I see you didn't cover the floor with marine plywood. That's a good thing in those transits because the spare tire access door is in the floor. I have a buddy that covered it up and had to saw up his floor to get the spare out.
maybe the US transit is different?

but access to my spare is just inside the door below the floor height, which lowers the spare from underneath..
yes my van needs a clean my TM exhaust is directly above

*on mine you remove the bolt, which allows you to insert your jack handle into hole to lower spare on chain assembly

That’s my kind of luck right there!

George you should of shared every detail about your van and stuff inside. LOL

You can definitely tell people your strapped when on the job. LOL

You should have the tube on Vortex reel shortened so it only takes up half the van width.

My old reel is a old prochen reel I think. Then friend helped me make the angle iron water hose reel mod.

Don't ever put 3 n 1 oil on a solution reels bearings. Son of gun can unwind itself in like 30 second

I know what you mean regarding oiling the reel bearings. Sometimes the screeching is so bad it makes your ears want to bleed.🤫🎺 Then, you have no choice but to oil them. Not too much, a few drops will do. lol...

You should be strapped too! Some milk crates and straps would go a long way to clear up some floor space in that rig. :very_drunk:

It's cool to see your rocking the Judson! :headbang:

Now you got me curious where my spare tire is located.... I was in such a rush to slam this truck together and get it back on the road that i don't remember seeing one. I'll have to double check in the morning to see if i can track it down and post a picture... Hopefully, I didn't get covered with bed liner.

Thanks for the update Hack! The Mercedes Sprinter is the same except located near the rear doors instead the side. I'm pretty sure i don't remember seeing that in the T250.

Good point though! It would suck to get a flat 30 miles from town... You can see your spare, but can't get to it... It's like die'ing of thirst, on a raft, in the ocean. A total bummer... :hopeless:
