sleep one or two

-Diesel heater mounted but not plumbed or wired

 

A diesel heater has been fitted but has not been wired or plumbed to the fuel tank, I have been putting this off due to dropping the fuel tank to install the fuel pick up. The auxiliary power system with the third battery is something I built and can be removed if not wanted. It has plenty of spare connections and has a cigarette outlet for a 12 volt fridge/freezer. The rear seat has been rebuilt and recovered by the previous owner, it is electric and folds down at the push of a button. You can sleep two for a total of four in the van.
