If you can't afford to replace both batteries and the alternator, then I would replace the main battery, the alternator, and disconnect the second. If it is dead, it will absolutely draw down on your new battery and eventually burn up your alternator as well. For clarification, is your second...

I think most folks use the grinder. I would score the line with a metal scribe, then lightly trace the score with the grinder to get a nice visible groove going, followed up by the final pass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OiWs7g5i0ZM#t=606

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for this van!

IF I had the money to buy new, and IF I was forced to part with my Duramax, I would be looking really hard at the F-150 with the EcoBoost. Even though I am not a fan of V-6's in general, I heard one go by me the other day under load, and the turbo whine was glorious! Fortunately, I already...

From Ford's website: 2015 3.5 EcoBoost Super Crew with 156.8 WB has an 11,500lb towing capacity and up to a 2,650lb payload depending on options.

Combine that with the disappointing MPG's that Tundra owners have been reporting. My buddy at work gripes non-stop about his mileage and the front brakes warping. No first hand experience myself tho, sorry.

Congrats on the van, Man! Definitely convert that front end to the UJOR setup. You will absolutely not regret the money spent! I recommend doing the high steer upgrade as well, maybe track bar too depending on what you have going on in there now. Post some detailed pics of the front...

I had an older model Bedslide in my van project for a bit, and it was really handy. What I did not like about it was that it would bounce up and down on its track on uneven surfaces. Sometimes it was really loud and sometimes it was a constant rattle. I am sure that the newer models are much...

Gonna be so RAD!!!!

Yes, but my truck has hydroboost. :) Oh... And now 52 psi all around.

13" as well.

Take (4) Bilstein 5100's and call me in the morning.

The Toyo MT's are super stout. My 305/70-17 Nitto Terra Grapplers are rated at 3640 @ 65psi but they seem to have more sidewall bulge than the Toyo's at similar pressure. For comparison, I am running them at 55psi COLD on my 8100lb-ish truck. They are a little bit chattery at that pressure...

To the best of my recollection, VANdiana weighed right in at 8000lbs empty prior to the winch. At 7500 lbs (prior to the final 4x4 conversion) I ran 36-38 psi out to Minnesota and back with no wear issues, pulling, wallowing, etc. Those 35x12.50-17 Toyo MT's are a 65 psi max tire, so if you...

6" vent in a Leer. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/145161-2007-Chevrolet-2500HD-Project-quot-Agnes-quot?p=1895195#post1895195

Blog looks great. May I suggest that you substitute Canyonlands National Park for Arches. I have been to both, and Canyonlands offers way better vistas and hiking opportunities. Plus, if you want to do part of the White Rim Trail, it's right there.

To add to that point, Western Washington (well known for its rain) has had brush fires almost everyday on the freeway medians and shoulders for weeks now. It is nuts!

Meaning: Welcome to Western Washington Journalists. Enjoy the traffic. Kinda like the San Diego 405 Sepulveda Pass on any given day. With probably similar heat, so I hope Toyota figured out the whole AC thing, cuz your gonna be sitting for a while. Actually, to be honest, it looked pretty...

Now push that front axle forward a tad to take advantage of the bumper trim.

Very Nice! Looks vastly more useful than the alpha. Have fun on your trip.
