February progress report

I've been lazy on the update sorry about that.
Lately I've been sorting out the wiring and the accessories for comfort. I reached the stage where I need to get the floor done and start running wires. I finished the under floor storage, no pics I'll add some later but here are some pics of the low voltage wiring and switch panels I'm having made.

A lot of times you need to make little jumpers on the relays, I used welding rod and it makes for less wires and cleaner look

Here's a shot of the billet grill, some stainless bolts and the ujor frame support make for a very aggressive look.

Dual shocks were in order, so while I was there I raised the top shock mount hole 1 1/4" to gain more bump travel, spacers to go between and some 6" bolts and now it's riding really nice

I also mounted 5 rock lights under the van, here's the front bucket lights, I used 55w Hella flood lamps, because their cheap and I won't care if they get damaged. $30 for all lights.

air tank

Progress report :

... Viair compressor. It mounts to the body with a couple of brackets I made, it fits perfectly and it's out of the way. I also mounted the air tank to the frame behind the right tire....

Is the air tank aluminum made?

Yes, however it's way more than a simple pattern. I can help you make one if you'd like... in fact I have one ready to go to a good home.. I started making another one yesterday.
The question I have for you... are you willing to help me change my spark plugs ????

LOL !!!!!!!
