HELLO TRANSIT GROUP

Postby FredMcCarter69 » Fri May 26, 2017 11:54 am

I am new to the TRANSIT but not new to FORD. I have been purchasing FORD vehicles since my first car which was a 1963 Galaxie 500. Through the years I have owned many FORD trucks and vans.
This is going to be my poor man's motor home. It will be fixed up like the old vans in the 70s.
I special ordered my Transit loading it with all the options I might need or use.
It was ordered in November 2016 and arrived at the dealership early in March.
I have started the customization and have lots to do. I started with the customer light bar. I found there is almost no one that produces add-on stuff for the TRANSIT. Lots of places in Europe have loads of items.
The only problem so far is the documentation for the UPFITTER switches I ordered is either incorrect or there is a problem in my van. I have a FORD Field Service Engineer searching for answers.

Have a great day everyone. As of this writing we are entering Memorial Day Weekend. Please be careful out there.

Here is my first customization.
Since I could not find a bolt on light bar, we made one.
First we removed the bumper cover and bumper. Then we manufactured our own mounts for the KC-Lite bar (fits F250-350)
Then we mounted the mounts to the bumper. Next we cut holes in the bumper cover and then replaced it on the TRANSIT.
Then we bolted on the light bar and lights.

I think it looks "SICK" (I think that is the new looking good slang)

Have a GREAT DAY!

Welcome to the forum :D

It would be best to put this build thread in the camper section, or the progress section, (Whichever you prefer, but not both) where more like minded people will see it 8) 8)

Enjoy your Transit :mrgreen:
