extended = 18-inch collapsed = ?? (can't measure as we have convex mirrors attached to the arms which prevents collapsing) These are ford mirrors, not aftermarket.

Wish we were your neighbors!!! I would also like to hear about the tires as we're considering 37's in maxxis or goodyear. Although you've probably already considered, one thing about a ladder is the offset from the body shell to allow enough space to create a platform for the foot versus a toe hold.

egt wiring goes thru the rubber grommet below the steering column in the firewall. there's an existing hard-cased tube going thru the same grommet and we piggybacked on that.

update? r u taking orders?(y)

You're doing almost the exact same upgrades that we did in the previous year-and-a-half...stereo (pioneer 8400NEX) ...mirrors (stock ford towing) ...wiring...etc. The sportsmobile forum is a wealth of information for these vans = https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/ = both for the van side...

FYI - an option that may work better than rivnuts or plusnuts is weld mount or click bond studs >>> they don't require drilling. http://weldmountsystems.com/products-fasteners-stainless-studs.php https://www.clickbond.com/ you can use their brand adhesive or construction adhesive. following the...

Go for it. You can always redo if it doesn’t work. Post some pictures if it works. We need to redo the design of the sway bars and this might provide ideas. (y)

Progressive coil springs are nice. As are progressive leaf springs. I know that the rear needed to be lifted to match the front, but those are some really big blocks. Hopefully there’s money in the budget for new leaf springs?!?

dry ice to shrink and/or heat to expand...maybe a mixture of both?!? PB Blaster to round it out? and these may help: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?734155-How-do-you-remove-stuck-wheel-spacer http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/997/304938-wheel-spacers-stuck-rear-wheels.html...

Interesting test, but who wants to own a Government Motors vehicle? I'd buy neither vehicle as it costs almost as much as a house. Why did they not perform a chassis dyno on these vehicles? Taking the manufacturers advertised ratings is about as useful as boiled mayonnaise. From the...

No budget - LED light bars. Budget - Lightforce. Various sizes and interchangeable filters. White light isn't the optimum color for all situations. Check what Alaskans and Canadians run on their rigs (e.g. harsh climes).

Why the large gap between the bumper and the headlight? Seems like a lot of empty space behind the outer bumper sections. Maybe run the tube directly beneath the headlight and connect to the frame or to the stinger?

Ever worked on a van engine?? Since it's not as easy as: lift the hood, unscrew the plug and screw in the adapter; this is the very last scenario to select (and I personally wouldn't use it). As this is a "last-ditch" question, you're probably not gonna be around the corner from the gas...

Holy schnikies...looks like a james bond movie set. :Wow1: What's the turning radius on that monster? Doya need a CDL to drive it on public roads?!? :ylsmoke:
