Awesome build! Glad to see Josh and MG kicking *** and taking great care of people! I'll have to stop by next time I can get out to Stanley. Last time we went, my daughter was 1.5 and got super sick. One short night at the lake and we had to run back to Boise.

Yes! Now get some business cards for me to keep in the van. ;) It never fails, if I'm on an important phone call in the van (only place I get peace and quiet from the kids) someone comes up and wants to ask a million questions.

What are your thoughts on using that denim insulation in a high moisture environment on an exterior surface?

I added about 1200lbs with a ujoint 6" conversion, aluminess bumpers, winch and 35s on 18s.

Yep, that's why I have four captain's chairs up front. We rented an EB sportsmobile (EB-50 or similar layout), and the rear seat was awful. Soft and bouncy and awful, especially with car seats. Interior was so noisy I couldn't communicate with the kids. Mine are in car seats too, so I had to...

How much weight is on the rear axle? What is the rating on the tires and how much pressure is in them?

For what it's worth on gearing, I had a crew cab f150 with the 5.4 and 4r75, with 35s and 4.56 years. It pulled great and I never felt like it was geared too short. When I first put it together, I lived in Kentucky and drove a lot of highways with 80mph limits. When I hauled my slide in...

2 builds ago so probably 3 years. Lol He was friendly on the phone but his product was junk. He paid to send it back but didn't replace the ujoints that clearly had a ton of play. I would guess it would be fine if you specific only spicer parts? But after my experience I wouldn't ever...

4.56 gears will be low on that diesel! I have 35, v10, 5r110 and 4.56 gears and the speed limits here are 55-65mph. And some days I wish I would have tried 4.30. Might want to order up some 37s for that beast. ;)

Don't order from Tom woods. Or if you do, make sure to specify everything is spicer parts. I went round and round with him with his ****ty Chinese "gold seal" joints that were way out of tolerance on my JK drivelines. tons of vibrations, I videod the large amount of visible slop on the...

A steering damper does absorb some road feel. Definitely something the typical consumer wants. I like them too. But I am a firm believer in making everything work right withOUT it first. Too many people use crazy stuff (or 2 or 4) dampers as a band aid for worn out or improperly setup...

Yeah but with the lack of grease that was in my hub today, I'd have suffered a similar fate I think. Several steps in the dynaloc instructions specificy "generous amounts of high quality grease" and there was barely any. Many spots that specified grease were completely dry. Well.... I say...

Ugh I need to pull apart my driver's side hub on my ujoint front axle as well. Mine is the "stage 2" RSC axle with dynaloc hubs. Twice now I've locked it up and the driver's side didn't engage, made grinding noise. Had to stop and unlock, drive, lock again. The X and O don't line up with the...

Well the lugs on the rear wheel adapters and front axle are different thread pattern than stock, so I needed new lug nuts anyway. I just wanted black lugs and that's what they had at discount. I suppose there is an advantage that the "key" is smaller diameter than whatever sized socket...

It still blows my mind that I could have tucked my 86 vanagon syncro under a tarp for 15 years and made a big profit on it. I miss the van but not the constant break downs and hard to find parts.

Let's not forget that the RV currently rides on coils with a sway bar. ;) I think with the proper spring rate and a big front sway bar it would be fine, and ride a little smoother. Actually I think a big REAR sway bar would be more critical on an RV like that personally. Either way I would...

He didn't mention anything about it being a coolant heater/hydronic setup. I'm assuming he's talking about a d2 or d4 air heater.

Camco even sells an insulated plug if your trim is thick enough. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-45192-Sunshield-Insulator-Reflective/dp/B0024E6QX0

Better thermal rating? Just stick some self adhesive Velcro around the trim and stick some reflectix to it, with some insulation above it. Or get fancy and sew an insulated cover.

No. I believe what Chris was saying is that a non RSC van could use the cheaper front axle (non RSC) with leaf springs. If you want RSC to work, the coil setup with newer axles cost lost than his RSC complaint leaf sprung axle.
