    Convertible Bed/Seat, What Are They Called?

    I'd like to convert my 2nd row seat to the conversion van seat/bed I used to see back in the day, but I have no idea what those seats are called or where to get one. I don't need anything powered, just something easier to use than my folded and stowed seat/bedframe combo and results in a full...

    Trying to find 10' Telescoping Poles for 10x10 Awning

    I'm making a 10'x10' awning for my van and would like to have a pair of 10' telescoping side poles to extend away from the van. The trouble is nobody seems to make telescoping poles longer than 9'. I'm scouring Amazon and have already been through McMaster-Carr. I can extend some shorter...

    Shipping A Motorcycle From Australia to the US

    I'm not really sure where to put this, but I hope someone in here might know something about shipping motorcycles internationally. I bought a 1991 Honda CBR250RR from a friend in Australia and I'm trying to figure out how to get it here to the US. This is going to be a track bike so I've...

    Roof Light Wiring

    I have some KC Daylighters on the roof of my van and I'm trying to figure out how to route the wires to the battery and cabin switches. I do not want to drill in the roof, but I really don't know a decent way to get the wires through in a neat manner. What would you guys suggest?

    How Durable Are Gutter Mounts For Awnings?

    I'd like to get an awning for my Chevy Express but I don't have a roof rack and don't really want one. I came across some gutter mount brackets but wonder how they hold up for off road use. The last thing I need is having an awning fall off. Apparently I'm pretty rough on my stuff since I...

    Riding Racetrack Road in DVNP

    Has anyone on here ridden Racetrack Road in DVNP? I've driven it a bunch of times and got to thinking about riding it. The terrain doesn't look challenging but I wonder if the washboard makes for a very not-fun ride. I have a Pivot Mach 429 and a Les. I'd probably take the 429. I have been...

    Mods To Store A Larger Tire In The Stock Location? (GM)

    I have 285/70R17 (33") tires on my Chevy Express. Currently I carry the spare on an Aluminess rack which has been fine but I'd like to go back to storing the spare in the stock location. The tire is too wide and a little too large to fully tuck into the stock spot so I'm wondering if anyone...

    Need Cushions For A Folding Seat/Bed

    I've decided to make a converting seat/bed for my van. I've been hunting for conversion van seats but haven't had much luck finding anything nearby, and what I do find seems to be for all vans not GM, and they're usually whorehouse red. (I have a Chevy Express with grey interior) I don't...

    Carrying Tools...Cutting Down Noise?

    I usually carry two toolboxes on trips, one metric and one standard. I'm thinking of combining them in some manner so I have one toolbox that covers my motorcycles (metric), stock van equipment (metric), and modified van parts (standard). I think I'll need a new toolbox to do this, but I'd...

    Looking For A Folding Seat/Bed

    I've been searching seat that I can use for 2nd row seating but also folds flat into a bed. I've searched for conversion van seats but I must be using the wrong search terms. Anyone know what those things would be called or anywhere I can buy one? My other option is see what's in a junkyard...

    Auxiliary Light Power and Roof Mount Questions

    I have a Chevy Express and I'm adding a significant amount of auxiliary lights to. The front bumper has 3 LED bars (brand/wattage unknown, they came with the bumper from the fabricator) and 4 Hella 500's (55W/ea). I also have 4 KC LED Daylighters (39W/ea) that I'm going to put up on the...

    My First Winch Install...One Basic Question

    I'm installing the first winch I've ever put on a vehicle and would like to know where you guys usually connect the positive lead. My directions just say "+ Positive" which in my experience with other electrical accessories means directly to the battery, but there must be a better way than...

    Need A Mount For Roof Lights On A GM Van

    I'm getting a lot of lighting for my Chevy Express and I just purchased some KC Daylighter spot lights to go up on my roof. But first I need a mount and I was wondering what you GM guys are using, or if someone knows of a universal bar that would work. Something like this, but for a Chevy...

    I Have A GM Van, I'm Looking For More Off Road Capability

    I recently bought a 2010 Chevy Express to use as a weekend camper and motorcycle hauler. So far I have those bases covered but I'm now looking into adding a little more off road capability. My intended use aside from trackdays with my motorcycle is to get out into the desert and roam around...

    Chevy Express Lift or 4x4 Options

    I recently purchased a 2010 Chevy Express 3500 for use as an adventure vehicle. I bought it to replace my F350/toy hauler combo with the intent of carrying my motorcycle to the race track for track days, sleeping in, and exploring the desert and back country. As it sits, it's a stock passenger...
