got a lot of mileage out of that one My buddy forwarded me that vid. I had tears in my eyes watching it. "I want gear driven cams, i want chain ************* drive! Why don't you just cut out the middle man and buy me a pile of rust! Great stuff.

always fun to check out van builds. Thanks.

yota vans Way to go with the van. Yeah, the yota vans are sweet. I took a good long look at them. Had a few beers with Yota van guru in Bellingham, with the white 4x4 w/ white wheels. He always seems to have an extra van around incase anyone is looking for one. Knows em inside and out...

suprised in snow and ice I have a set on my company truck. I could not believe how well they handled in snow and icey hills, just in case you get some snow any time soon with all this climate change.

Thanks Muchas Gracias, Senor.

Mpg Okay. I started my trip with a fuel fill up, and a trip meter reset to zero. At the end of my trip, the odometer read 580 miles. But I knew that was high and would need to be adjusted. This trip was actually the break in 500 miles for the new gears. (Just changed the diff fluid...

link to couple pics Hey Preach, Later when I have time, I will try to address some Astro off roading and camping issues with you, to sort of see what your expectations are. Kinda let you know what the limitations may be and how much you are going to have to modify to get what you are...

Thanks for the link Wow, what an incredible read. I skimmed it, then went back and started at the beginning only to break out in a leaky mess as I read of his high hopes and enthusiasm, while I already knew the outcome.. His spirit. His insight. He was a superb writer. I've lost friends...

The LOOOOONG ANSWER to your question Funny you should ask. I just brought the van home tonite from Randy's Ring & Pinion with the new 4:10's and Eaton posi. They tell me the van gets 16-18 with the stock 215/70's on it. I only drove it about 500 miles before putting the lift on it and...

Yeah, the first time he asked me to grab an impact, I went over to the box and did the old "deer in the head lights".

Brother in law's garage Its easy to have all the gear takeing up the room in my garages when you have a (future) brother in law like mine. We installed the lift at my brother in law's garage, down the road a piece. He's got most any tool I'll ever need to play with. I do a lot of my work on...

Finished a whole bag of Doritos and a Pepsi on this thread I love these threads. I'm kind of a garage light weight compared to some of the beuaties on this thread. I love the one on adventure rider .com http://advrider.com/ (home page slide show, somewhere in ther is a garage thread)...

Night & day nice work, Bro...or should I say Big Bro!

a view from the other side A view from the perspective of the sales guy. I've been in sales for about 20 years. Mostly in the kayak industry, or outdoor industry in general. Its easy to spot the guy who will buy based on his dreams and fantasies, but will never engage in the realities and...

agree I know Fuhrer Werner (sp?) and he and his family are the genuine article, you're right. Great people, and still a good company to work for. Good luck with the project.

I would like to help out if the time ever comes. Didn't mean to hijack your thread, but thought it relevant. Hope you get a decent turnout and make some good progress. In the mid '90's I worked for Great River Outfitters in Michigan, importing and distributing Valley Kayaks (VCP at the...

more must have been an rv park, there were about 4-5 sets of axles, and all these poles that look as if they belonged to car awnings.

Wa. Don't get me wrong, anytime you can do Washingtons coast including the Hoh Rain Forest its a bit of an adventure. I thought about a clean up while I was there but I definitely need more than two days notice. You said Or/Wa. Who is oraganizing Wa. and do you know if Tokeland is on the...

Washington storm damage I did a trip last weekend that included kayaking off the coast at Westport, Wa, and there's a bit of clean up needed down there, too. I drove the beach from Westport down to Tokeland, and the damage was actually in Tokeland.

Whats this "aftermarket" you speak of? Ahh, no, don't know what you mean at all...Black Sheep? Fabbed? Hmm. (ha ha) Just incase sarcasm doesn't traverse the internet too well, yeah, I know exactly what you mean. My new full size spare, at only 30", barely fits underneath. I...
