Took care of a couple projects today. The big one was installing the pass. side seat swivel. This is made by Ironcloud Metal and is one of the nicest fabbed items I have seen in a while. Very well constructed and works great. Install was easy. Only thing that wasn't just dealing with 8 nuts...
Catalytic heaters create a LOT of moisture in a small space. You really want something that has the combustion vented outside and the heat exchanger that blows hot air inside. Something like a Propex heater or similar (for propane). Event the cheap diesel heater ones. Any of these Wave or...
As for lights, I would highly recommend Diode Dynamics. They have been awesome and they have a few different power levels. They have a number of different options of form factors, so you should be able to find something that fits your needs. Very high quality but at a lower price than some of...
Timbrem suspension is the original install when built. Nothing changed.
Lug 6x5.5"
265/70-17 (32")
Track ~ 68"
Yes there is a matching spare.
No brakes but spindles will accept them.
Lowest setting 25" currently. Can be raised to 27" or 29"
Yeah GM based 4x4 vans (not the AWD version) are few and far between. I think I find 10 Ford 4x4 vans for every 1 GM 4x4 van.
The GM paint issue goes back into the late 80's (and for a lot of manufacturers) when EPA mandated waterborne primers and changes in paint. It was total crap back pre...
The exhaust being rusty is not uncommon since they heat cycle and that is hard on any coating that might have been on it.
To me, it looks like it was sprayed with some undercoating on the frame rails but hard to say if it was done prior to any rust forming (protecting the frame) or after rust...
My first thought is, GAWR combined front and rear, tends to be higher than the actual GVWR. GVWR is overall max weight distributed across all four points. Depending on how the vehicle is loaded, you could have more weight on one axle than the other. Trucks are more prone to this than...
I answered a couple of these questions in your post on my build thread. 😀
If you are solo, I would say regular length but it's tight for two. That extra 20" makes a lot of space.
Since my van is the same WB and footprint of my 2nd Gen Ram extended cab, long bed, I wheeled my first one all...
It measures 131" at the bottom of the side windows, back of pass seat to rear door.
Regular length would lose 20" between the side door opening and wheel well.
As for overall size, it is exactly the same WB and footprint of my 2000 Ram extended cab, long bed. I was shocked as I thought the...
