probably only $150 to get it powder coated...you can do the rough prep and they blast it before coating...saves a load of work..

have you cycled it when turned at full lock both directions?

I have wildpeaks on my rig and love them...I resisted going from 33 to 35 in (it was tough to let that go) but the wheel wells on my van really don't support the extra diameter when you start stuffing/turning. Also you need to consider the extra load on steering (particularly when not moving or...

trutracs are awesome LS diffs...you just need to know to give them some brake bias when you are peg-legging..

this method also is much more flexible for someone who wants to customize some aspects of it...for instance, incorporating a differential drop or repowering with a different engine would be much easier with individual pieces vs a formed piece that sets those positions/elevations...it's not...

didn't realize that...I've only ever seen converted vans up close.. Just looked it up...I guess that they decided it was easier than moving a traditional steering box forward...that's a tight spot to jam that thing in.. https://images.craigslist.org/01616_aQosH9wk1KL_1200x900.jpg

While I'm running SAS 4x4 I agree that, as soon as you move to larger tires and AWD/4x4 you push the load on the steering box past it's happy spot...particularly turns to the left when setting still. When I build my van I installed a redhead steering box that is ported for hydro-assist...I've...

Pull the cover and inspect...I just had an issue with a G2 cover that didn't have sufficient clearance for aftermarket gears, I had to use a flapper wheel to remove some materail.

exactly...and since you weren't really wanting any lift that really takes SAS off the table anyways, none of the vans are designed (like many trucks are) with a frame/unibody shape up front that allows the axle housing to move up into during compression...so all of that has to be built in with...

less chemical and glove...more cutting, grinding, fitting please.. :D

CRC Brakleen - 50% Acetone, some Toluene and Methanol as well...there are a bunch of different versions of it, I'm sure the mixture varies..

the active ingredient in the brake cleaner I buy is acetone...and if you wait the couple seconds it takes for it to evaporate there isn't any concern at all..

while you're still in mock up I'd just keep them lightly oiled (I just use wd40) and whenever I want to tack/weld that area hit it with some brake cleaner(I keep a gallon of acetone to wipe down large areas), after you're confident with differential and suspension fit up you can look at more...

get the best...ARB..

it's not something you frequently see as most will(or have been) offset the engine/trans to the passenger side to open up more room for steering/braking components on the drivers side...but...with vehicles being designed to be either LHD or RHD that really wouldn't be the smartest play..

what I'm most surprised about (unless I'm looking at the pics wrong) is the passenger side drop t-case/front diff)..??

looks like they've got it jacked to the max to get those snow-cat set ups on there..

I carry our scooter with us and that sets behind the spare and tool box swing outs, that's the max I would want out back; look at maybe a front receiver hitch and carry your bicycles up front and your motorcycle out back, my rig is 10'2" tall I wouldn't want anything up higher than that.
