• 2019 TRANSIT XLT 350

This low-mileage Quigley 4x4 Ford Transit 350-XLT, 3.5L Ecoboost, Midroof van has been an amazing member of a family of six in Northern California. It's a 12-seat passenger van with < 28,000 miles that converts to a bare-bones but comfortable, off-road capable adventure van in 20 minutes.

Extensive photos are available here! (Interior, exterior, undercarriage, scuffs / scratches, etc.)

- Lift: Q-lift 2" lift + Billstein front struts
- Offroad Tires: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires
--> This is as large as you should go. I calculated the geometry so that only a small notch had to come out of the plastic wheel wells at the extreme end of the range. There's no rubbing with these tires. Don't go bigger.
Spare Tire Rack: Aluminess Driver Side Rear Door Box/Tire Rack ($1,400)
- Chains: KÖNIG XG-12 PRO 225 Snow Chains ($300)


------------------------
"Transformer" Build-out

- 3M Thinsulate Acoustic/Thermal Insulation SM600L (bonded with 3M adhesive)
--> NOTE: Thinsulate was meticulously installed in every void above the headliners and in every panel and hollow element of the body.

- 1/2 Inch Split Wire Loom Tubing Conduit with an SAE disconnect at terminus (behind driver's seat)

- Vent: Maxxair Maxxfan Delux ($250)
- Power: Jackery 1000 ($450)
NOTE: Primarily to power the Maxxair fan.

--------------
Bulletproofing
--------------
Sealed and tightened down all the stuff Ford leaves a little loose
- Caulked all side panel attachments against leaks from the inside
- Engine cover, Ford PN - DL3Z-6A949-D
- Rear bracket, Ford PN - BL3Z-6N081-B
- Oil fill extension, Ford PN - BL3Z-6763-B
- Insulator mount, Ford PN - AA5Z-9P686-A
--> NOTE: This is the Ford Mustang engine cover. I installed it to ensure that any minor water seepage into the engine bay during driving (a known issue with all Transits) would be diverted away from the engine block. This avoids a potential issue with pooling of water in the engine bay, reported by some owners in online forums.)
- Oil Drain Valve (Amazon)
Added to make oil changes clean and quick!
- Duct tape
--> NOTE: This may sound silly, but Ford doesn't install the A/C ducts neatly, and they typically leak. Ducts were all adjusted and properly taped and sealed throughout the A/C system (front and rear).
WeatherTech 1st row Floor Liners (Driver & Passenger) ($110)


--------------------------------
"Transformer" Camper Features
--------------------------------
- Disc-O-Bed Large Outdoor Convertible 2 Person Bench and Double Camping Cot Portable Bed Bunk System for Adults ($400)
- Linenspa Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Twin XL Size - 3 Inch Gel Infused Memory Foam ($144)
--> NOTE: Custom cut these mattresses to the Disc-O-Bed dimensions and then sewed custom mattress covers from standard sheets.


------------------
Exterior Upgrades
------------------
- Covercraft WeatherShield HP Car Cover ($835, retail)
- WeatherTech BumpStepXL (rear bumper step, in trailer hitch) ($130)
- Ford Factory Wheel Well liners (front) ($160)
- WeatherTech Mud Flaps ($80)
- Auto Ventshade [AVS] Outside Mount Rain Guards ($75)
--> These ensure you can crack the windows open to allow air flow into the van when the roof vent is running, even in pouring rain.


-----------
Nerd Stuff
-----------
- OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner ($130)
--> This is ideal for monitoring actual engine coolant, engine oil, and transmission oil temperatures in hot weather in the mountains when towing. I used this on every trip to identify ideal cruising speeds and ensure we maximized the life of the vehicle. I am happy to share the custom monitoring conversion algebra that is needed to set your iPhone up (so that you can monitor the "unpublished" engine codes like I do).
- Ford Transit 2019 Factory Workshop Service Repair Manual (DVD) ($45)

Who I am
---------
I'm a car guy. I've owned two International Scouts (1974, 1978), personally rebuilt and swapped engines, replaced water pumps, alternators, radiators, and countless hoses and fuses on late model cars, wept bitterly over a 1979 Alfa Romeo spider, and maintained a family fleet of mostly late model Tauruses and Hondas that my teenage kids seem to destroy faster than I can fix them.


I changed the oil in this van using only Motorcraft full synthetic oil, Motorcraft filters always at ~2/3 of the way through the oil lifespan in each change. The air filter was changed with a Motorcraft replacement at every oil change. I happen to prefer Ecogaurd for cabin air filters.


This vehicle has a clean title (no liens), current CA registration, and smog certificate.
