    coil-over springs versus leaf springs on E350 camper

    Also you forgot the torsion bar front suspension. Our Advanced 4x4 GMC van has this (basically from a 1 ton truck parts but it's a custom torsion bar crossmember by them). Even as a 1 ton van, empty, this thing actually rides great. Each setup has pros and cons.

    eye opener about gvwr

    Yeah, I have never understood people who buy 1/2 ton trucks to do 1 ton truck jobs.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Absolutely. This is my primary build spot. IG is just a side thing but since it's easy to do updates in real time, it might get some a day or two before I post up here. :)

    @Len.Barron any updates or pics out on trips? Very nice build. Are you still in the San Diego area?

    To those with chev express under hood light experience

    Reviving an old thread. Read the Four Wheeler article and that's a great idea. I just ordered one off Ebay and ordered an LED replacement bulb. Should be a nice upgrade to the non working light. I like the idea I can get 18' of length and can turn it on/off.

    WANTED: I Need Two Side Flares / Sleeping Pods for 1997-2025 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Van.

    Yeah, I don't think Fiberine will sell them without installing them. I know they won't with their high tops.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Did a little work this past weekend. Reinstalled the front headliner and added some sound deadening to the side walls. We drove it last night and it seems a little quieter inside. I also started a new IG page, if you want to follow along a little more in real time...

    How To Make Side FLARES For A VAN? Anyone Build Their Own?

    You also might try posting in the Van area, as this is Full Size, which is primarily trucks and larger SUV. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/forums/4wd-and-2wd-camper-vans-a-k-a-vanlife.58/

    WANTED: I Need Two Side Flares / Sleeping Pods for 1997-2025 Chevy Express / GMC Savana Van.

    Start building your own. Fiberine (who is the only ones making them for Chevy/GMC) just started making them earlier this year. I would be willing to bet there are less than a dozen vans with those installed, so finding a used set in not likely, unless the van was totaled. I keep thinking of...

    WANTED: Fiberglass Hightop for 1997-2025 Chevy Express / GMC Savana EXTENDED Van

    I just had a Fiberine 24" transit high top installed a few weeks back. With the reinforced roof, side panels, awning windows, installed with tax, it was closer to $8500. Total game changer and worth every penny. I looked for quite a while to find a used on for an Extended Chevy/GMC and...

    Good idea. :) Still trying to plan the layout but I figure that can really get started once I get the subfloor in.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    The other night I picked up 4 sheets of 1/2 Baltic birch plywood, that I am going to use for the floor. Since the previous owner had removed all of the factory seat tracks and then welded in half height Unistrut rails, I am going to use the Unistrut as the mounting points for the floor. My...

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Playing around with AI a little more, I think we might have found our color/graphic scheme. The wife even liked it. I also worked with a logo graphic that I had a professional designer create for me. I had AI create a logo with the turtle I had designed. I think this is our new logo.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    No, this is ALL AI generated. I put a picture into Gemini AI and then a text script that I found from someone on FB, the let it do it's thing. Once it created the model, I could then ask to change colors or graphics. There is no physical item. No idea how you would do interior mockups.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    So someone on FB had posted the script to use Gemini AI to do vehicle models. Let's just say I have been having some fun.... I am going to repaint the black and am most likely going blue, so here are some ideas.
