Hey Chris, the van looks great! Would it be possible to get some shots/measurements of his roof marker lights? I bought some to install on my van, but I'm not sure where exactly to put them!

Also, you mentioned that you are doing a conversion on a 5.4 van soon, and it will allow you to finalize some things for the 5.4s. Any clues on what exactly you are finalizing? I'm still planning on doing the conversion, just need to decide when the time is right!

Thanks,
Jason

Sure, shoot me an email & I'll send a pic.

The 5.4 stuff will be smaller things like a t-case shifter kit & heat shields. Thats about it!

H3Van is gone! This van actually belongs to Hank Williams III, he's an awesome guy. Glad I was able to help him out & get this van driving right! Here he is with his rig.

No way, that's awesome! I was just listening to some of his music on the way home from work!!! Glad to see he has good taste in vehicles! Maybe he'll mention driving his van down a muddy dirt road in one of his future songs instead of a truck?

any details on the floating airbags? Is this new OJOR tech?

Pretty simple really. I'll post a pic. Basically, the airbag isn't attached at the bottom, so it rests on a pad @ ride height. When the suspension droops out, there's no restriction from the bag.

Chris, have you ever had any problems or heard of any bad points, noises, etc. to removing the Spare tire mount/Rear frame cross member? (on a Regular body not an EB, and with a heavy steel rear bumper) I know you make a cross member, why did you start making it?

[ujoint]

The EB vans have the spare tire x-member as well as another support further forward. In order to make the skid larger, I remove that forward x-member and weld the new one in the frame right where it starts to bend for axle clearance. There's a good pic further back in my posts. As long as the skid & receiver are in place, there's no issue with noise or stress.

I'm actually pulling the rear skid off my van this week to re coat the supports, and I plan to make some changes & get the RB van skid into production.
