If you want to keep your ability for seating and retain the stock bench seat I would go with and extended body van. I have regular body and am planning on being able to fit two bikes inside, but I am doing an entire interior/seating remodel. When I'm done I will have room to take 3 passengers...
Bought mine off of ebay. Link is included, the guy I got mine from. Usable storage, and easy mod. Very happy with it. Thanks Sea.Jay, stoked to get it going. Haven't seen too many camper/conversion types in the passenger van-style, so I'm excited to see what I can come up with.
Console link on...
New center console clips right on. I did use some force, but that was because the used one I got was a little warped. But yes, clip right in. Much more functional than the old one with 4 useless cupholders...
Did a little work to the van the past few days. Picked up some 2013 take-out seats down in Southgate from a guy who does conversions on vans. Not great work from what I saw, but he had tons of stuff for both Ford and Chevy vans. Paid $300 for them, but when I went to install them there were...
RB components makes some great quality stuff. A family that we go camping/race with has quite a few of their motorcycle-specific products in their trailer, and they are very sturdy, well-built. Reasonable pricing as well for what you get.
Yeah, I saw that. Going to stick with the track I have, and use that for the seats. Looked into the flush mount with a flange, but it won't sit flush, my flooring is 3/8, not 5/8, and the distance from the bottom of the L-track to the flange is 1/2. So it would stick up anyway. Lesson learned...
I impulse bought one stick on Amazon to see how I liked it. Seems nice, I believe it is from Steadymate. However, it is advertised as "Surface Mount" track, so I think I'll be keeping this for other Tie-down locations, and getting some different flush-mount stuff for my floor. I saw US Cargo...
Think I'm going to go with the L-track. Going to have to wait a little bit to lay my floor now, but hopefully not too long, I'd like the L-track to sit semi-flush with the floor, so I need to know where the seats are going to go before I put the L-track in, and I need to modify one of the seat...
Yeah, I'm really trying to think it all out the way I want to have it done so I don't have to do it twice. Any pro's/cons to having the seats bolt into the L-track? Now I'm thinking of putting the floor down, and then putting the L-track on top of the floor in a different area, and not worrying...
That's what I was thinking. Had a long conversation yesterday with my uncle about it, and that's what we were most worried about. Thanks for the info, I'll definitely be through-bolting most of it then. Seats are going to be facing each-other, behind the drivers seat. Kind of like a Vanagon...
Thinking of doing the same thing for my two seats in my van. However, I was thinking of using riv-nuts through the floor for the L-track. Do you think that would be strong enough in a crash, or accident scenario? I don't want something to happen while driving, have people back there, and have...
Bit the bullet today and tore into the van. Took the seats out, carpet, gave it a good sweep, vacuum and cleaning, and then laid down the FatMat, and cut the OSB for the base of the van. I took a page out of volcomsurfer's build and used some 2x4's to shim the OSB down for a snug fit on the...
Yeah, it is pretty park bench like. Going to check out a couple of seats tomorrow hopefully. It may work out, I just need to see them in the van first and see if its even conceivable. Thanks for the tip.
So after pulling everything out of the van, and starting to measure things up, my plan to have two seats facing each-other behind the driver may be a little far-fetched. I was going for a VW-style interior, without the full bench across the back. However, with the RB van, that looks like it may...
I like what you did with your L-Track. are your screws going into the actual metal floor of the van at all, or just the stock flooring? Putting a floor in my van starting next week, and deciding whether to drill through the floor and mount the L-track with a through bolt and nut, or just screw...
Motocross race at Glen Helen. 6 guys, and 2 bikes. Unfortunately, we DNF'd. Locked up one motor about 5 or 6 hours in, and then had a fuel tank issue during the night. Oh well, always next year. We've raced it a few times before, always a good time. And thanks! Got 75 square feet of FatMat, the...
