Place holder for parts specific information.

Basic info on converting GM vans to 4x4. I don't know of any aftermarket vendors that supply parts or kits to convert GM vans to IFS or Solid axle. Clydesdale does GM IFS conversions http://www.sportsman4x4.com/clydesdale/ Quigley did solid axle conversions on GM vans in the early 2000's and...

Thanks. I'm curious about the TTB front end and am interested to learn more about it.

The TTB performing better offroad at higher rates of speed makes a lot of sense to me but I'm still trying to understand the crawling up off a beach in the sand thing. What you are describing sounded like wheel hop due to axle wrap but a linked suspension system shouldn't have that particular...

Was your friends front suspension a leaf spring or coil set up?

Nice rig, definitely an investment but sounds like you know exactly what you need based on previous experience. I was curious about the suspension since my 06 GMC AWD half ton Savana has torsion bar suspension as well and I really like the way it rides. I looked on the Quigley site and found...

What is it about the TTB setup that makes it better than a solid axle in the sand?

What kind of front suspension did Quigley set it up with?

cant wait to see how it looks with the top on!

Regarding the rattles in the pop top. I mostly noticed it on gravel roads and occasionally on the pavement. The added weight on the roof contributed to a little more body roll when cornering. It's not a bad deal, just a trade off. Seems like most people that have them are happy with the set up...
