9MPG towing. I am hoping I can squeeze a mile or two more when I time the injector pump. I installed a new one, and it may be off. I ordered the tool last week. hope it will be here soon

Its a ball joint 60 . BTW I just drove it from Ohio to Reno Towing my 4Runner. Boneville Salt Flats are flooded. His some snow in Nevada, and locked in the hubs for the first time. All smooth. Only got it up to 45mph with the hubs locked.

The final pieces are coming together.. Added 2 outlets in the van. One by the house battery for a maintainer charger, and one by the kitchen. Maybe a heater, or charging laptop. New injector pump Modified wrenches to remove the pump And the final piece. New front driveshaft. HMMMM...

I decided not to use the stock shifter for a few reasons. First mine was broken. They do fail. get gummed up, stiff, corrode and lock up. I can put the shifter where I want it. When I mount it to the floor, I could move it over a little to leave the center more open. I wasnt sure how much the...

All I had was blue paint. Some foam tape under to help seal it Snuck it under the carpet Maybe a little long, but it works And its all together.. If I was to do it again. I would have made it a little smaller base. I don't use half the throw I have. I did take some foam from an old camping...

Also still tinkering with the shifter.

Still tinkering with it. Hacked together a cheep kitchen set up. Top comes off to move everything outside if I can

I got e4od with a cracked case I was going to pull apart, and take the tail shaft out of it to use in mine. But by the time I would have paid for everything and tried to do it my self, it wasnt much more to order a trans from Monster

so far great. noticably firmer shift but not harsh. The pump must be pushing more fluid. it wasnt long before the factory cooler lines started to leak. Had to repair them. Now Im waiting for a injector pump from R&D then I hope to head cross country.

I started to work on the shifter. The arm will prob be close to the floor so the seat can spin. Yea the pic is upside down. but thats how it will slide thru the floor

The fiberglass screen wouldnt stay in the corners when I folded them. The foam was $12 screen $10 Then the paint $20.. Plywood and regular paint is cheaper.

I started to make a set of small wall cabnets for my van. $12 foam $20 paint $15 screen. and a few days work so far. Hate them. Im going to quit and go buy some Plywood.

About to head to Junk Yard. Last van I did I put a suburban shifter in. Anyone have a fav shifter they like to use?

Well they sent me the wrong torque converter, so I had to wait another week.. But I did get some stuff done! Added some rods to the seat plates, and put some crappy tack welds tot he nuts Now the seat can come in and out without taking the fuel tank out. Fuel tank, Tcase and new trans is...

Im Back from my tour of Australia and New Zealand side trip. Now to work on my van. This just got shipped to me today! Hopefully I can get some work done this weekend.
