Title: 2006 Phoenix Cruiser 2551 Detailed and All new graphics
Post by: serrano4657 on July 21, 2019, 05:46:53 pm

What bought our 2006 Phoenix Cruiser 2551 in May, and now took it to a shop to have all the old graphics that were faded and cracked replaced with new. They stripped off old graphics and detailed the coach from the roof down to the tires. The graphics are a perfect match, no ghosting.  Pictures might be hard to tell, but it looks brand new and they had it done in a week. All 3m graphics.  A BIG SHOUT TO RV STRIPES AND GRAPHICS IN SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Here are before and after pictures

I am curious serrano4....  Does your 2006 2551 E350 have a rear stabilizer bar?  Our new 2007 2350 E350 did not come with one.  I added a heavy duty rear bar (and front bar too) a few months after buying the rig.

Another thing to inspect for is your front stabilizer bar.  The ends of the bar are inserted into rubber grommets that are in the lower control arms.  If you see a gap between the rubber grommet and the bar, you should replace the bar with an aftermarket heavy duty bar.  The stock front stabilizer bars are very weak yet still wear away those grommets quickly.  A heavy duty aftermarket bar does not utilize those grommets.  In this picture of our rig with aftermarket heavy duty bar, you can see the rubber grommet no longer in use.

Starting in 2008, Ford decided to do it right with properly engineered front and rear stabilizer bars.  Though they are not heavy duty, they offer "some" reliable contribution.

BTW:  Nice rig!

WOW. That is nice.

Mrs V and I are looking at a similar color as your base, it is a close match to our 2015 TDI wagon. Nice to see it in pics.
