I just hooked a switch into the interior. The Transit has been doing well! It would be really difficult to lift. FSWORKSTRANSIT welded up a spacer to get a 2in lift. I haven't figured out another way to get the front end up yet

Sticky this! Sticky This!

Primary Visions-there is a hookup so you can use the factory wheel controls. It works awesome! Old Country- PM'd You!

Look what came in the mail today....

Will, Your a gentlemen and a scholar. Make sure you post your build on here, I'm looking forward to see what a former Subie owner can do to transform one of these things!

Based on the revs per mile, my speedo / MPG should be about 5.9% off. As far as MPG goes 20mpg (21.2 corrected for tires) all city driving, lots of hills

I was able to get out of the office last weekend for a little camp trip down to South Carlsbad State Beach. It's nice to finally have a car with space! 2 surfboards 2 bikes and all my camp equiptment and firewood fit in no problem! I was even able to set up my hammock off one of the upper tow hooks and attach it to a tree for a nice relaxing sunset!

Checking out each OEM's Mobility Programs would be a good place to start for anyone looking for a conversion. https://www.fordmobilitymotoring.com/reimbursement.mob http://www.toyotamobility.com/ http://automobiles.honda.com/information/mobility-assistance.aspx

Push Bar Installed! Thanks 103west43rd! http://www.svcustoms.com/i-6233118-aries-offroad-5tabb-aluminum-light-mounting-tab.html http://www.svcustoms.com/i-6303880-aries-offroad-1113001-push-bar.html

The ARB awning is a lot cheaper, still requires a roof rack though http://store.arbusa.com/Search.aspx?k=awning

It has definitely been a hassle thus far, but I think I'm almost there :banvictory: I just need to see now if its worth investing in the fixed costs to make a marketable part, or if I should just have a kit handmade for my self

Pursuing my original goal of making the Transit Connect the ultimate vehicle for adventure I ran into a snag… The front end is just too low & there are no solutions on the market to lift the Transit Connect. After trying a number of options I think I have come up with a solution. However, making this part requires some custom CNC work and that isn’t cheap. I’d like to gauge interest on who is also thinking about lifting their transit. So, please help me out and complete this survey. With this preliminary research I will decide if a lift kit is worth creating and selling. Any comments below are always appreciated.
