Got a small bonus at work so I did what any good American would do- spend it!

When I bought my ADV VAN it already had the lift kit and wheels on it... but I didn't like the chrome bumpers and chrome grille. Finally remedied that situation.

Installed an OEM black grille (cheap, like $50!), bushwacker fender flares, Triton V10 fender stickers that came on the later vans, and finally I got the front and rear bumpers coated with LINE-X (bedliner material). I really like how it came out!

 

Looks nice....I like the line X look too .....

 

Does look good!

Oddly enough I miss my chrome front and rear step bumpers on my new-to-me '03---thinking of swapping them from an '00 E250 that's soon to be up for sale!

 

Hello Klinquist, I was surfing the net and found your forum on your van. I have the exact same van except in the e-250 model. I am inquiring about your Line-x coating on your bumpers. Would you mind sharing how much it was for LINE-X to do your job? I will be posting my van pics here soon.

Thanks in advance

 

$700ish if I recall.

 

Your van looks cool.

Does it have v10? Or just the emblems?
why is it called "ADV VAN"?

 

Yes, of course it has the V10.

It's the "Adventure Van"

 

Line-x on the bumpers! I like your thinking young man. I may have to steal that idea to smarten up the sad looking bumpers on my rig.

And what does a van lift kit consist of? I didn't even know they were available for vans.

 

Lift kit is from Action Vans: Action Van Suspension - We make driving a van fun again! Ford Van Lift Kits. Bolt on kits for your E-Series Ford Van.
