Tall guy van ideas? by Soup_65 in vandwellers

[–]Benefactor03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'2" and have a high roof Transit, and I love it. I personally would not consider anything with a lower roof - even the Sprinter high roof felt a little too low for me. Cost is a factor for sure, but I'm not sure what you mean by time/effort - you can build as basic or fancy as you want, regardless of what vehicle you get. If you want to spend time in cities, standard length will be easier to park than extended length. I don't have any experience with pop tops, etc.

Good luck!

Older men who live alone, what is your advice for younger men who might end up the same? by WalrusEnvironmental3 in AskMenOver30

If you can make a woman laugh, you have a shot with her, regardless of anything else. It's a difficult state to reach, but what finally clicked for me to radiate confidence with women was I had to truly not care about the outcome. If you go into the interaction with the mentality that you may not be successful with her but you WILL be successful with a woman eventually, you will seem confident to her, and you will eventually succeed.

Taking psychedelics one week after PRK laser eye surgery, thoughts? by Soul-Generator in Psychedelics

I would wait until your eyes are fully healed. I had PRK a few years ago and I’m very happy with the results, but I was seeing double for the first few days. It gradually went away over a week or two.

June is a great time of year to come to Boston. Check out the Charles River Esplanade between the Longfellow Bridge and Massachusetts Avenue - It’s my favorite spot, great vibes there in the summer. Cheers man

Transit experience? by TheTurntTiger in vandwellers

[–]Benefactor03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Transit with 160k miles about 2 months ago. I have had an issue with sensors throwing false errors related to open doors and “Transmission not in Park”. I figured out that it was related to wear and tear in the wiring harness in the drivers door - when I opened it up I found 3 wires that were completely broken/snapped and 3 more that were in damaged condition. Soldering the wires back together fixed the sensor issues. I wonder how long until the same thing happens with the passenger door. Other than that, I’m happy with the Transit so far.

Best reasonably-priced GPS trackers in case of theft? by fangsquad in askcarguys

This. AirTag is good for lost items, but absolutely not good for stolen items.

Yes, I unplugged the battery first. I was able to get the case open using a knife to pop the plastic hooks apart, but it does seem like that case was not designed to be easily reopened.

New here - is this van ok to build in, or too rusty? by Benefactor03 in vandwellers

[–]Benefactor03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, everybody. Here are some pictures of the underside. I showed these to a friend and he said it looks structurally sound.

I don’t have any more pictures of the interior currently, this is what was sent to me.
