Great spot. The "penthouse" of the maze district: 38°16'15.2"N 110°02'21.6"W

The sore back factor gets old too. It's so nice not to hunch over in the van, pop-top or high-top.

Hell yeah! Glad you made it and spots opened up. Hans Flat Rangers cracked me up too. Fun little road down to pan pnt eh!

Nice, thanks! I was pretty curious how it sounded.

I haven't, but heard they are loud. Hopefully the sealed storage will minimize the espar wake-up alarm!

Np, it passes through the wall of the storage and then dumps under the rear bumper:

Cheers Gents! Not a lot of progress to report on lately, been stuck in the doldrums of plumbing and wiring... I prefer the design and fab side of builds, finishing is the hard part! The batteries, espar, and compressor are finally plumbed though. Now it's time to make the electrical...

What, no lift? ;)

No affiliation, etc: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5487309649.html

VHB or another bonding agent in general. Size the feet/pads/attachment brackets etc. appropriately to support/distribute your intended load and bond it directly to the roof.

A reference point- I bought a 96 PSD with ~60K miles (a sweet spot for my likes). The van was from Texas and I have had to replace the following for age related reasons (mostly seals): Fuel Pump Water Pump Turbo Boots Tank Filler and Vent Hoses Headlights Coolant Hoses

I'm not sure if the 92 is the same as a 94 but these guys have them: http://www.accuratediesel.com/shop/96.html

That's where I got mine too (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MSK5RQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00). I used to have a smaller black abs tank and did the bonded fittings mentioned above. The only problem with that tank was that the glue smell never went away. It made it so...

Windows are awesome.

Nice shoes! 2 spares are better than one, or are those trailer shoes?

Excellent! Thanks for the verification Mwilliamshs.

Gents, I'm digging into plumbing a pre-heater and can't seem to locate a heater control valve on the van. Upon further research it looks like our vans may use a "blend air door" to bring in cool air in lieu of an actual bypass flow valve. This suggests that hot water is constantly circulating...

Indeed, and good safety note. Figuring out the plumbing on a "utilities box" is fun. Fuel in/out, coolant in/out, air in/out, and wiring in/out. Good times!

Cheers! In other news I finally replaced the weeping water pump with an Airtex AW4114 (OEM manufacturer, but cheaper). Also replaced the main hoses, pulleys, 206deg Thermostat, and added a coolant filter for good measure. The filter kit goes for 120$ here...

10" lift?
