Oh wow, is this a useful post. What is the max sleeping clearance with the seats pushed forward? I use a similar setup in my fj60 except the forward extension slides out so its not a cargo handling moving situation. my intent was to figure out how to install the same system in the gren. I'm 6'4"...

Says 90% of people that never buy anything when it actually does materialize. :)

.......As he ignored engineer's and went with his gut impression of what works and what doesn't.

I don't have any transits. Old econolines and sprinters. I've always been lucky enough to get new vans when there was an economic downturn and get the 0% financing... you know... "How much do you want to put down on the vans?" --- What? why would I put anything down at 0%? ... "Ok, well, how...

I wonder if theres any caster correction. At plus 2, my G got unexpectedly wonky.

You tell me. How is it?

Then ignore that something. Like all engineering, it's materials and method that count.

Speaking of sprinters, I have a couple. My suggestion is to go to the local freight-liner shop. Much better service than the 1 in 5 Merc dealers that will work on a van, and I notoce they treat you like a customer and not a cash cow. I guess their normal base lives off the trucks, and fast...

from design process to being overbuilt this fell is preaching to the preacher on these issues. the UK cutoff of 3500 pounds is what didn't occur to me, and i think that limitation drove the whole package. use an aluminum v6 -100kilo use IFS/IRS with Al arms -100kilo that styer frame/body...

yea, thats the pain in ass part. i went to a smaller tank, and it still looses the versatility. its definitely WHOOSH v space. its why mine was abandoned. the only place to put it was under the deck sideways, or on the rack flat, which, made it a pain to upright it. some people put propane...

A co2 tank really beats them all for durability and speed, but, thats a whole 'nother packaging issue. that was the route I used for the lx470. yea, you gotta refill it, and that stays in your head, but i found it to be like fuel, in that i never ran out and the range anxiety was for nothing.

if the M18 was slow, like the cheapies, I'd agree. but its no harder to use than pulling out the hose, and it's not expensive. will an oasis xd do better? yea. it's almost as good as a york engine drive, but that because it's a york with a winch motor attached... for 2200 bucks. lol.

you get 20mpg from an excursion?

I've ruined more than one warn winch. I don't want it wedded to my air compressor unless it's a no cost option, which it isn't.

I actually wouldn't bother with an on board air. In various trucks I've done the york, the arb, and the puma and amazon cheapies. Unless you have air lockers, in which case it make sense to utilize the space and hassle with a dual use unit, it's waste of time. A engine driven York is stupid...

Are you girls really discussing MPG? Really? Range, maybe, but actual MPG? It's too late for pearl clutching! The earth is dead. The heat we're seeing now is from Pittsburgh pollution in 1982, we haven't even gotten to the industrial revolution of china yet. We done messed up, we're all dead...

I wonder what the TR is. The wheel wells look "roomy". As in possible 35's roomy. I like roomy...

I'm interested in a whole slew of numbers to compare it. If this ticks all the boxes, and is straddled with a full hatch instead of a tailgate, that will be soOOOoooOOOOoooOOOOooooOOooo upsetting. Maybe its me, but the the full hatch vs tailgate or door, is what separates alot of truck...

"But increased part count adding complexity really isn't the reason the new caddy is in a different league , is it? Could it be...... Design and QC/QA?" That's my Quote from above. I guess you... agree. Ok.. But for examples lets not use stats that "clip" the bar graph. As you can see when you...

Since were talking reliability and durability, lets look at the affect each system has on the unit as whole. Controlling all that unsprung weight, and changes in camber and castor on both wheels when one hits an obstacle, cause a whole bunch of NVH that needs abated in a solid axle not present...
