Cragar soft 8 ******. The full size forum guys nailed it.

Game onnnn! Hey wanderer do you have a photo of how you mounted it? I think I’m gonna run some flat bar along the legs of my roof rack or maybe i or box if it needs to stand off the side a little.

I’m very grateful ?. As a retired librarian, she appreciated your cooler pun when I told her she was expo famous just now.

I cheated the ice holding comparison/value test. I came home today and one was on my front porch. The best cooler money can buy is the one your awesome mom buys and ships to you without telling you. She probably saved me like an hour of watching videos and reading ready stupid reviews all to...

Thanks guys. Ordered the canvas one just now. Phill your pic didn’t load for some reason. I’m thinking about the tent room too but wondering if the height of the awning will be an issue. Tent walls are 6’7” and I’m guess the awning will be around 7’6” on the van if not a couple inches...

Is the aluminum cover worth the premium? I’m not concerned about the looks but about it holding up over time. Seems like those little bungees on the hardcover would be an easy fail point?

And it also looks bigger than the 23 or 26 GMC Motorhomes. Yup read that Wikipedia instantly. Dammit. Now I want one.

Exactly. But this one is a Revcon, you can see the letters Re on the driver side nose below the windshield.

Found it. “Revcon” all aluminum body built on the GMC Motorhome drivetrain. Some quick wormhole searching led me to the ************ Revcon Trailblazer. Oh the fun and pointless things to research instead of going to bed early...

Any idea of the name? Re__ something? I just snapped the photo as we drove past it. The Delorean lines got me

No it’s not an overland but I just gotta know what the heck it is.

Parking brake. It’d be nice to have a hand operated one since this is a manual. Maybe I won’t need it with the granny first gear but still I don’t really care for the action of the stock foot pedal style. Does anyone have a style they liked? The Tacoma dash mounted ones are kind of cool. I...

It’s just begging for a tug of war competition that’s all!

Painted axles and just decided I’m going to stick with a 4wd boat trailer instead of van.

More prep for the big weekend of install in the near future. Sorry for posts of steps that seem obvious but I’m doing this also to keep track of it all for me and for my friends and fam to check in and see so I’m not always answering the question “done anything new on the van?!” Got the old...

I did the last two holes when Bobby got back to the shop and introduced me to the big ass drill with two guiding handles (not sure what the drill is normally used for concrete?). If you can find one to rent and get a friend to brace it, it made the big holes significantly less sketchy. Got...

Steering box. I figure I’ll replace during this process. Stock or aftermarket like Redhead? Anyone have a part number for the little rubber bushing in the steering column above the box?

Well yep. No holes on the inside of the hangers because you can’t get a drill in there. Duh. Got them up and the frame drilled last night. Hopefully getting some paint on them and the axles today. I’ve been trying to knock out steps that can still allow me to use van until the springs arrive...

Learned a bit yesterday about mile marker hubs. DO NOT grease them. According to MM the tackiness can cause them get stuck in the locked position. I thought I was doing a good thing by disassembling the hubs and greasing them up since the axle came from a junk yard. I reassembled and literally...

I’ve been pretty stoked on my axle carrying trailer (for a little skiff a friend is keeping at my dock). I can’t keep all my crap at the metal shop so it’s been great to have a mobile workbench for the axle rebuild.
