What did you use to level the front to clear the tires? I'm about to put moog cc880s springs on mine hopefully it'll lift enough to clear the tires I have. I wanted to go with a 20" wheel but had to settle for 18's as I couldn't find a load rated E all terrain tires small enough in the 20.

I was born in a moto van in 1978... This is my latest scooter hauler that I just built. I fabbed up a huge 13 foot roof rack and ladders from scratch with solar panels flushed into the roof racks, Diesel Cabin Heater, HUGE AC Unit, all LED lighting........and then had to sell it cause I suck at money. I miss it much.

And my old 98..... I put 400,000 Miles on it wakeskating around the country and racing harescrambles in MI.

Yeah. I love the trans coolers on the front bumpers on some of those crazy van builds. haha.

I think my next van will be a Corvan or a really old Ford Van. Any of those out there?

I want to ride some GNCC or Enduros on a old metal tank Husky and pretend im Mert Lawwill someday.

If you can find an e350 regular length van with a 8.3 diesel in it. They are cool. I lucked out on an 02 full explorer conversion. Although I don’t put bikes in it, Inpulla 35ft toy hauler with it.

Mercedes Metris moto van
I had a Metris up until recently. People would always come up to me at the track in disbelief as they didn't think there was a chance in hell I could fit a full size moto in one. Truth is, I could fit two pretty easily.

Just about done with my van. Just have to do a bunch of little stuff like trim peices to tie it all together. I’ll post a bunch of pics when done.

This folds into a couch.

I did, I replaced it with a sprinter. The problem I had with the Metris is only being able to transport two people. I thought about adding a second row of seats but then I wouldn't be able to transport bikes. Having to constantly take the seats out every time I rode (which is 1-2 times a week) would have been frustrating to me.

If you don't see yourself having that issue, then it really is a great option. It drives like a car, you can park it almost anywhere a regular car would fit, and I would regularly see 26mpg on my trips to the track, my record being 30.1mpg.

I made a little bench/storage unit for mine which I would leave all my moto stuff in, including my helmet. It was nice to sit on when I was getting changed and I could still fit two bikes in no problem.

Such great dogs! He's bigger now, absolutely loves the track. I started taking him from a young age so he wouldn't be phased by the noise.

vans make awesome moto haulers. i've had several regular vans (e150, chev express) this my 1st stand up, love it.

This is a Transit 150 Medium Roof 130 Wheelbase. 2 bikes and everything else fits no problem.

1 bike with just my stuff is even better....

Isn't it nice? With this new "standup" lol, all the windows, with good AC, I find myself hanging in side between motos a lot. I never really did that in the old E150 cargos.
