    Default What is everyone up to?

    I get sad when this section has no activity , so what is everyone up to? Projects/Mods? Trips? Nothing?

    Chris,
    What 's happening w/ your bumper build?? It was taking shape. I have that as one of my future projects and I was following your thread with great interest.

    I went to NC & NY for 2 weeks over the holidays, so it's been on hold. Now that I'm back in the groove, I'm ready to get going again. It's time to bend some tube & buy aluminum!! I now have a deadline (p-day weekend) so it's time to get busy. I'm also almost finished with a solid axle swap for a customer, (tahoe) so that's taking up allot of time.

    Scott-- that sounds like a blast!! I want pics of the 08's with the diesel!!

    well, I just finished installing a set of spacers on my rear axle and a pr of Firestone Ride Rite airbags.

    Van now sits how it should and doesn't sag and the rear end matches the front....All in al a very straightforward install

    props to Fred at wheeladapter.com for the rear spacers

    I have been taking the van out for a stretch whenever its nice out and the salt is off the road. Other than that, just been buying parts for the build this spring. So far I've collected most of the electrical components, many of the turbo conversion parts, wheels, tires, winches, lighting, and some onboard computing components. I have SO much work to do!!!!!!!

    I've been working on a van conversion You have no idea how hard it is to track down a 33 mm socket. I finally have the axle fully stripped - now its time to get started cleaning things up. I have loads of unglamorous jobs that need to get done (water pump, hoses, low pressure oil pump). I just installed an amsoil duel bipass oil filter.
