Welcome! Been following you for years over on GJ. Excited to see how this develops. MG is a good friend, so I am a bit biased, but he's really dialing in his product. Great choice!

No magic. Your rear axle was crooked on the leaf springs with the right wheel (-0.9mm out) slightly behind the left wheel (1.6mm in). Just had to loosen some bolts and shift things around a bit until they got similar readings. In this case 1.2mm evened things out pretty well.

That's a good list! Can I make one suggestion tho? Stay away from the asphalt based peel and seal or sound deadener products. The way you use your van and the warm environments you are in will have that stuff all stinky and gooey in no time. Also, the asphalt based adhesives don't do well...
Be careful stepping out when wearing shorts! Like you, I thought grip tape on sliders was a good idea, but the first time I slide out wearing shorts left a fair amount of skin from my hamstring on said tape...
Looks good though!
