I'm using black gorilla keyed lugs as well. So far so good, but they also haven't been on all that long. I have removed and reinstalled them more times than I care to admit though.

Am I the only person who has searched for superchargers for the 2v V10 several times? haha I thought about it for a 5.4 but don't know if there is physically enough room. Plus the tranny is meh compared to the 5r110.

Road trip!

Can't believe you're sharing your prime vanidates! Couple of super nice rigs. You could definitely add storage in the sliding door, you just can't access it while open. Nowhere near what you can on a barn door, but there is a big open area right in the middle of the slider. Eventually I...

Awesome! I bet it works loads better in those conditions than most solid axle rigs. I have been so busy with my young kids that I really haven't been able to test my ujoint setup much aside from playing in the snow a bit. But I'm sure on the long washboard roads I'll be missing my tacoma with...

Turned out great!

Good call on the drain plug! That's the one good thing about my JK, both axles had drain plugs on the bottom of the housing.

I looked back at the ctek docs and apparently it does charge the starter battery via solar after the service batteries are topped off. Whether you consider that good or bad I don't know, just correcting my info I posted earlier. My thought is that it wouldn't send current to the starter...

I won't pretend to be more knowledgable on the subject than the two who responded already. So I'll just post my experience with the ACR, and my thought about the ctek which I haven't used yet. Take it for what it's worth. Some of the good and bad of the ACR. Obviously it is nice to be able...

Awesome! You lucked out on that one!

I'm not 100% sure because that's not what I've done on my rig, but was told when I called them since their website says they have a fix. The main fix (for their rigs) is a shorter/factory pitman arm. Mine is disable via a custom tune, although I'm not totally sure they intentionally did it...

They use a switch on the ground for the steering angle sensor. You'll still get all the lights but you have the option of "using" RSC or not. No idea why you would want to as it is dangerous if you're making an evasive maneuver anyway. It is really amazing how terrible RSC is on a modified...

Less words. More pictures. :********: Looking forward to the read. Where are you located? Why is the van immobile?

About as high as the curb at the local mall? I'm kidding, mostly. Nice to see someone doing something different. But I want to see it in action. A short arm kit isn't going to make big travel numbers, BUT properly setup should be able to eat up rough roads at higher speeds. That's what I...

Does it come with a huge Injen windshield decal too?!?! ;) Seriously though it's looking great!

That rig is also very different from Josh's. 35s, roof rack and tent, RB. Also that loud and heavy diesel which presents a much different driving experience. ;)

That sounds like a pretty fair assessment. Last week I finally got my steering all worked out, it was handful of little things. I don't want to clog up this thread but it had to do with track bar and leaf spring alignment (push/pull effect), working out different torque values etc. I made...

Didn't want to speak for you, but that's what I figured! The coolest thing about this rig is that is everything just looks like it belongs there. No hacked up wiring or backyard fabrication. Clearly lots of time, and sometimes a bit of trail and error, to get things right and make everything...

I don't have a solution but I've even had electric shift transfer cases refuse to work with ice and snow packed around them. NO external linkages but I still would have to get out and clear it with a stick. I would be cautious putting much over the linkage as it might actually trap and...

Ah yes! As much as I like the newer front ends, something about the 07 and earlier vans still does it for me. Years and years of dreaming about sportsmobiles when I was younger I suppose.
