Upside down pictures made me a bit dizzy, but looks like a nice setup.

Zelle makes it clear not to send money to anyone you do not know; instant money transfer. Paypal would offer some recourse if used or a major credit card.

Jackery has refurbs/open box units for hefty discounts if you call direct or email. I picked up an Explorer 1000 for half off. I do agree that the tec/price is improving with other brands too.

The double stack...mount on top of the solar panels, put the panels under the kayaks on slides to pull out toward the sun. I'd probably look at the Advanced Tandem for packing inside. Side mount is going to make you too wide.

3/4" ply seems a bit heavy. Drawers can be 5/8" birch.

Jackery sells refurb/in the box Explorer 1000 for half off retail. Email or call their 800 number and they will respond with deals on units and panels.

Tire Rack in September...for my Express van. They skate around a bit, but lifted 3-4 inches. Make a bit of noise on certain asphalt surfaces. Hold confidently in tight/fast paved turns. Held traction in the snow last winter, but could get them to slide if not careful.

I was following the Old Blue build for the upper control arm mod. Ended up using the Cognito arms, no straps, General Spring leafs, Bilstein shocks, Toyo tires; handles much better than stock and gets me into some more remote places without damaging the hard parts.

Dude, nice find for remote living; where's old Blue? Three years since your last post...you know how to get some good deals, even in this market.

Sweet deal it appears, do you list the miles? Here in the west, but this will make a nice hitch carrier bike for somebody out in Connecticut.

I have the Alpicool LGcf45. I'm happy with the cooling operation, but it does make some sound that bothers the SO. We've been turning it off when we sleep. Mine is a fridge/freezer, I might have gone with fridge only for better efficiency. It was less than $300.

2005 came stock with the 16 inch rims. I just put Toyo OPEN COUNTRY A/T III LT235/85R16 tires on mine for more sidewall height, narrow footprint and cushion. Drives well in all conditions.

I bought the upside down shackles, but the shop ended up using the originals. Sounds like no issues with the springs, control arm, or shocks. Lots of details here in the threads; but all my part numbers are accurate.

https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/gm-fullsize-awd-van-info-thread.137390/post-2982674 Go to my post in the CM fullsize AWD thread and see my build. All the parts are available, model numbers are gold; shop around. Cognito upper control arms made all the difference in the handling and...

No shock extenders. The part numbers are for the lifted length. I recommend the Cognito Upper Arm modification highly; improved the articulation immensely.
