Moving a 12k winch on a cradle is doable for one person. I can do it by myself but most definitely prefer not to. Believe me when I say I’m not in good shape either. However it’s easier than lifting my 35” spare back onto the back bumper to bolt back onto the tire carrier. Like mentioned though...
We have our 12k on a home made caddy. It resides on a curt front receiver, but has only been used in the back. The curt receiver iirc is only rated at 9500, so pulling a 10,600 lb van out of a stuck concerns me, but we don’t really take a lot of chances when out solo. We wheel with a group...
love it man! great idea and super simple execution!
does it really smell though? seems like that hot super dry heat would dry it faster then it could smell it up.
I have plans for something similar if we ever get on our feet again. more like a dry compartment/cubbie though. after seeing this...
about all I could send you is a pic. it was crafted on the as you go program, lol. your welcome to pull it off and trace it out sometime though. in the meantime stop by the salvage yard and pick up some extra lug studs. I went with 7 just to have some spares on hand. too many stories of people...
woke up this morning with a little dusting of snow. I wanted to head down to the hot springs, but wife can’t sit them and didn’t want to get out of bed. solution? drive to springs with top deployed. she snoozed in the van and I soaked for a solid 3 hours.
not sure if he’s on this forum or not, but member grampswrx on the smb forum is who posted it up. I just shot the link out to my local van brothers ;)
looks good man! I made my own 8x170 adapter. you should copy it. I designed it so the tire actually rests on the bumper instead of all the...
pulled for another member on the smb forum and they didn’t end up needing them. Both windows, frames, latch mechanisms, spacers, all hardware, and backing plates. Only thing missing are the trim rings. If you already have the trim rings, leave the spacers off when installing.
The windows are...
primer van? Perfect. Just go grab a set. Those things are all over the place here. Only real difference I’ve seen in the doors are the style of hinges. Other than that you got your pick of any of them since your already primered up. Try to find the popout windows if you can too. Typically in the...
1: crl is one of the very few options available. They are kinda funky looking too imho. They are close but not exact. Far enough off that I couldn’t live it, but I’m anal about stuff like that.
2: can’t put oem windows in doors that didn’t come from the factory that way without serious fab work...
Dang didn’t know you were moving. Next time you have the van in boise lmk. I’d really like to check out that old school top. It’s looking really good man!

never used the ford power seats, but if they are as slow as every other vehicle I’ve sat in with power seats adjusting them to the sweetspot would definitely be annoying.

One of the members of the smb forum removed one of the rear door windows and had a steel or aluminum plug made for it then reinstalled it like it was the window. He then mounted his propane tank to it (among other items). That way he didn’t have to drill any holes in the body or modify his...
