By far the best protection method I have seen is moving to the southwest!:sombrero: With my past vehicles (I still need to do my van) I brushed on rustoleum and touched it up every year. I preferred the gloss over the flat since the mud seemed to come off easier. Fluid film or Krown may be...

I had the idea of using a craigslist tonneau cover for a pop top........$200 + some canvas work an you could be in business. How did looking at the van go!?

My AWD Express came with some P-rated tires. Had a nail in them within a few weeks of ownership new LT tires havent had any yet (may just be luck, or the thicker carcass deflecting the nails better, who knows?) sold them to my brother on the cheap. He has already replaced two within a year: one...

This thread is the reason Expedition Portal is now banned at my work. I for one am excited to see the direction this new van build goes!

My answer is it totally depends on what coupler you have! Both of these couplers are binding .....the bulldog on the left is the one that I used. I did end up grinding/ clearancing both the ball and the coupler. It was a 5000+ lb rated hitch towing a 750 lb trailer. The loss of a little bit...

Ahhh this must be the Chinook that Weldtec posted up on their instagram! Looks really sweet!

I think they turned out awesome. Honestly only the trained eye would notice that they aren't factory installed..........can't say that with the aftermarket offerings I have seen! I may have to break out the sawsall and add another window!

I have been impressed with how well these vans do with just a torsion bar crank and longer shocks. I cant wait to take it to the next level! Since nobody is chiming in for pic requests I will chime in! How about some shots of the factory windows you added to the cargo van. I had thought about...

Wow that's a bad location for a cooler!

Sounds like it was money well spent! I for one am jealous of the suspension you have got going. I have a feeling it would absolutely eat up the washboards and whoops out in Utah's west desert.

AWD & a G80 diff for $3k? You got a great deal on that rig! I paid almost three times more than you did with almost the same miles....... My van is getting white-chevy-paint-itis pretty bad in spots now. My rig use to have a wrap on it but the newfound exposure to the elements is weathering it...

Honestly none of the high tops I looked at were "attractive" they are all pretty much functionality over form. For what it's worth tops in my area are only $50 if you pull them yourself........hard to buy the supplies for that price.

I will likely be disconnecting my swaybar to get that front end working like it should. or just strait up ditch it all together like I have on the last few rigs that I have owned I just have never seen that much of a detrimental effect to the handling getting rid of them once its set up with the...

Horse stall liner works well, it just doesn't come clean very easily.

I have tried two different seat swivels with disappointing results, although both were salvage yard units. I am planning on making my own out of a spare Jeep unit bearing I have laying around the garage. Where the axle shaft was located is where I am planning on passing the seat wires through so...

Some local shops I have had good experiences with inn the greater SLC area: Summit Machine (Draper) Not sure if they do work on vehicles Ben Hanks Racing (Sandy) Mt. Logan Offroad (Logan) Fat Bobs Garage (Layton) All Pro Offroad (Ogden) I would avoid/ have been burned by in the past: Rocky...

That van all twisted up is purely pornographic! Been out of the country for the last two weeks and its great to come back to updates on my favorite build! Been researching ways to get some more travel out of my stock AWD express, and since your the resident long travel chevy van expert I have a...

Dang...........sounds better than dinner with the family. Grew up in Bountiful, miss it down there. Hit me up next time you head out, all my wheeling buddies got lame and sold their 4x4's
