76Chateau, it appears you need a 4x4.

I once busted through frozen ground into mud and stopped at the frame.

Makes wonder about 76Chateau's picture, like did the van bust through a baked surface into dead sand underneath?

My 06 E-350 with a 6.0 "LOVE IT"
It has been called: "FBI Van" "Stalker Van" & my least favorite the "Rape Van"
It is used as a moto hauler. Added a rear seat, removable wheel chocks, tie down points. Shortly after purchasing we took it to Baja all loaded up.
I can fit 3 medium sized bikes inside and one on the hitch rack.


In these photos we had 2 inside and one on the hitch.


Un-loaded and stuck in the sand real quick.

They had just removed some dirt with a front end loader,so its was really soft.I was trying to level the trailer with the orange blocks that are in the pic.Put in gear took my foot off the break and it just started digging.I think if I had a 4x4 it could have gone either way,any how their was a
lot of weight in the back of the van,generator 20 gals.extra gas.

When my van is in good stead with me then its know as the Michelin Marshmallow.

When the van falls from favor then its thought of as the Big White Elephant.

I have a magnetic bumper sticker of a woman with ductape on yer mouth and says "Don't worry, your daughter's in good hands."
Goes great with the other one that says "I don't have a license to kill, but I do have a learners permit."
I have them to put on at car shows, have another talking about if your leaning on it, you better be a naked chick.

I love my 99 E-350, 5.4 Super Chip Micro Tuner, upgraded exhaust, and modified intake, it'll fly through the mountains during towing. I did finally buy my dream van, a mid Econoline, will require upgrades to make it legal for me to drive it, power steering and power brakes, upgrade to power steering from a 76-84 E-150 and entire I-beam end assemble, without the actual I-beam, giving me forward steering and disc brakes. I'll be swapping out the rear axle to match the bolt pattern to the front making it a 5 on 5 1/2" where currently it's factory 5 on 4 1/2". I need to put the slider track trim back on, the bolts on it have snapped off so I need to find replacements, it's in terrific condition for it's age, a 73 E-100.
