    Sprinter 4WD Conversion Idea, GMT-800 IFS.

    Ryan should be able to get you any dim's you need. Quick is relative, that's a lot of rod to throw down. A lot of tacking to lock it for welding. Your going to have to jump around a little to keep it from becoming a banana.

    The shocks will probably be there before you get done welding all that together..........

    Colorado / Canyon bent frame

    You want design flaw, you should see the semi loads of Toyota frames going through here to replace all the rusted out ones. Box frames hold way more water than C channel frames. Mix that with a little road salt and you're boned.

    Colorado / Canyon bent frame

    Looks like a standard off the shelf unit to me, same length as all the ones I have and looks shorter than my drop down.

    Ryan is good to deal with and knows what he's doing. He should be able to set you up out of the box with valving and spring rate. Way easier than piecing it together yourself.

    Colorado / Canyon bent frame

    I saw a Canyon in downtown Dallas that was being used as a delivery truck. It had a lift gate on the back of it. The gap between the bed and the cab looked a little big. Looked like one more good load and it would look like this truck.

    Using the F150 upper arm also opens up a lot of aftermarket options if you want to go that way in the future.

    Those also came on E250's and 350's. Also excellent wheels. The Cheby wheels are also made by Alcoa. You can't go wrong with any forged Alcoa wheel for strength.

    If you can fit these, they are excellent wheels.

    Those split shims will spit out. There is nothing to keep them in place. Maybe if they were one piece, but shims are still a bad idea.

    Aluminum tube spacers is a bad idea. Spacers in general are a bad idea.

    Lots of Ford 205's had 32 spline outputs. Cheby and Dodge also used them so that may be why. That slip yoke is for a CV joint. Do you really need a CV joint? I try to stay away from them as the are not as strong and have more parts to wear out. Also, replacing joints in them on the trail brings...

    Baja beach access advice

    There are many beach's that your rig will fit on. Also many it won't. I would advise scouting with the Sami if you are unsure. If you have some specific destinations in mind i may be able to help, I have been up and down Baja a few times.

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Mount it with the blade on the top side. This will keep most of the oil from running out. If I leave mine sitting on the shelf it will eventually dump all the bar oil out. If I prop it up with the blade on top and flat, it doesn't drool all over the place.
