    Unfortunately I am still here after 4 hours. The cat put on backwards had a big *** arrow stamped into the metal on it. So you have 2 cats side by side - when up on lift it was pretty easy to see. The guy was all pissed he out it on wrong. So today new high flow cats - the right ones...

    Lifted van with dirt bike hitch carrier?

    Get one and then see how it fits on the van. The drop is pretty good stock. I didn't need a drop - rolling on 33"s - I did need a straight extension to clear the spare tire on the rear. Get the gas can holder with the MX Hauler- definitely worth it- Solid carrier that will hold the...

    Lifted van with dirt bike hitch carrier?

    No tie down needed, as you have bolts that run thru the foot pegs that hold the bike. Also since its supported only by the frame there is no bounce of suspension to worry about. Super stable set up- been running this for over 10 years- with no problems. I have seen rail type hitch haulers...

    Who has the best set up for a bed?

    I have been using a blow up Kelty queen size mattress with a foam topper and find I need something better. For one moisture gets trapped between the foam topper and air mattress. And air mattresses move when you move- making for less than ideal sleep. Been eyeing those trifold gym type mats...

    4 link, Coilover, 4x4, e350 Conversion - King / Full Traction

    You might want to track down a few for sale - drive them and see what type of road manners they have- see what type of build equals what type of ride quality. Plus gives you a chance to ask the owners about what they like and don't like about their build- what wears out etc.

    I think I found her, opinions please!

    Compared to other $10k vans you won't find one with 36k on the engine. Sounds like the owner took really good care of it- huge plus. From what you said it sounds like a great van.

    Anyone experience issues with brakes overheating?

    Too funny - the GF lives just up the road on a side street from you, we pass your house on way to take kids to school. I need to hit the scale and see what the 3500 express actually weighs- what blows is am 3 mills thru a 7 mill pad with only 6k miles, so that ratio wont net me too long...
