I decided to convert my 2015 TC LWB Wagon into a Van. I got the Wagon because of the incentives, the 6 month or more delay on a custom Van order, and the Wagon had most of the features I wanted to customize a Van with. But my lifestyle rarely involves a single passenger, and never a need for 7, so the seats were more of a hindrance than a benefit. Although the flat deck provided with both rows folded is the best implementation of cargo duty in a passenger vehicle I’ve seen, I wanted more space and storage. So I set about a slow conversion process, trying things for a few days until the next improvement necessary became apparent. I’ve waited until the process seemed to be pretty final before writing this up to share. I’ll try to hit the highlights in the photos and descriptions below. But here’s the final result.

I got in touch with the Orlando, Florida location for Vaccar and they got right back to me. Their response was quite positive. They thought it was an awesome project. This just moved out of the 'hairbrained idea' category and into the 'I'm probably gonna do this' category.

Here is an idea for 2014+ Transit Connect owners, but first a little background...... The 2010 Transit Connect started out with no front fog lamps but did have rears! When I added my first, of many lights, the 2011 was released with both front and rear fog lamps. I noticed the main lighting switch had an additional position for the front fog lights so I bought the 2011 switch and used it to control the front fog lamps I added. Now, back to 2016.... If you are adding additional lighting in your 2014+ Transit Connect, why not buy the UK/EU switch and use it to control your additional lights or any other accessory that many need a switch.

True. But I have drilled lots of holes over the years!!!

Is there a specific part number for it? I'm going to look for those mounting points now - I was thinking of building something similar for my Titanium.

it's a ploy by Ford to get you to buy the mounting hardware for $1,000
